I purchased a Honda Accord for its history being a reliable family car. My car is currently over 15 years old. Aside from the need to manually unlock and lock one of the doors, everything works well and without defect. The vehicle performs well with basic routine maintenance and care. I live in the city so there are minor cosmetic blemishes, but I would have expected greater wear and tear given it's outdoor living conditions and weather.

I purchased this car from a friend who was moving out of state as a temporary solution. It is in pretty good shape and gets pretty decent gas mileage, but my friend had put a number of miles on the car, so I don't intend to keep it for more than a couple years. This car was a good deal, and I decided to buy a cheap car cash while I save up for something better and try to improve my credit score. My little Honda has been super reliable, has had minimal maintenance costs, and gets pretty good gas mileage. I'd recommend this car to anybody in a similar situation as me.
