So, its been about 6 months into the ownership of my Maxima. After dealing with a lot of issues with my Maxima, I've decided to put it up for sale. I chose a 2014 Accord Sport for my next ride. I am really blown away by how nice this Honda is.

This is the first new car I've ever purchased and I've enjoyed it a lot in the last few days I've had it.

It is Modern Steel Metallic. Had 4 miles on it when I took delivery of it. Here are some pictures of the new ride.

 

Really nice car

 

Wow big change was gonna say why spend that much money but when you geta top of line like your accord they do look good!

 

Congrats on the new pick up! My friend has the 6 speed coupe version, surprisingly quick car. Interior is marvelous

 

I think Honda really surprised everyone with how good this new generation of Accords look. Congrats on the pick up. Any plans for it?

 

Thank you!

Well this one isn't top of the line that would be an EX-L. Didnt need leather since its freezing up here and don't care for the sunroof and push to start.

However it does have dual exhausts, paddle shifters, and 18's which I like a lot more than any of the options offered on higher trims.

Yeah those only come with a v6. Those cars are awesomely fast. The 6mt 4 banger sedan is no joke either. it runs 6.9. The cvt I have is marginally slower but oh so smooth. Love it. Its better than the altima cvt

Yeah loved this 9th gen more than any other mid size sedan available now.

As for plans, nothing to crazy yet. I bought this to get me through college reliably unlike the Maxima. Maybe just a viper alarm/autostart and some tint.


Quick picture of my 2 driveway queens

 

Very nice! From the side it looks a little like a BMW but the front look like a Corolla, kind of a interesting mix but a good looking one for sure!

 

Wow nice pickup dude!

Hope to see you around some time

 

Cant be too many Saabs in the area, I think I saw your ride on Western Ave ?

Ive had people ask if it was a 3 series, my reply " No its just a silly Honduh". Don't see the front looking like a Corolla at all.

 

Very sharp car! Love the new gen styling.

 

HUNH???? how the heck does a college kid afford 2 cars and 1 new??? unless your like 42 and are just getting your masters??

 

Wouldn't you like to know ?

Im not 42 I'm 17 man. Money is out there to be made and spent contrary to what people are believe.

 

You probably did, I live just off Western in Guilderland....and I will be a little longer, the house fell through.

 

now i know, thanks

 

Props and I agree, it's there. Work smart & hard

 

Dude you are literally 2 mins away from me and in the same boat. The house we were planning on buying was on Washington. Someone outbid us last minute. Still on the lookout for a nice place.

 

So I sold my beautiful 4th gen today. I will miss the rawness and creature comforts of that car. But atleast it went to a good home.

Took a Quick Pic of her next to my Accord.

 

Ah man, I feel a bit sad reading that :'(

 

I feel even worse.

 

Nice ride!! my bro-inlaw is president of a honda dealership (for 20 yrs) and because of this i have gotten close to a master honda tech, hes the one the stealership sends out to the honda schools..etc. etc. every so often...but anyway if thats a auto make sure u keep up with the maint.! he tells me the honda dont hold up ike the ones in the 90's did...hes says hes seen countless autos crapping out with just ova 100k....so keep up with it!!
nice ride..i allways liked hondas...

 

Yeah, its a CVT trans, the fluid has to be changed out every 25k.

But gotdamn this tranny is smooth

 

It's called Mommy and Daddy.

That's just what people are going to assume, unless you answer the question. If that's not the case, shouldn't you be more proud of HOW you make money, than WHAT you buy? And on that note, if you can afford a brand new Honda Accord at the ripe age of 17, then why are you even bothering wasting prime money making years going to college?

Of course if you sell drugs, that would be another reason to keep it a secret.

 

No drugs lol, but for curious minds :

Well for starter's it doesn't really matter to me what people think. I've worked every day since I was 14 (well paying job too), saved up nearly 90% of my paycheck and stashed it in the bank. Got a pretty good academic scholarship for Uni and got an even better job now that provides the rest of my tuition and I have enough for my monthly payment.

To an extent mommy and daddy do have a role, because throughout the years, housing ,food etc were provided.

EDIT: Why am I going to college? So I can further my education and one day attain a job that makes me even more money and instead of driving average family sedans I'll be driving GTR's and Ferrari's.

 

Ditto

 

Good on ya man. I wish I was a lot smarter with my money when I was your age. That attitude will take you pretty far. Nice score on the Accord too!

S

 

your only 17 man, they've always paid for everything dude. be real, not sayin you don't work and did'nt save your money, but you would'nt been able to save w/o them footing everything else enabling you to put away your money. i worked 5 jobs when i was your age and bought a corvette at 18, i had help along the way too. inheritance did'nt hurt either

 

Never said door weren't opened for me, but your right I did have help from my parents. You went from a vette to a max ? Lemme guess, 12 mpg's didnt help

 

nope and my insurance was like 390.00 a month. o, and that vette was like my 2nd car. i've had like 7 more cars since then. nothing worth mentioning either.

 

Thats not even that rough. When I lived in NYC I paid 300 a month for my 4th gen

 

Ha, and now you drive a maxima? I would have stuck with the vette! C4 gen?

 

Meh, my cousin had a c4, hardly worth it. I believe he had a LT1 in it and there was always something going wrong with the car. He said that He would be lucky to avg 11mpg.

However when that clutch dropped, and I peeled out the fat rear tires, it made sense for those few seconds.

 

Got some Weather Tech Mats, and installed DDM 5000k HID's and some LED panels that were supposed to go in the ol' 4th gen

 

Those mats are good but cost a bit of money.

 

Yeah, theyre steep. nearly $200 shipped but I got em for $160 shipped on Black Friday

 

Cool, haha

But yeah, I don't know why. But that is what popped into my mind.

And danngg, you are 17 and you can afford a new car? Very nice!

 

I recently sold my 00 Max for and accord too!! I got the 08 v6 coupe.

We are twins, I just put in 5000k DDMTUNING HiDs also! Haha you have good taste bro!

I also have LED DRLs installed.

 

Nice! Is your's a 6 speed? I wish I wouldve got the 4500k from DDM, the ones I have now are a little too bright.

I was looking into a 8th gen before I realized I could swing a 9th gen, it was an 09 EXL Coupe 5 speed, 80k miles for like 6500 but it was a salvaged car so I didn't pursue it. I think the 9th gen sedans look a lot better than the 8th gen sedans but with the coupes it's vice versa. The 8th gen looks so much more classier.
