Not bad!, though still more than the $20/month for TV, net, and cellphone I pay.

So where is "here". Please post your location in your details.

Central wisconsin.

A lot of people post cars for huge amounts around here but then like me get frustrated when people can't pony up more than $500-$1000, only way to play around here would be to ebay or craigslist and hope someone from out of town buys it.

Locally there aren't any buyers.

Around here most cars sell WELL below KBB or nada because there simply aren't enough people with decent jobs to buy anything and those that do only buy new.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of people with decent jobs in California so things tend to be a bit more expensive over here so a direct comparison can't be made

How did you get that deal?

[rmay635703]

Simple

I get 15 channels off an antenna over the air (8 are hd)
My AT&T basic phone is $25 a month (Landline not even a cell)
All2easy internet is $4.99 a month

Long distance is 1.9c a minute but I use almost no long distance.

WiFI around here is free where I can get it. DVDs at the library are also free.

So if you are willing to make some rather small sacrifices

My 2002 mt had a slght encounter from the rear: no structural, but the bumper skin and a few other cosmetic items. It looked good to me, but, as Dandism said, someone who worked in body shop has higher standards.

It turns out that it is a GOOD THING he didn't buy it: IMA light went on, battery "crashed" in early December @89K miles. This battery was a dealer replacement in 2010, so I went back to see what they might do or offer. Discussions with American Honda resulted in them opening a case: the original purchase date was 10 years 9 months earlier by the first owner. It took about 1 1/2 weeks because of the holidays, etc but they offered to do a battery replacement for 10% out of pocket. That was a remarkabley generous offer, so now I have the "insectlike" commute car back, Shoebox pumping out some bass, and mpg on my crappy commute has gone from about 44 to about 50 with my lead foot.

I've used the dealer for some routine maintenance, and I think that having that business relationship helped get me this deal. Otherwise I would have: 1. Sold it to someone just before the battery crashed and felt bad about it, or 2. be trying to sell it now with the dead battery.
