Why are you negotiating if you don't think it's worth it?

What do you mean holding their value? That car is 5 years old and was bought new for $24k-30k probably? So its down 50-66%? How much do you expect to freaking pay for a 5 year old car that sold for $25k?

I'd say that a used Honda is a good starter car for a new driver. With that mileage It's still good for a long time.

Doesn't sound bad but how much are you willing to spend?

I'm going to drive it, not frick it. Mechanical reliability means more than how it looks to me.

Yeah that's a pretty good buy if it's in good shape.

We have a 2013 model. The problem is road noise and the abhorrent paint/finish quality. The engine, ride, handling, and fuel efficiency are top notch.
