Default I Bought A 2005 Honda Accord Coupe

after spending months and months.......I was actually looking for a VW Jetta but I had been driving 1996 Honda Accordfor 7 years.

But I really got a awesome deal.

2005 Honda Accord Coupe, Black exterior, Alloy wheels, tinted windows for $12,500
Miles: 39,400 approximately when bought


Carfax shows Clean Title, no problems at all.
2 owners: one for 1 year 2 months and the other for 3 months.

no maintenece records though. although Carfax shows some records on there

What about oil change? There is no way to tell when the last oil change was even though I did one anyway when I bought it.

Also I am not sure if this a EX or LX, how can I tell? carfax shows EX but my insurance company shows LX

That sure is a deal for 05. Did you buy it from a private seller?

Sounds like a truly great deal, I bought my demo unit 05 EXL coupe for C$30,500 here in Edmonton and I thought that was good then. Hope you will enjoy it.

park and sell lot.

my bro's best friend who has known him for 30 years sold the car to me.

we got a mechanic to check the car out, no problems, except front bad routers, we got that replaced, no charge for me and 4 brand new tires too.

I bought it last September with only 5000Km on it and it is fully loaded with leather. They wanted $35,500 for a brand new unit then. Looking at the US sites, cars are definitely a lot cheaper and with the current currency exchange rate....folks here are importing cars like never before. It only makes sense.

run a vin check on it is about the easiest way.... also, I think that the ex and lx models had a different motor so figure out what engine you have and that should help you, unless you have the V6.... If it's a 4cyl then it's an LX

the vin check shows EX on it. but my insurance company shows LX. So is my car really covered? Because the VIN number they have matches the car stickers. its a 4 cylinder.
so why does a vin check shows EX on car fax?
