Its her money, let her spend it the way she wants, for good or bad.

Her skills are seducing and manipulating men, not making prudent fiscal decisions
Kayden Russell
Umm are you crazy? 2018 is a new generation. They aren't the same car. I think I found the normie.
Jaxson Thompson
Yeah, i keep quiet when she trades them in every 7 months for the newest model year. I wonder how much she's lost in depreciation and trade-ins in the past few years.
Michael Ross
naybe you should just brutally fuck her, that’ll straighten her brain right up
Austin Perez
That's not a bad lil brapper in that stock photo
Adam Scott
It's a Honda that fell within her price range, that's all that mattered. Literally no idea what kind of engine it has, what features it has, the difference in trim levels, etc. She didn't even test drive them or sit in them. They were shown to us on the lot, and that's it.
Ryan Parker
I work for a Honda dealer, the 18 Accord is redesigned and has new powertrains for the 18MY, the 17 Accord was on an aging but proven platform, for the 6k difference the 18 is definitely a lot of value considering how improved it is.
Jason Bennett
This.
OP is the real normie here
Cooper King
Also, the 17 Accord resale value is dragged down cause it dates back to MY as early as 13. Dealers are blowing any they have out but at this point they're basically used cars with ultra-low mileage, lot related damage, test drives (or lack thereof), etc takes it's toll on these cars when they sit on the lot.
I've worked in the luxury segment and they take better care of their inventory, but most Honda dealers sure don't... Most dealer trades we receive already are damaged, repairable minor cosmetic flaws but still nonetheless.
At the end of the day it's just an Accord, but it's actually quite a nice car for the segment when equipped with Touring package and 2.0T engine with the 10 speed auto over the CVT and the 1.5. They are pricey though and there's more appealing options in the used market to me with that kind of money.
Jonathan Robinson
I can tell you work for a dealer because you make the 17 seem inferior to the 18 model but at the same time you make both seem to be a great value
Oliver Evans
>the 18 is definitely a lot of value considering how improved it is >no more V6
you get a turbo 4 and a 8 speed transmission instead. Better fuel efficiency, same 0-60, quieter on the highway.
Benjamin Wilson
the 2.0T with 10 speed auto is always in the right gear and in sport mode holds the car in boost and has power on demand, no lag or gear hunting
The 3.5 with 6AT was a good loafer and impressive in it's early days, but the reality is it's days are numbered.
I would be very interested in a clean low mileage Accord HFP package coupe with the 3.5 and 6MT though. It's a proper LSD and good set of tires/brakes away from being a good car.
Kevin Walker
Not going to lie, I'm a hatchback/wagon person but the current Accord is going to get a test drive when I buy a new car in September.
William Diaz
For a comfortable DD sedan it really is quite good especially for what the lower spec models are priced at given the standard features.
I'm always weary of first model year of a redesign or new platform, as for the car itself it is a major step in the right direction in nearly every aspect.
Austin Young
>better fuel efficiency Testing shows otherwise >same 0-60 Seems unlikely given the near 100 hp difference between the 2.0 and 3.5. Even if it's true, there's more to power than 0-60 times. >quieter on the highway The absolute state of Hondafags.
>the 2.0T with 10 speed auto is always in the right gear and in sport mode holds the car in boost and has power on demand, no lag or gear hunting Except the car is programmed for mandatory upshifts at 5750 rpm, 750 rpm before stated peak power.
Caleb Parker
The 2018 Accord was the first car where Honda brought back physical buttons to control the radio volume. It's clear that Honda is learning from their mistakes. And their dedication to keep the sweet short-throw 6 speed manual available at every trim is a signal that they're wanting to go back to their roots as a car manufacturer focused on driver enjoyment. Honda went too far into the "sterile, safe, reliable, boring" designs to the extent they became the new Toyota.
Every auto publication is praising the Accord as the second coming of Jesus, and while it's not that exactly, it's a sign he's on his way.
Jeremiah Brown
You act like this is a bad thing.
Angel Russell
if I was a normie i'd just shop at carmax... nobody listens when i suggest it though. even just to get a quote for their trade.
Angel Cruz
>Seems unlikely given the near 100 hp difference between the 2.0 and 3.5 The 3.5L v6 was 278 HP. The 2.0L turbo is 252 HP.
>The absolute state of Hondafags. It's a fucking family sedan. It's meant to be a comfy highway cruiser. Quiet interior is literally its purpose.
Gavin Peterson
Have you driven both? If the 10 AT vs the 6 AT isn't enough to compensate for the power gap the 2.0T won't be hard to squeeze more out of you desire
Now the 3.5 with 6 MT is a different story.
Dominic Long
2018 is completely new brainlet >dat 2.0 turbo It's faster than the v6. Low 14s in the 1/4 for a family sedan
i was thinking the same thing, for a second i gave him benefit of the doubt thinking this gen was 2019.
nope, OP is geniuinely retarded. i dont blame her sister, and feel bad for being stuck with a retard.
Luis Gutierrez
The CRV and Fit have tiny afterthought volume knobs now. No lie, I ruled out buying a Civic Hatchback based on the touch screen, and how stupid they made dimming the guages.
Christopher Rogers
>implying a normie woman would see the difference between these two cars yeah right
James Stewart
There was a model update in 2018. New chassis, new motor.
Not the same car, user.
Angel Baker
>didn't get a camry
Jason Martin
Yeah, this. I feel you on needing top trip, new, price, etc etc, but the 2018 is legitimately not the same car as the 2017.
Now you know that your sister is a shallow cunt. >asks you to come along and waste your time for her >doesnt even care about your advice >she just didnt want to do it herself
Blake Kelly
shes just a girl though she needs people she trusts to ward off faggots
Jaxon Russell
Get her the one with the highest maintenance costs.
