thanks for the replies so far.

i should also note that the previous jobs 23.5 mile one way drive was 22.8 miles highway. this job will also be a 2nd shift job so average speeds to work are 70 to 75 and that's just to keep from being ran over (sometimes literally) by Semi trucks, the ride home i can go way slower at 55 to 60 mph.

old mechanic, you are totally correct about going outside the rust belt for a vehicle.

I was assuming to sell the accord after getting a replacement and making sure it's reliable. once cleaned up the accord should get 1500$ (2000$ if i'm real patient). I don't mind something that needs some work (I'm a diesel mechanic)

I was thinking about doing a boattail to the accord if it gets kept, but it's not really easy to do this on a sedan.

And has anyone tried p&g or neutral coasting on an auto car?
