    Nice ride! 🙂 I bought the 2007 EXL V6 Sedan last year with 255,000kms and it still runs smooth💪🏼 Same colour. Love this car. Oil change every 5k kms and rust proof every year. I'm way up north in Canada☝🏼

    I have a 2007 V6 sedan with a manual. I think they only produced these in 06-07. we've got a pretty rare vehicle! we probably have the only two good condition, low mileage ones in the US. ever time I see one it has like 200k miles on it. I bought mine 7 months ago with 101,000 miles, and I have put 7000 miles on it since. love it.

      @@whitneythe6thgenaccord680 they sold about 780,000 accords during those two years. assume 80% were sedans, 35% of that 80% were v6's, and 3% of those were manuals. so based on my terrible math skills, that's not too many. haha. I love mine to death as well. fun, reliable, good gas mileage, and cheap to maintain.

    definitely a cool honda, I know the autos paired with the v6 accord models have always had issues but a manual would be sweet for these little engines. If only honda made the v6 with a DOHC too

    it is a really sweet car. I know how you feel about the rust worries. I got a 335i recently that spent some of its life in Minnesota and then Florida and it has some underbody rust on it as well that made me super worried when I was first notified of it from an inspection. I recently had a bilstein b14 lowering kit put on it and swapped out old hardware for new on it. If I was you, I would see if I could replace those nuts and bolts that are under the hood that are rusting. Wish you good luck with it. It's sharp!
