What do you guys/gals think of a 2001 Honda Accord V6 EX 2dr Coupe with 90,000 miles for $11,000.

With paying the 11,000, the car will come lowered with ground control coil overs, 19" Racing Hart wheels (black with a chrome lip), brand new 19" tires, NOS 100 shot w/ purge kit (will take out), AEM C.A.I., full - real - Street Fyghter front bumper with black widow sides and rear, halogen headlights, Panasonic MP3/WMA player, all new speakers (no system, will use mine), smoked out windows. White car with tan leather interior. Everything is visually perfect. They guy is one of my good friends.

90k is an awful lot for a car that has nitrous. Makes you wonder how many times it has been run through the engine, and if it has been tuned to handle it, etc. I wouldn't want to buy any car that has used nitrous unless I had records of it being tuned properly: too much risk for serious engine damage in the near future.

He go the nitrous installed last week. So it hasen't been used much at all. He really likes to purge it not really use it.

Sounds like a line of bs. Never buy a car with nitrous installed. There is NO way to tell how it was used.

i would buy that car so faaast as long as you can look at the reciepts of when the nitrous was purchasted and if he had it installted get the reciepts for it then you can tell when it was installted if the story checks out buy it but 100 shot is a big shot o nos

No chance in hell for that price with that many miles. The nitrous only makes it less appealing since, as has been stated, there's no way of knowing if it's ever been used and, if it's been used, how well the guy knew how to use it.

Not only was the nitrous installed, he's using a 100 shot, which is pretty heavy for that engine. I'd steer clear of this "deal"

Thanks for all the input. I'm thinking I'm just going to keep the car I have now - especially seeing how gas prices are rising. I get 38-42 MPG. I'm not worried one bit about gas right now. I need to go ahead and finish this car out, I've already taken it this far - why not?

V6 is good and more power than banger 4. I don't care about heavy. It good to ride.
