03 EX-L or 05 LX Please Help!
I need help deciding which car is the better buy. A 2003 Accord EX-L with 112k miles or a 2005 Accord LX with 97k miles. Both are $7000 and from dealers (non honda). I need to make a purchase asap so any advice would be welcome before vehicles are gone. Thank you!

9-years-old vs. 11-years-old.
Both kinda sorta around 100k miles.
Not enough information.
If it were me, I'd decide based on the actual condition of each car, because the age & mileage are close enough. Factor in the maintenance records (complete vs. incomplete).
Both the same engines? If one was 4-cyl & the other was V-6 then that would sway my decision.

Thanks for replying Jim. Both cars have the 4 cylinder. Neither has complete records but both show a clean car fax. The 05 came with head curtain air bags standard in the back and the 03 did not offer this. Are both a good deal or should I pass because of lack of maintenance records? thanks!

not 100% sure so check with someone else but from what i remember the 03-04 models with the 5 speed auto had overheating issues with the transmission. They were fixed though by the dealers I think so make sure it was fixed. The 05 was fixed from the factory and didnt have the same rate of transmission failures. I see that you would like the luxury and features of the ex-l over the lx though. It really depends on which is in better overall condition and if the transmission what fixed on the 03( should be if it has gone 112k)
