Default New or Used?

I'm looking to buy a 7th gen accord, but unsure if i should get used or new. I have been driving accords all my life so i know all the differences between LX and EX, but my dilemma is i want an EX but can only afford a used EX, if i get new, it has to be an LX. Any suggestions or advice with past experiences with 7th gen owners etc.? thanks

used, always buy a car used...it is one of the worst investments because in 4 years, the amount that the car is worth cuts in half.

Don't get suckered in to the new car thing...I did and have always regretted not buying a slightly used certfied used EX model. Get EX with leather and navi! Remember that certified used gets a 100k mile warranty, which is about a $1500 option on new Hondas.

I got my Certified EX in December of 01. If you know what to look for when purchasing a used car and are given the "Certified" status, it's a worthy investment.

A stock EX is well worth it. Upgraded rims, leather, moonroof, upgraded audio ... all :thumbup:

Now, if you were going to change your rims, get racing seats, and change the radio, I'd think about getting the new LX.

I just want to keep it stock. Now new question, what kind of a deal is this for a 03 EX with spoiler for 17,772 plus fees certified used with 34,000 miles. thanks for all your input.
