Well i sold my honda accord 92' with 200k miles on the body/frame and 150k miles on the engine for 2k it had some major brake issues. it had some very minor rust as well. Well i was wondering if i got screwed and if there is someone that knows values of cars and such to help me find another good car.

Honda's are in high demand and people are paying a lot of money for them. I'd say you didn't get screwed but depends on what area you live in and if the car was completely stock.

New car tip.. don't buy another Honda

Acura ftw

I bought a '92 honda accord earlier this year with no rust or anything like that and 112k miles for 2.5k, so I'd say you weren't screwed. Brake issues and 200k miles isn't a car I'd be willing to pay anywhere near a high amount for so I'm not sure how good a selling position you really had anyway.

Considering I nearly got a Honda Civic Del Sol for 2.8k from a used car lot, with a decent share of problems, I'd say this was more than fair.

As long as you don't live in texas, arizona, new mexico, or mexico, you did well.

Any car with a working air conditioner in the places mentioned are worth their base value + 2k.

Yea, $2k is good.

I've been looking at used cars and I'd never pay $2k for 150k miles + brake problems + a broken a/c.

I'd say the other guy got screwed over.

Go to car auctions. Get an old cop car.

You forgot Florida. It's the sundeathburn state.

I say go for an Acura like everyone else is saying.

Check KBB.com...

Anyway, a 200k 92 Honda with major break issues, body damage and rust going for 2k is a good deal on your part. Don't trip.

okay...well the guy gets the loan tomorrow, and now i am in search of a car. I have a friend willing to part with a Jeep Grand Cherokee 99' for 2k. Does anyone have one? Do you like it?

I had a 98. The 4x4 version was amazing, never broke down or anything till we sold it about 7? years ago. The 2x4 one wasnt very good.

Its always fun to go offroading. Also, if you can drive a stk, look for stk cars. They can drive down the price of a car. Thats one of reasons I got a good deal on my car.

Yeah, Grand Cherokees are nice. I test drove one when my mother was looking for a new car.
