40k-Mile 2005 Honda Accord EX V6 Coupe

Description

The Honda Accord debuted in 1976 as a compact hatchback, and it not only set the bar for reliable, economical, front-wheel-drive cars in the United States, it became the first car of Japanese origin to be produced in America. Although the original Accord hatchback ended its run in 1989, the Accord lineup had expanded to include a Sedan, Coupe, and Wagon, and sales continued to swell.

And by the time the seventh generation of the Accord was launched for the 2003 model year, the car seemed to be everywhere, having evolved into an intermediate vehicle with one basic platform but with different bodies and proportions. That winning formula seemed to offer something for just about every discerning car buyer.

The 2003-2006 North American Accord — available in Coupe and Sedan forms with a hybrid on the way — could still be had with a 166-horsepower, 2.4-liter inline-four engine, but a new 3.0-liter V6 in provided 240 horsepower, a considerable upgrade from the previous generation.

If you’ve been looking for a seventh-generation Accord, you will be hard pressed to locate one with the mileage and condition shown in this 2005 model, a one-owner example that shows careful use for almost two decades.
