Talking Finally Got A New Car

Well, I didn't buy it, I'm leasing it, but I still got it.

Had my 1990 LS400 for 2 years (would've been exactly on Sept 2nd), and it was time for something newer, much newer.

So, I got me a 2012 Honda Accord SE. Silver exterior, Black interior.

Honda has a Lease special for the Accord LX, but the deal I got is much better.

I only plan to tint the windows, which I hope to do sometime next month.

Anyway, I'll post photo's sometime tomorrow.

I took advantage of the 0.9% financing and got a Odyssey to replace the RX. RX is great but the nothing beats a minivan for hauling kids around! I got the touring model so it has insane amount of goodies

Honda got some crazy deals to push their 12' products out of the door right now. Mu buddy just leased a new Odyssey with 0 down and 350 a month!

Congratulations. After I saw the new 2012 Civic and its cost-cutting, I agree that the Accord is still a much better choice.

I only plan to tint the windows, which I hope to do sometime next month.
Before you actually do any aftermarket tint on your windows, be sure to check out state law on the tint percentage. Some cops actually carry around "tint-meters" with them.

Moses_2.0,

Congrats on the new car!

What I want to know is, does a 22 years newer Accord feels better to drive then the best car in the world? (LS400)

I guess it would be since the LS400 is 22 years old, all worn out. New to new though, I don't think the latest Accord can beat a 1990 LS400 in driving feel and refinement.
