Down to 2 cars

[kombolcha]

i'm still looking for a car and i've decided the Altima, 1. are hard to find and 2. they are very expensive, even for a used car.

so it has come down to these two Honda Accords. they're both the same price, but i have a hard time choosing. i list the difference and then choose which you'd get and why?

1999 Accord EX (EX is top of the line model)

50,000 Miles (50,000 mile warrenty remaining)

Air Conditioning

Power Steering

Power Windows

Power Door Locks

Tilt Wheel

Cruise Control

AM/FM Stereo

Cassette

Single Compact Disc

Dual Front Air Bags

ABS (4-Wheel)

Moon Roof

Alloy Wheels

=============

2002 Accord LX (LX is the middle trip package)

60,000 Miles (40,000 mile warrenty remaining)

Air Conditioning

Power Steering

Power Windows

Power Door Locks

Tilt Wheel

Cruise Control

AM/FM Stereo

Single Compact Disc

Dual Front Air Bags

Rear Spoiler

they are both within $2,000 of each other... the 99 is $12,000 and the 2002 is $14,000... the price doesn't matter because i'm going to demand $8,000 and $10,000 at the most (10g's includes tax, and license fees.)

so which would you get?

Really, in all honesty, it depends on how important the moon roof is to you. Because otherwise, regardless of the model, they are the same cars. Same engine, same body, everything. Unless the higher class model has leather seats and the other doesn't, the only pro to the 99 is the moon roof.

In my opinion, get the 2002. You should be able to haggle to 10k flat after everything for it.

I'd choose the '99. It has ABS, cassette player (for those times you want to plug your external MP3 player and want high quality), and the moon roof.

Vice King, if you're still undecided; I would recommend you review the specs you're comparing: possibly

AutoTrader Direct Lookup, because I can't believe Anti Lock Brakes aren't available in both those models. That should be a decision maker - go with the ABS if it's not in both. And that's a nice car, you're gonna look slick with either one of them, and hopefully drive safe.

They are almost the same car, go for the 99 one :)

[shockz]

I'd go for the 99... longer warranty and its an EX. :)

THe 2002 will probably be more reliable. It depends on how much you want those options. Also depends how much the owner cared for it.

Definitely bring down the price of the 2002 tho, way too expensive

[kombolcha]

the 99 is absolutely perfect, i swear it's almost brand new, he even went out and purchased brand new carpets for the car..

the 02 is also very clean, but the 99 is just not like anything i have ever seen.

[xxkrnxstylezxx]

Maybe the 99 is better than. Ask him some questions, see how he drives the car, etc. But if it seems cleaner, it probably means he takes care of it better

I would get the '99 if only because it has less miles, and if it was me I drive so much I want the least amount I can get ;) Plus it has a cassette which is good if you have a mp3 player and a tape adapter.
