$21,000 Xrs

I want to upgrade to the Honda Accord Coupe V6 EX-L 6-spd Man

My wife will not let me finance it without first selling my XRS, which i love dearly, but sacrifices must be made some times..

It is a stock 5-spd manual XRS. Just under 12,000 miles, mainly highway.
It comes with a 7yr 100,000 mile warranty from Toyota that will transfer to the new owner .
$21,000 flat. =)

May I ask why you wanna go for the accord? Are you looking for something that has better performance and sportier? If yes, go for something else...the accord will not perform as good as it looks.

thestone11 is right. if you want performance get the mazdaspeed3....costs about the same or less than the accord and has better performance + more room. there are other ones as well. accord is a nice car too but i think they are overpriced a bit unless u get a used one.

if you want a nice coupe with performance and good price at the same time. Can't go wrong with the new hyundai. I know I know...it is a hyundai..so...what you get is a 300hp, 6spd with LSD, rear wheel drive coupe with decent look to it, best part of all..very cheap horsepower.

there are tons that may interest you as well: Golf GTI, Mazdaspeed 3, used Mazdaspeed 6 (AWD 2.3L turbo with 263hp),Subaru WRX or used STI, Lancer Ralliart, used 350Z.

To me they are all better than accord and at the same price range. I have test drove one before I picked up my rolla.

If your planning on keeping the car in the long term don't go for Mazda. Reliability has been a issue with Mazda and many technicians I know recommended me Honda/Toyota. Parts for Mazda are more expensive than Honda/Toyota!!! Saw the Hyundai genesis on the street the other day, I was impressed to see that it looked like an exotic car!!!!

I have weighed the options, and it came down to either the Nissan 370Z or the Accord Coupe V6

still havent truly decided but i cant get either until i sell my XRS.

370Z no doubt....technology wise, performance wise, interior and exterior look. You won't go wrong with it between the two. At least 370Z is right wheel drive and the accord is wrong wheel drive...haha~!

Sport coupe (370Z) is just not equal to 2 door family car (accord coupe).....

I agree about performance and rear wheel drive, but i definitely prefer the Accord coupes exterior styling to the nissan, and also, i live in buffalo, ny, so front wheel drive really comes in handy during the winter

if you're in buffalo, try posting your car on kijiji.ca (the Toronto Site). I'm sure someone would snag it there. Up here in toronto a lot of people are using kijiji.ca to buy and sell things DIY.

should really consider all wheel drive then. Subaru WRX, Lancer Ralliart are both about the same price as the accord but way better performance and good for winter time.

That is the base Accord with the 4cylinder.
I would be getting the EX-L 6 spd man

I wouldn't be caught dead in a hideous Subaru
and I am to smart to buy another Mitsubishi *shudders*

i would have to agree with u on that about subaru. their designers dont have a good sense of aesthetics. kia and subaru are like related to one another LOL.
