maybe time for a new...

[CD5Passion]

well as some of you may know I wiil be moving out to california this coming november for 3 years of school. now don't get me wrong i love my car, and i have put much into it...but i think for the change in lifestyle I may be needing a newer and larger vehicle.
now my big question is...how much do you think I could get for my car as is. I did check kelly blue book and i figure no less than 2grand (at worst) may go to a dealer and see what they figure trade in value could be too
also as far as a new vehicle I'm thinking with photography being my major and the need to possibly haul equipment around a truck or a smaller suv would be a good idea. I've always liked the Toyota Tacoma (more the prerunner v6 but thats alittle pricey). has anyone heard anything about Tacomas (unbiased opinions please)
I'll also take suggestions :yes: (but I don't do american made:cool: )

any opinions and/or help would be fantastic:thumbsup:

edit* maybe I'll give some specs on my car as i may sell it
black 1996 Accord sedan EX VTEC
just under 140,000 miles
no problems mechanically, sometimes idles rough but i think it's the cold weather in the mornings
power everything (locks, mirrors, seat blah blah)
Hornet car Alarm
my component speakers could be better
not sure if i want to sell my subs and amp with car or seperatly
moonroof
cloth seats
red dash trim (could buy a new trim if needed)
am/fm radio (I'll hang onto my alpine unit thank you ^_^)
cant decide whether or not I'd sell the rims or sell them with the car
HP Racing Axle-Back exhaust
AEM short ram intake (could put stock intake back in)

Yeah I've driven a v6 tacoma before, seemed alright. :P

on second thought maybe not....i dont know..i love my car
my main problem is with the terrain of cali, my car shits low and the coilovers are just a pain, plus i think it lowered itself somehow
so i may just buy springs that set the car at something like 1.25" drop....

[ShEaNy]

keep the car....accords are roomy man....ur just lowww gota watch the roads..and y would u need a bigger vechile? what will u be hauling? i wouldnt sell that baby...unless it was to me:) :rolleyes:

[CD5Passion]

equipment and shit, but yeah i guess there's plenty of room..I'm just going to get new springs and raise it up

[KwikR6]

Dude your car is hot..I dno't think that I would get rid of it at this point in time. In all honesty the car is good on gas..it looks good...it's mech sound...there is a ton of room in those accords..I think I would keep it.

[RxGoaT13]

where in cali are you moving?

[ebpda9]

dude accords are awesome. keep that fucker

[Racing Rice]

Put the accord back to stock and roll it.. Tacos are nice, but sometimes it's better having a four door then a truck.

With that said... I really like the new Frontiers! It would be a toss up because a Taco and a Frontier for me. I want a 4x4, but can't bring myself to wanting the payments that go along with them.

I wish I could find a nice low mileage Nissan hardbody 4x4. I love those.:yes:

[Mischief]

Keep your car dude! It's too sexy to give up.

If you are going to live in San Francisco, where I live, you better fix that bitch back up. My Teg is lowered about 1.4 inches, pretty low compared to most other lowered vehicles, but my front lip just takes a beating (lucky its urethane).

[MissJDM]

I like the accord..because it's teh hotness.
However, for a larger vehicle, I'd opt for a 4runner. You can still get a mid-high 90s for decent prices.

I'm moving to Santa Barbara cali
but i decided that I'm going to just raise my car back up on nuespeed sports (1.25 drop) and not touch her again (or so i saw)
thanks for everyone's input, i appreciate it

[ebpda9]

dude if you sell the accord i am gonna drive down there and kick your ass till you buy it back.

[Violent Apathy]

[ebpda9]
