we were originally going to buy an 07 camry SE. i went to the dealer last wed and they offered me $4800 for my Jeep. the total for the camry and the neg equity in my jeep they wanted to charge me $31,000. i walked out and they didnt even call me back. so i went to the honda place yesterday and 4 hours later we walked out with a new car

i was only going to buy a toyota or camry b/c american sedans are so crappy when you compare them to the imports. i have seen VERY FEW american cars run over 200k with the stock engine and tranny. i am hoping to get at least 250k on this car before we have any major problems.

My parents have a 2003 Accord 4cyl that they bought new a few years back and my sis has a '07 Camry 4cyl she just got a few months ago. They are both equally awesome but i prefer the interior of the camry alot more. Its a bit more futuristic, but both cars have been nothing but good to us. The Accord is at about 103k miles already and not a single issue. Gotta love reliability....... But they can't piss off the neighborhood like i can :SNSign:

we did have some negative equity in out 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but the tranny was on its last legs ( i was scared it wouldnt make it to the dealer) and i didnt want to replace it so we traded it in and only lost $2000.

You paid waaaaay too much for your new car. That Honda is not worth anymore than $19,000 to $20,000 at the most. I purchased a BRAND NEW fully loaded 97 Toyota Camry for ONLY $18,999 and I thought that $18,999 was too much for a Camry. And now you just purchased a brand new Honda Accord which is worth what I paid for my fully loaded 97 Camry brand new. It's too bad that you had to add another $2,000 debt to your new car loan. But hey, you got a brand new car. Good luck on paying a $500 to $600 monthly car payment for the next 5 to 6 years. That's a LOT of money for an American built Honda Accord that looks like an oversized Civic. I'm sorry but it doesn't look like a Honda Accord. It's got the exact looks of the Civic.
