Red face Bought a new car! Selling the Camry... :(

So I bought a new car last Friday! A 2004 Honda Accord EX-L! It's graphite pearl in colour, 4 cyl but I got the 5 speed manual tranny...I'll be picking it up Wednesday!

You guys are probably wondering why I jumped over to the dark side. Well, my parents already have the Gen5 which I picked out for them so I already have a Camry in the family. I'm not too fond of the looks of the new Solara, and I need/prefer a big 4-door sedan. Lexus = $$$$$. The Accord interior was just so beautiful, I couldn't pass it up...moreso, I can finally experience iVTEC.... Plus it has like 8 airbags, ABS, and more importantly, a manual tranny!

I'll be selling my Camry very shortly, I'll be posting here in TN and in Autotrader.ca once I have some time to create a posting for it. I'm actually quite sad to see the Camry go, I've done so much to it over the last 4 years and it's in perfect condition. I'll still be here pretty much everyday until I get kicked off for spreading Honda propaganda...JK. To say the least, it's been fun!

That's all for now....

sorry to say but if i were to own an accord, i would rather get the previous gen, the new gen is like butt ugly in the front and back (way too big) but thats my opinion..... good luck with your new car i guess??

p.s. no offense intended

^ That's exactly what I thought when I was planning on getting a new car...it wasn't even a contender. But once I actually considered it, it just grew on me, and I don't think it's too bad looking at all. I got a spoiler and a front lip for it, so that should help on the looks department. As well, I'm slapping on my old rims on it, getting some light tints, that should make it stand out a bit.

Regardless, the interior is mint...I'm gonna take pics and post them down your throat...haha....jk

Die Honda boy!!! J/K.

They're ugly on the outside, but they are very nice on the inside. Good cars, almost as good as a Camry

J/K, enjoy.

Well we all move on at some point... Congrats on the new purchase, those Accords are hella nice cars if you like the look (personally I love the coupe, the sedan is ok but not as nice as the coupe). My buddy has an '03 V-6 and the interior on that thing is awesome.

Good luck

Steve

Remember hate the attitude, not the car... My iVTEC will pwn all of you.... j/k someone slap me.

I miss my Cam already, today will be the last day I drive it to work. I actually feel quite guilty for ditching it after it's been so reliable to me all these years. That 3VZ is just so torquey on the highway....

I figure, I sit in the car more than anything, so I'd rather have a nicer interior than anything else. And once you sit in this thing, man, it's just beautiful...LED dash lights, aluminum trim, even a freakin' tiny LED that shines on your shifter at night....

I considered the TSX, but I'm not paying $40G's for a freakin' super tuned 4 cyl...as well, it's a bit small. Same with the IS300, and honestly, I don't want RWD because of the winter. I guess by default, I had to buy the Accord.

And for all those vultures that have PM'd me, yes, I'll be parting out some stuff...I'll post a list in the Buy/Sell section later on this week. Heck, anyone wanna buy my car straightout!?

I'll post pics later....

UfoZ8myCow-Your panel is being shipped today...the delivery guy didn't have US slips, he couldn't ship it yesterday. I polished it a bit, it's in super mint condition man....it's so beautiful....
