We came across this 2000 Honda Accord LX in July 2023, listed by its owner in Northfield, Ohio, south of Cleveland, for $5,800 with 58,000 original miles. The ad is gone. We keep the record because low-mile, one-family Accords of this generation still change hands, and a real asking price is a handy reference.
What this car was
A four-door Accord LX in Dark Emerald Pearl with an ivory cloth interior. It sits on the standard steel wheels with plastic covers. In the photos the paint has a deep shine, and the seats, carpet and dash look clean with no visible wear on the driver’s bolster.
Under the hood is the 2.3-liter four-cylinder, paired with an automatic. The seller made several claims about its history:
- Garage kept and owned by one person since new
- Serviced at a Honda dealership
- No rust
- Cold air conditioning
- New tires
Was $5,800 a fair ask?
It was a fair price in mid-2023. Used-car prices were still high, and a rust-free Accord with 58,000 miles, one owner and dealer service is close to the best version of this car you can find. The main thing holding the price back is age, along with the automatic transmission. Automatics in this generation of Accord had a poor reputation, mostly on the V6 cars, so a buyer would still want to drive it and check the shifts and the fluid.
A little Accord history
Honda launched the Accord in 1976, and it became one of the best-selling cars in America. The sixth generation arrived for 1998, built in Marysville, Ohio, as a sedan and a coupe. It used a 2.3-liter four or a 3.0-liter V6, and it was sold in DX, LX and EX trims. This body ran until 2002. It is still common on the road, which says a lot about how well the four-cylinder cars hold up.
