Buying Dilemma

Hi,
I have 2 choices

2005 Accord LX I4 with about 51K miles - 10,500/-

2005 Camry SE I4 with about 54K miles - 12,000/-

I have a 2003 Camry LE and the other one is gonna be an addition to the stable.

I love my camry, but somehow I feel I should go for the accord this time around. Both cars are in decent conditions with verifiable records.

Any opinions are appreciated.

Thanks...

You already have one camry so you know what its like. But the camry is an SE so that a + over the accord. I myself have the 04 accord coupe Ex and compared to the camry I4 (gen 5+6) i like the 2az much better than the k24. Both are great cars, just in your case the accord will be the base model.

Up to you, maybe you should get the accord and get something different and save some $.

You're asking in a Toyota forum, so I think you know the answer already...







Get the Accord!!!


I'm kidding!!!


Accords are known to have really bad rattles, well, most Honda vehicles do anyway.

I think Thoots used to have the same generation Accord, and it was horrible.

Now..really.......is there even a choice in the matter?

I only see ONE car worth buying out ofthe two you listed.......CAMRY SE!

This is where my blunt and honesty comes in.......i HATE Honda...and i disowned my sister for a month when she bought her 07 Accord.

Its an I4 auto.

Wow, I was not aware the accord had such bad rattles, when I drove this one, it seemed almost the same maybe not as quite as my camry though.

But I believe the general consensus is to go for the camry.

Thanks guys. I will reconsider my stand.

Nissan Altima or Maxima

they are both good and reliable, just choose which one is worth the money, cheap or not, whichever benefits you most and has potential if you decide to mod it
