After many years of hoopdie cars..I'm going to get a new one...that last 400 dollar radiator did me in on my little car...and with a soon to be 2xxlb 6 foot tall son and a BF its time to get a larger nicer car....I've been driving a 87 crx...so I need more room!
Hondas are my first choice...
I narrowed it to the 2012 EXL 2.4 i owned a 01 with leather and dang it I want that again...moonroof I can do without..but I like the alloy wheels and it does get decent gas mileage
Found one at the dealer with 62xx miles..they wanted 25909..also comes with 100000 honda certified warranty.
Kbb trade in is 21818..,no problems with carfax..and it was sold originally by this dealer and stayed pretty much in this area its been at dealer for about a month...
I have financing at 4.73 with 84 months if over 20000 dollars..I am going to look into refinancing in the future at lower rate. I also get 90 day delay on first payment...
I also average 7000 mi a year..I've been renting cars for out of town trips..family is about 5 hr drive...I see them about 3 to 4 times a year...but I'm thinking more now with newer wheels!
I am ready for pros and cons! I am planning on running this to 200000 miles or more!
Oh and where is the car advice thread? I need to rehearse and get ready to deal with dealer...

Have you looked at a Hyundai Sonata
"With last year's family-sedan pick, the Nissan Altima, due for a redesign soon, we chose the four-cylinder Sonata as a more affordable alternative to the Camry Hybrid. For less than $22,000, the Sonata provides a roomy, well-equipped cabin, supple ride, nimble handling, and thrifty 27 mpg overall. And despite its swoopy, coupelike styling, the Sonata still provides decent rear-seat room and rear visibility, unlike many other cars today." Price: $21,800.
It's in your price range and got great reviews from CR. For your kind of money, you have options outside the Honda.
Subaru Impreza and Hyundai Sonata to start.
I would make sure you qualify for their low interest at Honda before you purchase. If you're concerned I would look at qualifying for a loan at your bank or credit union first. Penfed has loans for used cars around 1.49%
