I'm going to look at a 96 Cobra Convertable tonight. High mileage and needs body work but, they only want 2k.

Just found this for the Wifey...Going to look at it tomorrow - 07 Ody w/ 64k MI for $16k....a fucking STEAL - books out over $20k. Just out of warranty but, it's a Honda.

Thoughts?

when I have to make the move to the mini, I'm going big pimp'n...cloth is a bitch with kids!  I'd like to get one that's fully loaded...I think the Oddy is called a touring pckg

that one is nice though, not that many miles.  I would ask paul if he has any experience with that years powertrain

[slipkord]

Yeah I'm with you Mark, I hate cloth, esp with kids. They've already screwed the backseat of the Mazda, in 4 months!! I looked in my Consumer Reports book and that year seems to be solid, would be nice to hear from someone more familiar with that year though, like you said.  Super clean one owner, (Honda dealership owned it, ftw!)...I'm buying that baby tomorrow!

My boss drives an 06, and has had 0 issues. He had to do the brakes a little early but, he drives like a mad man so I'm sure it's related.

imo, that's high mileage for an 07..

KBB trade-in value is $15k for it.  So chances are, at auction price, the dealer probably bought it for like $11k.

It's a Honda, but its not a steal in terms of price..

[sherker55]

Good research skills Mark, see Jer, you need to be like Mark!

[slipkord]

Considering I've seen other 07s with 100k miles selling for 17k, I think this is a steal, miles are high for that year but its a Honda

[sherker55]

maybe you can get it for less...if you have cash, maybe you can get it for 13k or 14k

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!  Love my '06 Ody.  Zero problems.  Looks like a steal of a price.

I Recently acquired another ride since my Lil bro got a 2007 MazdaSpeed3 Grand Touring. I love the power in that thing. His old car is here with me now. Its a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon Gt

I just found an LX (wifey doesnt need the EX amenities) for a few hundred lower and almost 20k less miles.

[sherker55]

Keep looking and you might find an EX for the same!

[DV8mAn]

EXL-RES is the only way to go!  Leather doesn't stain like cloth seats.

I'm going a different route after rummaging through alot of rusted out trucks. I found a pristine MKII Jetta diesel with low miles for cheap. Going to look at it tomorrow. Jealous Tim?
