I have a 4 banger and Ive been thinking about trading in for a ex-l v6. I do realize I will lose money buy is it worth more for the power? I've had my accord for almost 5 months with 7 k miles on it. If anyone would know how it works with trade ins. But is it rly worth it?

 

I have an 05 Accord EXL V6 Coupe and I can tell you from experience,the difference in the I4 and the V6 is great.The V6 just runs circles around the 4 cyl.My gas mileage is a combined 28 miles per gallon,with the AC running all the time.NOT BAD!!!.I suggest you drive 3 or 4 V6's to help you make your decision.

If I was interested in power solely, V6 would be my choice. Of course, I would have to get the 6spd cause I hate driving automatics.
Hopefully sir_nasty will comment on the trade in aspect as he is our resident pro in that area.

 

From what I've seen trade in usually isn't a good idea. You can sell your car for quite a bit more than what dealers offer for a trade in. Check out Kellybluebook and see the difference between the private sale price and trade in price to give you an idea.

 

well when my parents went and got the car they went w/o me. My dad told me the v6 was no different but i think thats from regular driving. But i looked at the specs and it gets all its hp in the higher rpms. Well and yes ive heard trade ins r bad. Idk how they work but i dont want to sell bc my psrents would be pisses even more than if i were to trade in. I jus heard accords have good value esp. The old ones. Anyway i got mine at pat peck honda in gulfport, ms. My parents financed it so im paying 463 a mnth. Im jus wonderin how much more the v6 will cost me

 

well, to make it funner
you could mod your 4 cylinder to that it can match a stock v6

 

Whats the point to mod a 4 banger so it can match a STOCK V6!!.Get the V6, mod it so you really have an awesome running car.On this forum most of you guys are running 4 bangers,whats that all about?.

 

well ive considered that but i think it will be more costly.
its gonna cost me an arm and leg for turbo and the extra exhaust which
will make the mpg worst than the v6. The thing is i want the v6 for a little more power, better ac,vsa, and other nic nacs the v6 has

 

4 bangers are more mod-able...if you had an infinite amount of money and modded both cars to the max, the 4 banger would turn out faster just because you cannot do as much to the v6 to make it faster. i said an infinite amount of money just to make the amount the same. please do not leave a comment like, "well w/ an infinite amount of money you can put a bugatti engine and tranny in or anything like that. i am just trying to make a point.

 

4 bangers are lighter too
