So i want to buy an accord euro...

[steve88]

my mate is a mechanic so thats alright i guess. i just see such big price differences, over 10k-12k between a cheapest euro and the most expensive (between 2003-2006 model)

also what about installing new decks in euros? is that a pain at all?

I have been looking for a car as well - the reason why there is huge price differences is that lots of sellers have unrealistic expectations as to what the car is worth. The Euro is a 5 year old model - some of the prices around are a joke. May as well just walk in to a Honda show room and buy a new car with the deals going around.

You need a line in module and the deck has to sit in the center compartment. In that case, you want a non-sat nav Euro because the center storage compartment is empty.

so they're big enough too actually put Double DIN or decks with screens?

hey dont want to start arguement here, but have you already had your mind set on euro, or are there any other cars in mind.

i reccomend test driving a mazda 6 or 3 sedan, and the holden commodore range, its around the same price as a brand new euro.
good luck with your new car aswell~ i have accord euro btw

You can get a fascia that will fit a double din. Not sure if a motorised screen will work because there might not be enough clearance between the compartment and the gearstick.

Selling my beloved EK civic and I want to get myself an accord euro. but i really know not much about accord euros, did some wikipedia and google search but not too much i can find (all usdm info). the first generation of accord euro is the one im after

Technically that should be the JDM Accord, the CF4 model

- with the leather seats, does your ass stick to them in summer? is the luxury package worth the extra $2-3k just for (what, leather seats and sunroof?)
I love the leather seats and sunroof. I guess if your sweaty then it would stick. But once aircon kicks in, it isnt an issue. Depends if you need these options, if your after performance, i think the lux model is about 70kg heavier that stadard from memory.
The lux model you also get 2 extra airags for the rear passengers, HIDS, foglights and heated electronic seats.

You dont get 2 extra airbags for the rear passengers, but you get curtain airbags, from the A pillars

oh also, what about replacing the deck? ie. putting like a screen there or, or just my old civic deck cause i dont wanna spend a fortune making my euro ipod friendly

ok cheers for clearing that up. now i am tossing up between 2 particular euros

both same price, manual, black etc. base models but one is 2006 model with 93000km's, the other is 2005 model but with 60,000km's... the facelift on the 2006 model appeals to me, are those headlights interchangeable?

How much are they?Private or dealer?I'd be leaning more towards the 05 model cause of the Ks or drive a hard bargain on the 06 because of the high Ks.

private
19k

i was thinking of getting luxury, 2-3k more ... but ireally am not a fan of leather seats, i just want HID's and sunroof lol. thats why i was curious if 06 lux headlights fit on a 05 base model
