Default Looking to buy 03-05 Accord 6-6; what to watch/look for?

I've finally decided it's time to make a move. During the last few months, I've deliberated between getting a CL-S, RSX-S, and Accord v6 along with a few other cars. I have narrowed it down to getting either the CL-S 6 speed or Accord v6 6 speed, as for what I am looking for, both cars are pretty equal overall and are in the same ballpark in price. The Accord manual is a lot more easier to come by than the CLS-6, and right now there isn't really anything that stands out in my vicinity as far as CLs but I have found several good deals on Accords. I test drove an 03 Accord with navi the other day, but since it was overpriced(15,600 for an 03 with 75k and nicked up bumpers) I just took it for a spin to get the feel for it. I must say it was an upgrade in every way imaginable, while keeping the small car feel I have been used to(never owned a car heavier than a DA lol) and I am definitely going to get one, it's just a matter of time. I don't know if it's the gas prices, or the market may be inundated with trade-ins for the stellar 08 Accord, but pretty much every one I see has an asking price below KBB value. For example: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/...t=307
$13,900 for an 05 with less than 50k is WAY below KBB retail.

Is there anything in specific I should look out for? I heard about the TSB for the 3rd gear synchro recently, so I guess I'll take it on an onramp and see if I get any flack trying to get it into 3rd gear at high rpms. Other than that I don't know of anything in specific besides the normal stuff.
