Congratulations. Did you get four or six cylinder? Manual or automatic?

I paid just under $22K in Ventura, CA and I felt this was discounted enough to make the '04 worth it rather than wait for the '05. This vehicle replaces a '97 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so it is night and day from this. I decided on the Accord for the price, mileage, reliability, appointments, and less complexity than the Acura... Al

I am considering buying a 2004 Honda Accord or an Accura. Can someone
please give me some guidance as to why buy one vs the other besides that
the Accura is a couple of thousand dollars higher in price. I am leaning towards
the Accord because it is simpler and has higher mileage. On the other hand the Accura has traction control and stability control, but these features mean more
complexity. Please give me your thoughts... Al

Poor decision on their part. I would still take them over Chrysler any day.
