Hello,

As i now work from home i decided to sell my 2006 Ford territory AWD Ghia as i no longer needed a big heavy tank to sit at home and depreciate and i really wanted to get back behind the wheel of another Honda. I had an 94 Accord vti years ago which i absolutely loved and regret ever getting rid of it - an awesome car for its time!

Anyway, after selling the territory i went searching for a second hand Honda, something cheap and reliable as it was mainly only going to be used on weekends etc as a second car (the wife has a 2010 LV Ford Focus zetec manual - also a great drive).

After searching the internet high and low i couldnt believe my luck when i stumbled accross a 2003 (1st reg 2004) honda Accord V6 Luxury with low K's and under $10k (thats very cheap in Adelaide)! I drove it, had it mechanically checked out and all reported very well... the dealer even threw in free rego!

So less than week since taking delivery and i couldnt be happier. It's quiet, comfortable, powerfull, luxurious and i must say it is the nicest car i have driven in a long time.

The only problem now is the wife wants to drive it all the time and i get stuck with the focus!!!

Might be time to sell the focus and get another Honda... CRV maybe... ;)

I've attached a picture of it however i am sure you all know what they look like anyway.
:)

Cheers,

Davin.

Looks nice, I'll bet it's automatic, 'cause that will guarantee you lose it. And if you want it back, make sure the CRV is auto.

I think he is implying that females love autos, that's why she has taken it over

And the way to get your Accord back it to make sure the next honda you get is a Auto too so you can Reclaim your Accord :D!

Looks like a Pretty Sweet ride, good purchase
