|  New(er) Car! Well folks my 1994 Ranger that I bought 4 years ago with 180k miles for 2 grand finally let me down. Only the wheel bearings went but The truck also has no heat, no ac and not even air and has a hard time shifting into second gear. I am also leaving the Marines and moving to Boston next month so I will need something with heat. The truck served me well for 4 years and I am glad I had it but it was time to take a small step up. Specs, 2001 Honda Accord EX 52k original miles One owner (an older couple) private seller not a dealer final wheeling and dealing $8500 , well below blue book and I got the title because they had it paid off It it nice to have something a little more reliable and comfortable

  | Re: New(er) Car! Sounds sweet! I thought I was the only one that didnt care about cars. I am riding in a luxury sedan right now let me tell you, 1996 Geo Metro, looks like <removed>. I'm gonna do the same thing you did, drive it til it falls apart. I thought my heat quit workin the other day but it came back on. Congrats on the new car I will definetely be buying something like that in the near future, but for now this car has let me save alot of money in gas and money for flight training. Gave $600 for it.

| Re: New(er) Car! Very nice find!! I test drove one of those Accords a few years back and I was very impressed with it. Change the oil every so often and it will go forever. My friend had a 92 with 177k on it when he sold it and it still runs like champ today. Keep in mind this car would get redlined several times a day and he always forgot to change oil.

| Re: New(er) Car! Thanks guys/gals, I am really impressed with it. I am not big into spending money on transportation but I needed something a little more reliable than i had so I shopped around and really found a great seller who offered a good deal. I had a honda before (1989 Civic SI) and it had 224,000 and had no signs of weakening so I thought I would give them (honda) another try
