I will just park that on the other side yard, the one with the side fence all of the way in the back!

No problem!

I will just throw cammo netting over it!

That car really deserves better skill and luck than I possess, although that applies to my cars, as well.

Someone posted a [relatively] low-mileage 2002 Accord for $600 and I linked it to my friend who drives up once every month or so to see her parents in the general area.

"Hey, can you drive this up the next time you visit your parents?! I'll be your frieeeeeeeeeeeeend! ��"
"Then you’ll drive me home in it or fly me home?"
"There has been a crash every year out of the Show Low airport.
I will drive you home."

That wasn't the response I expected from her.

2002 Honda Accord EX.
Runs really well. Constant maintenance over the past 6 years. Regular oil changes and tuneups.
Good for teen drivers or maybe a commute car.
Has minor oil leak. Psgr window is off its track and A/C needs to be recharged.
$600 Firm. Cash only.
It needed constant maintenance! That's not good!

What are the criteria for being good for a teen driver? I see that on almost every ad!
How bad is the minor oil leak? I wouldn't call my leaks minor, even in an ad, although I would say "It does leak, but if you top off the fluids every month you will be fine."

You will have a giant stain in your driveway until the leak is out of control!

I can get a window back on track. I replaced a regulator on my Accord window.

I can recharge the AC, but what about the leak? People always say that it just needs to be recharged, but why is it low?!

Would you rather deal with a leaky AC or engine and transmission?

They say it has 164,400 miles, less than two-thirds as many as my 2002 Civic, they are asking 25% less; it is the same year, but larger, and I cannot imagine anyone claiming that my 2002 Civic "runs really well." 2002 Honda Accord - $600 (Sun City)
