Well I did it (got a "new" vehicle)

Chainblade · 07-06-2007, 03:36 PM

I traded my 1993 Honda Accord for a 1994 Ford Explorer. You might ask, "but why Chainblade?!". Well I'm 6'6", 280 lbs. so I was looking for a larger vehicle. The Accord is so low to the ground that it kills my back. Then the seats aren't comfortable at all. The Explorer is hella comfortable. I knew I'd be able to trade probably since people are wanting better gas mileage cars now a days. Ya I'm not looking forward to the extra gas but I think it'll be worth it. My insurance goes up a whopping $1 per month lol. My Accord had some problems though. Only 100k miles so that was a good selling point for the guy. But it had some light body damage and the AC didn't work. And the ABS light was on. The Explorer I got was hella clean. Man I was impressed. Had an aftermarket sound system in it too. Bigger tires and nice rims. Oh and a mean flowmaster exhaust

. I'm very happy. I don't have it yet. We officialy trade on Tuesday. Long couple a days waiting for it. I can't wait! I'll post pics as soon as I get it.

Hope it works out for you. I have my doubts.

Chainblade · 07-07-2007, 11:44 AM

well i figure the worst that happens is that it doesn't work out as planned and I just sell it and get something else...

The gas is going to rape you, but it'll be a comfortable ride.

Chainblade · 07-09-2007, 07:04 PM

the gas isn't THAT bad. I expected worse. it's definitely worth the extra cost for the comfort, that's for sure. gah I gotta take pics of it still!
