Congrats on the new car!! Enjoy!!
My dad used to drive a Honda Accord - he loved that car. My folks got burned on American cars one too many times, but the Japanese know how to build cars
You're right, dealers never give you the $ you could get selling your car privately - but it's a trade-off - is the extra few hundred dollars worth the hassle of advertising, taking people for test drives, etc? Stinks, though
