This is a perfect car for running errands around town or getting to work! Also great starter car for high schooler or college student! My father bought this car for me in Minnesota in 2003, when I was in high school, and I drove it back and forth to school and sports practices. At that point, it had around 80,000 miles on it, and we were only the 2nd owners. After I left for college on the east coast in 2005, it was mostly garaged for four years -- pretty much only driven when a car was in the shop, someone needed an "extra," or when I was home for the summer. In 2009, I moved to south Texas and I have driven it here for the past four years. I moved to Austin in July, and it was stolen! (Ah, the popularity of mid '90s Honda Accords.) After two weeks, I purchased a new car, but after a few more weeks went by, the car was found! The only reason I am selling is that I already have the new car -- otherwise I would have driven this Accord until it died. When the car was recovered, I had to replace the ignition cylinder and the car stereo, but other than that, there was no damage. As a result, there are different keys for entry and for the ignition, but also a brand new stereo with an auxiliary input for an iPod, etc. The car has had regular oil changes every 3,000 miles and has always been very reliable. I have also done some other maintenance in the past two years (receipts available): new A/C condenser and radiator, new tires (2012), new battery (2012), and replaced driver side window motor. The interior is gray cloth, so it does have some coffee stains, but other than that looks fine. There are a few dents on the exterior and a crack in the bumper, but nothing major or requiring repair.
