- Had 2009 2.4i Exec
Hi all
New to the UK but previously owned a 2009 2.4i Exec in RSA. Needing some advice pls on purchasing a used Accord here in the UK
I would be doing school runs, limited urban/suburban driving and was targeting a 2008-11 EX 2.0i. I live in outer London and could be subject to ULEV requirements (inside the ring road)
I've reviewed a couple of UK website but wanted to post a few questions to you
1) The used prices I am seeing on Autotrader and Cargurus are significantly higher than reference pricing (Parkers?). What is the best source for used auto pricing right now in the UK
2) Stick or auto? My fear is that the auto saps responsive on what is a low torque engine
3) Price negotiations in the UK - what works? I've lived in countries where aggressive discounts are not insulting and others where there is little room to negotiate - what is more true in the UK for this kind of car
4) What did I miss? Common failure items and such
Cheers!
John
