Both about the same. But finding an Accord or Maxima in good condition will outweigh any price differences inbetween the two. So spend a bit more on a good conditioned car vs the cheapest pos and then worry about the parts costs.

maxima=v6; multi-link beam
accord=i4; double wishbone suspension

its your choice. which is more important: power or handling.

I don't think the two cars cost the same on the used market. For a 1998, Maxima is closer in price to the Civic. A 4 cyl accord is a good 700 more, a 6 cyl accord is a good 1400 more. That's what they call resale value--the 4 cyl Accord cost less than the Maxima when new. The 2005 Maxima currently has a $1000 rebate, so expect this situation to continue well beyond 2013.

Hondas have really good "resale value" otherwise known as they cost way too much used.
