Things just got more complicated. This Lux looks nice.

That one does seem to make more sense financially and is more of an "equal" to the Accord in terms of age and price, but with better features. Plus it sounded like the 2013s were pretty sporty?

I'd go with this in a heartbeat over the Accord, provided that everything checks out. Price is not bad given the miles. Absolutely love our 2013.

*edit* I'd swap out the front bumper and wheels from a F-Sport, but that's just me

That's a Luxury Model!
Very nice car if the Car Fax checks out for maintenance and free of major accidents.
Same model/year I had but mine was 4WD. @jgscott has this model/year if I am not mistaken.
Car was rock solid at 150K miles when I sold it last year.

@gs350noob you say complicated, I say lucky!

The GS is rare in your neck of the woods and this one has the Lux package in the ballpark of the price you'd want to pay. Its also a rare color combination - DIY Dan has the same color combo but with the premium package upgraded Niche Wheels and Borla exhaust: https://www.youtube.com/@DIYDanCars

You mentioned the Honda was going for $17k but this GS is just a few grand more w/Sport+, 18-way seats, etc. The right offer depends on the carfax/maintenance history and any reconditioning you might have to do, but i'm sure the seller expects to get offers in the $20k - $21k range.

Any chance you consider making a bid on this one?

Wow that last one is probably the deal. I too had to budget down but I really wanted a GS, mine (2013 AWD Lux, 117k mi) is not perfect in the body and paint. But it is still awesome. Price wise, this last one seems to be an even greater deal than the other two creampuffs. If the colors appeal and it inspects to your satisfaction, it really does seem that opportunity has knocked a few times for you! Time to answer!

Pete is correct. I reached an agreement with the Honda guy and he’s been honest and fair dealing with me., I’m not gonna back out.

Also, I honestly am really looking forward to getting my hands on the Honda. Say what you want, but that car is pretty solid, and I really am looking forward to driving a stick again, especially one with some oomph behind it.

No one can really decide what You like. That's personal decision and taste. I just hope you don't jump from the pot, to the fire, feeling like the FWD Accord is just a different Camry that you were not really happy with coming from a GS. My Daughter had that same Accord in a 2013 Coupe V6 Auto. I have driven that car quite a bit.

I would have not bought that last GS either. It was a 13 Lux and was nice with low miles but..... I hate that color personally. I could not live with it at all. How about a link to the Accord? Did miss it? Good Luck!

gs350noob

Lol I’m with you on the color of the GS and those wheels too.

tried to send link to the FB ad earlier but it didn’t work.

you can find it on FB marketplace in Honolulu. The black Accord Coupe for $19500

Those Lux wheels, what a PITA to clean. 22 spoke holes on each wheel. I got rid of them fast!

I just saw it. NICE! Same Accord we had, Blk/Blk too but 2013. lol!

gs350noob

Yup its in good condition. The clutch and shifter are a pleasure. I always found myself playing with the paddle shifters in the GS and even the Camry so I guess I'm just a manual sort of guy.

AJLex19

Oh man I really thought we were gonna see you in a 4GS this time around! Maybe one day if the right one shows up but good that you're sticking to the deal with someone who is being fair and honest with you. Congrats on the Honda as it's a rarity with the manual gearbox!

gs350noob

The manual was definitely a deciding factor for me. I drove a V6 Accord sedan with the auto box before I bought the Camry. That transmission was not pleasant.
