Seems like a reasonable price. All depends on tthe condition too.

did they still use cassette decks back in 97 ? my how time flies

sounds pretty good, get a check and all the usual blah blah

hope my 1 cent helps, what colour/condition of paint ?

I have original cassette player from Honda in my 96 VTi-S. It's VTi-S but cassette player... duh lol...

Just for reference/comparison, I bought mine for $6000 but odo is over 200K. Paint is good no rust no obvious scratch around corners nothing. And it's auto VTi-S.

You can get the car valued to see how much it is worth. Cheers.

mmm sounds a bit steep to me. Depends on the condition of the car. I wouldnt pay over 8,000. I bought a auto 95' vti-s for 7000 with just under 200 clicks. Check to see if its got a good service history. If u think its been treated well go for it.

u can start getting next shape accords for a bit under 10k now.

[tru3_k177]

my budget is actually 5k since i got mine last time for 3.5k and its a 95 and fully mod with custom speakers, lowered, central locks and all that stuff.

this colour is silver blue and hopefully its more to the silver side.

yea but your last accord didnt have VTEC yo ...
its all about vtec

I picked my stock as a rock 95 VTi 5spd with 127 thou on the clock for $7500 with no rust etc. But that was through a friend... $8900 definitely seems a bit high, maybe $7500-8000 would be more reasonable for what it is.

Just purely my opinion, I won't get a next gen Accord (CG Accord) simply because I always like CD Accord much more than any other Accord (except JDM CF Accord, Euro R CL1, and Accord Euro). Maybe I'm biased towards CD lol...

If I'm not mistaken CD Accord was made in Japan whereas next gen Accord and onwards were made in Thailand (except Accord Euro).

pretty sure thats correct.
I agree, cd5 is by far the best shape accord. other than euro it is the only 1 i like.

8900 is very rich for vti. vti-s would fish around the 8k mark, depending on alot of things. Most advice I can give you, if it looks well maintained, the extra 900 or watever it is you might as well pay it. reason being, if the car has been thrashed and is 2k cheaper, you will bet your bottom dollar you will have ongoing hassles and prob spend the same money.
Be sure the first time.
