This car is pretty damn clean, but I'd be interested to see how much rust it accumulated after 12 years in NY.

Where did you guy see side airbags there? o_O
Also, cloth heated seats were always an option. My dad's GXE with cloth got heated seats.
And seeing how the SE was the one car that could go as bare as a GXE and as loaded as a GLE it's not surprising that it has such an interesting array of options.
To support my point in my area there is a SE for sale without even heated seats, and I missed out on buying a SE that was loaded to the max (pun intended
)

Nope, a lot of German cars do it. My brothers Audi has heated cloth and I have seen numerous VW's with it as an option. IIRC, the Canadian Maxima was offered with heated cloth seats as an option.

I actually saw this car in person. I drove 40 mins away to check it out a few months ago. I'm surprised he still has it for sale. The car has many scratches all over it and the Driver fender and driver door has been painted and has had body filler on them.. And the muffler was cut off and a Cheap china muffler was welded on. And is has a bunch of door dings on it. In the pictures it looks nice and clean but really in person it has a lot of flaws for that kind of mileage and for that kind of asking price.. This dealer purchased the car from a Honda dealer.. He said the previous owner traded it in for a brand new accord.

Or it was driven by an old person...my grandparents put 2-3K miles on their vehicles annually so this doesn't surprise me much at all. Judging by the numerous scratches/dings, I would be willing to bet they rarely washed the car.
I think the miles are right, it was probably just neglected. I wonder how old the oil filter is :P

My Grandfather has a 1993 Mercury that only has 45k on it, so it is entirely possible. Although I used to work for a delaer who would take wrecked low mileage cars and resell them once fixed up

A car that is 12 years old is bound to have scratches and dings in it, some more than others unless the car was a museum piece, the Carfax looks legit and the muffler could have rusted out and been replaced. A digital odometer is kinda hard to roll back, you have to access the ECM to do it, it's not impossible, the average garage greasehead couldn't do it.

Its believable. Even a guy told me that he seen a pastor the other day with a Toyota Cressida...can't remember the year but it just rolled over to 10K and you know how told those cars are. He only uses it to go to church only...

Some of you guys need to realise that buying a low miler (especially a car over 10 years old) DOES NOT mean the car doesn't have problems. Rust, belts, hoses, oil left in the car for years... the list is endless!
Even if that car was pristine, unless it has full history of PERIODIC maintenance I wouldn't touch it with a 20ft pole.

Why would cloth heated seats be a fire hazard? The heating elements do not get that hot. Plus leather has fabric on the back of it anyways and behind the heating elements are foamy material which is likely just as flammable.

I'm with Kevlo. I'm sure the temp of the heating element can't get as hot as a car sitting in the Southwest sun with no tint in the middle of the summer.

Says it has a rear stabilizer bar? That feature list is retarded and the price is a joke. I'd like to go there in my car and tell him I payed $1600 for it 5 years ago and still don't have $8,000 into it fully modded. Used car prices have been a little out of control lately.

the car was traded to a honda dealer, and they did'nt sell it. this guy bought it at a dealer auction and cleaned it up, and pushed the price up to make a profit. i think a fair price would be 4,500.00 if its running strong with no leaks, rad support rust, body rust etc. if it sat too long, then the seals and/or other engine components could be ready to fail as well. anyone with a working knowledge of our cars would be smart to take it to another garage to have it checked out. and i would work that price waaayyy down.

my 97 had 168k miles on the odo when i purchased it. when i got the title for it, the odo statement said 183k. i don't know how the digital odo works but swapping out lower mileage instrument panel is not unheard of nor impossible...
just a thought guys...
