Wasn't too bad...guy just wanted to get rid of it. I think it had under 30k miles, and was actually $29k.

I really want one.

-Cheap
-Technically, it's my parent's car, but the car I drive all the time, so my dad bought it
-Was given a clean bill of health by our most trusted mechanic for the past 10 years
-It was a 4cyl, 5spd Honda Accord with 140,000 miles for $3200 in great shape
-We knew it would last for awhile
