I’m thinking about checking out this car in person. It’s at a dealership, and the ad was posted today. The car has a clean title, but I don’t have the Carfax yet. I’ve asked to see it.

$12k for a less than 10 year old V6 Accord with less than 85,000 miles is an absolute steal in my book. Couldn’t do any better for a first car.
Like if that showed up at my dealership for that price, with that trim package and interior color, I’d have a hard time staying away from the finance department. It’s a desirable, fast, and reliable motor and the automatic transmission is okay too (not CVT).

Haha, I should push to see it before it gets sold then! This dealership is reputable as well. I’ll just make sure to see the carfax before purchasing. Thanks again!

The pictures look good, the mileage is below average, and the price is more than reasonable especially considering it is from a Honda dealership. Even though the mileage is low I would plan on having the timing belt service done (belt, water pump, tensioner) soon because the car is 10+ years old. Install a VCM disabler, refresh the ATF every 40-65K km, and it’s ready for another 10 years.
It’s definitely not a USDM Accord Touring, it’s missing the radar sensor in the lower grille. According to the wheels, it’s a CADM Accord Touring as the US model didn’t get those wheels in that finish.
I own a 2014 EX-L V6 which is the same car minus a few gadgets. Last week a truck drove down the street and sideswiped it and messed up both doors and the pillar. It’s in the shop and I’m begging the collision guy not to declare it a loss. I want this car back. I love this car.
That said. I bought mine for $17k in 2020 at 44k kms. I know the used car market is messed right now, but maybe try to talk the price down a little.
Beautiful car. I’m not a fan of the 6-speed transmission. I live where summer heat is extreme. Added a transmission cooler and switched to a compatible full synthetic ATF.
