my new ex!

[jakes29]

What does everybody think of my new accord?

[jakes29]

p.s. thats my old bronco II for sale in the back ground

[Pairallel]

Let's have some details...!

Looks like it has SE wheels on it - don't think those were the standard EX wheels.

Looks like tinted windows all the way around?

Leather? Sunroof?

Color?

Any evidence of tranny issues? Got the repair history?

Any work planned for new accessories?

Get a good deal?

:confused:

Those are standard EX wheels. *Whoops just noticed the car is a 2000. Those are standard EX wheels but only for 01-02* All EX also come with sunroof. Nice car, I like the spoiler :)

[jakes29]

im not sure if the wheels are stock or not but they are sweet.
my favorite feature is the moonroof.
Cloth interior
Tint all around
inline 4 cylinder
82k miles
Transmission seems to work great on the road. Fluid is not bad from a visual standpoint. Still red. I don't have any maintenance records. I may go to the dealership and see if I can get some.
got it for 2000 less than NADA!!!!
thats probably the best part

I love it. I have never owned a Honda. Like I said, thats my old truck in the background. I drove that for 6 years. I plan on driving my Honda at least 6 years.

here's the rear, fresh off a buff and wax. If you can't tell, it has the gold emblems.

Nice ride jakes29.. :thmsup: Thanks for sharing:cool:

EX wheels are 5 or 7 spoke
SE wheels are 8 spoke

Are those dings in the rear or just weird reflection?
Above the license plate hole on right in the deck lid.
Almost looks like a huge tree reflecting?

I1 :)

[jakes29]

no, it's so shiny that it looks like they are dings. Just kidding. Its just a weird reflection.

[Inspector1]

That's Cool :thmsup:
I'm partial to the 6th gen styling ;) ;) :D

Good choice of color and trim level. You must have the power driver seat too. My LX is green with tan cloth, and my EX is blue with blue leather.

Being a 2K fan myself (see signature), I can recommend some cheap and easy accessory upgrades (EBay pricing):

-- splash guards ($40)
-- all weather mats ($35 - front only)
-- cargo tray for trunk ($50)

Also, make sure that cabin air filter ($20) has been changed recently - they can get pretty nasty. See the thread here for DIY assistance to save about $80:

What kind of tires does it have on it?

Side airbags?

Nice to see another happy Honda! Great choice!:)

[anysia]

nice car and nice shine!! i love the 6th gen sedans! :)

[jakes29]

It has brand new goodyear tires.

I will definately check out the all weather floor mats. I need some to keep my mats and carpet from getting nasty. I was thinking of going to walmart and getting some cheap plastic ones just for protection. Anybody have any suggestions?

I will definately look into the cabin air filter as soon as I get my chilton's manual. I bought one yesterday on EBay.

I was impressed with the size of the trunk. It already has two plastic bins on the drivers side.

My drivers seat is not power.

I really like the stock look but I am open to any more suggestions on accessories.

Like I said before, I am really excited about this car. I absolutely love it. I have made a few posts in the detailing forum if anybody is curious. I was a professional detailer for two years. Take care everybody.

Let me know if anybody has any suggestions on more accessories.

If you're disappointed in the Chiltons, next time find a Helms.... that's what the techs use.

[Pairallel]

The Chilton manual is useless...don't waste your money! Buy the real thing at helminc.com for about $70.


Stay away from Walmart...you're driving a Honda now! The oem mats are a perfect fit and extremely well made - rubber, not plastic.

And always start with EBay - you can get some excellent deals there...;)

[jakes29]

Sorry, but I have seen OEM numerous times but I still don't know what it stands for.

I used a Chiltons for my old Ford Bronco II and I liked it. I will try a Helms if for some reason the Chilton's for the Hondas sucks.

OEM (original equipment manufacturer) = factory = stock:cool:

(more or less...)

[jakes29]

thanks pair:D
