I had sold my 05 with 140k last May and I bought a demo 16 Accord Touring. I wanted something that had a warranty, was sporty along with the latest tech. I really liked it, but I've regretted the decision. I like how the Accord handled, power was solid - but it's such a rough and loud car in comparison. Soo.. my wife's car was getting up there and she agreed to assume the Accord (she's a great lady) when I found the right LS430. After looking for several weeks, I lucked out with an 06 in my area with only 59k on the clock. It's a non-nav, non-ML, non-smart access car, but it does have parking sensors (oddly). I was looking for a non-nav car so I could put in my own system, but I would have like to find one with the smart access system. Low miles trumped the key, so after driving it multiple times, pouring over the maint. history, I bought it yesterday.
unusual no smart key. does in have the button under the dash to turn smart access on and off? did it come with multiple keys? and how much did you pay if you don't mind telling? she is a beauty
edit: p.s. looks like you're missing the rear left door cap....I am missing two of them and have hesitated on ordering replacements....they're almost $30 ea discount....
p.p.s. this is my rear right cap....you would look for yours and match up the paint code...in my case moonlight pearl is 072......
I thought that the car wash knocked two of them off my car, until I saw a pic of my car before I even bought it, and one was already gone! They probably knocked off 1, the driver key hole....I mentioned it the next time I was there, and the owner was so nice he gave me a $50 gift card for the trouble....
edit I found the instructions to install the aftermarket chrome set. Apparently there is 3M tape inside? Maybe I should buy the set for $40 as it's a 10 piece set, but chrome.....
Great find! Best color combo IMO. I probably would have jumped on it as well but to me the non-Nav would have almost been a deal breaker for me. I wanted the back up camera.
I need to see if I can remove the silver facia from the part and glue/adhesive/whatever it to the existing part. I really don't want to take the door apart to replace the entire part.
I'll snap a few pics this evening to show you what it looks like, and maybe get some suggestions as well/
When my '04 got totaled, I thought about getting a 2010+ Accord Coupe with manual trans. I never drove one because they are hard to find but between driving a '97 Accord the other day (got it as a loaner while my Lexus was serviced) and your comment, I know I made the better choice to stick with the LS.
You made the right choice. I pretty much kicked myself from day one of owning the Accord - and the Accord was/is a very nice car, that my wife is now enjoying.
When the new Accord comes out, I hope it still comes in a stick. It's pretty much going to be the reigning champ as far as most consecutive years on the C&D 10 Best list. I think more years than the number of times the Canadiens have won Stanley Cups.
disclaimer: I have never owned a Honda or Honda product in my life (maybe it's time I got with the program lol)
