It doesn't have alloys, premium radio with xm or a rear DC that I know of...
where would that be?

Also I thought kiwi was the only green availiable in 06? Is there some place on the car that says the paint color?

You have a Kiwi LX model.

Kiwi replaced Galapagos Green for 2006.

Congrats! It looks well taken care of and totally awesome!

Yeah it was pretty well taken care of it seems. It had two owners. The first owner put like 28k of the 50k miles on it in a year and a half. The other owner drove it between 7-8k a year to get the rest. Even if the first guy abused it he only had it less than two years... so worst case scenario is still a pretty good one.

If you dont mind me asking... How much did you pay for it. I just found a 2004 with 53,000 miles EX AWD, and the dealer wants ~$13,000

the price was technically 15,000 (reduced from 16 this week).. I got them down to 14000... but the big thing for me was I got $2500 out of my trade in, that other dealers already told me they wouldn't even take

so I paid 12500 I got it at Sussex Honda In NJ... they were very nice to deal with and they proudly displayed high customer service awards from Honda


I don't know where you are located but there is one in Queens at Paragon honda for like 10,990 it's an 05 with 53,000 miles. I was looking to buy this one but A) it was city cary B) the girl I dealt with April Connor was very nasty to me. C) if it seems to good to be true...

Thanks! I'm in SoCal... where everything seems to be more expensive. I will try to haggle, but I don't think they want to budge. Congrats on your E! I hope to get one soon. :)

well over in socal there is no road salt to help speed up the rusting process

that price you quoted isn't bad Im sure you could talk him down from that at least 500-700
do you have a trade?

No trade. Just looking to put about $500 down and finance the rest.

They are mighty hard to find in stick with low mileage, so I had drive a few hours to get it.

I live near Williamsport PA.
