So, I've been doing some thinking and I honestly cant stand how boring my Accord is. This is my daily driver, and life is too short to drive a boring car.

I can sell my accord ('03 EX fully loaded, 97k miles) for roughly $9k, and my '04 600rr for at LEAST $3k, netting me $12k.

I can find nice 2004 350z's with 45k miles all day long for $14k, meaning I'll only have to pay about $2k out of pocket.

What say you TWW?

might as well.

why not.

Yeah, your selling estimates seem conservative too. 3k is way low for that bike. If it's what you want, have at it. You can always sell the car and reverse the process if you regret it.

are they really only costing 9K now? a quick glance around ebay shows the lowest buy it now for one that isn't wrecked to be $8999 but the rest are all like $12K+

The 8999 one on ebay looks like shit and is the very bottom end. i wouldn't go for the very bottom end models.

My bike has a salvage title.

Otherwise, it's 100% mechanically in great shape. Previous owner bought from a police auction and wasnt given a title.


It's for sale:

I forgot I have a like new Frank Thomas leather armored jacket with a matching helmet. Also have an exact matching mesh version of this jacket, and a black mesh HONDA jacket.

Also have a set of pitbull front and rear stands.

As for the Accord, I'm basing my estimate according to what others are going for on Autotrader.com. KBB is quoting me about $8500, and they're going for about $10k on Autotrader. I'd love to get more towards the $10k side though. Just speculating here.

Umm...the weather is about to warm up, why not just wait it out until you can scare the shit out of yourself on your bike. Your thirst for speed should ease up until next winter.

Keep the bike for the summer like ^ said.

are you willing to have one vehicle with 2 seats and no space?

I have a Jeep Cherokee on 35's too....could drive that if I absolutely had to...

2/27/2009 8:46:56 AM

if you're gonna sell the bike next month is the time to do it..

personally at the very least I'd sell the accord and get something a little sportier..even if it's just a late 90's BMW or something..they're still nice as cars and not quite as plain as an accord.

if you don't have a problem with the two seater + limited storage space thing then go for a real sports car.. 350Z is one option, C5 is another.

is the accord your only car at the moment? Having a sports car as the main DD sucks sometimes. My buddy just got a mint 06 mustang gt for 14k with 30k miles on it. So that's in your price range if you like mustangs.

That sounds high for a 3 year old ford.
