It's a 4 cylinder EX Coupe. Cloth interior.

46k miles on the odometer and they're asking for $13k flat.

I took it out for a test drive today. The interior is not very clean for a 2006 and the dash (driver side) rattle sometimes/slightly.

They offer $9.6k for my 2006 civic DX Coupe as a trade in, which is the same price on KBB for trade in value.

In my part of the world, that particular car would sell for $13K with an automatic transmission.

For whatever that's worth.

From your description, I would judge that it is in "fair" condition.

the 2006 & 2007 ex coupe are going for around $17-18k here. $13k seems pretty low to me so that's why i'm asking. The interior is in fair condition for it being an 2006 model I guess.

There's oil leaking/seeping on the valve cover, i guess this is common for the k series motor?

No, not really common. However, it's not necessarily the sign of anything bad.

so you are going from a Civic DX to an Accord LX for $3400?-sounds like a good deal to me. Tell them you give them your car and $2500 just to see that they say. Civics are always hot on the used car market, so they shouldn't mind giving you at least 10k+ for yours. I wholesale them all day for over trade in value.

I cant see the add anymore but judging from what others have said I wouldn't like the fact that it is a 4 cylinder or a auto. Neither one of those would I want on this car. I love our V6 6speed and wouldn't have it any other way.

If you are not going to get a V6 I would stick w/ the Civic. I went from a '99 Civic, there was numerous times I thought of getting a 4cyl Accord. I waited for a deal and jumped on it (2004 EX V6). So glad I did...

Not a bad price on the car. Oil leaking from the valve cover is a very easy fix. If the Int is cleanable and you see not much else wrong with the car I see it being a decent deal.

i see it as a decent deal and thats about it. but, i think the first time you ride in a v6 accord you will be kicking yourself in the nuts. i have a 6 speed v6 accord and its worlds different than the base model. id save up a lil more for the nicer accord.
