Sorry Charlie. Can't comment on the Nissan. It's supposed to be a good car but I don't know anyone that actually drives one. I can, however, comment on the Honda Accord. Awesome car! Of the 23 people in my office, 9 have Accords. My wife has a 2004 and she simply loves it. Starts everytime, no problems, just requires regular maintenance like all cars do. In a word, ... dependable. If you' have the option, I'd highly suggest you look at an Accord closely before buying anything else.

I guess it has been a while since we had a "Charlie buying a car thread"

that may be spare, but recent events have caused my cars to float away. we just replaced my wife's 06 sienna with an 11 sienna. now i need a reliable station car to last the next two or so years. i'm working a job with some built in overtime so i dont wanna get stuck with two car payments.
destroyer, i know the honda is a great car. we've always gone toyota, which is also a superior product. just cant really afford those two right now. the maxima seems to go a bit cheaper than the big jap two.

most of the problems i have heard about with older nissans have been electrical. not anything major, little things. elec windows not working, dash lights out, annoying things like that.
you mention your cars being damaged in the storm, watch out for someone unloading their problems to you.

Stay away from suzuki. I have a 17 year old truck that does not have the problems my 2006 Forenza does. About to pull the bulb on the check engine light. I do have gap though!
My sister had a 91 Nissan 240SX. Wrecked it three times in two days! Then the car lasted another four years! She finally wanted something newer and got a 98 Toyota Avalon with 275k miles. That was a good car too until her buy here pay here car lot screwed her over on her payments.
