Trying to find the perfect honda for me...

[bex]

About roughly $10k+/- to spend,

Prefer DOHC
Automatic
around 100,000kms, or less than 10yrs old
Prefer 4 door
Dont need "phat" sound system, but would like a nice interior

Something that hasnt been thrashed about, Ive been looking around on Drive, Carsales, tradingpost, Carpoint... and havent found anothing. are my expectations too high?

[mattchuej8]

a good honda to your specific likings is tad hard to find, for 10K under.
how about 15k under.

get your self a nice cruisey prelude with leather interior :)
wiht a 2.2L DOHC vtec, not made for racing but as i said, for cruising.

[CB7_OWNER]

ONly car i can think off that is around that price and if your lucky is any of the VTI-R variants... soo thats Preludes, Civic, and Integra's...But then again non off these are 4 door..


Thats if your really lucky....cause most VTI-R go for just over 10k...with quite a high mileage clocked up already as well...


Soo i guess a Honda Accord from about 1997+

i saw this, which is apparently DOHC
