Default Considering trading 97 civic ex for 97 accord lx

I am having problems so my dealer told me he has a few cars, one beign a 97 accord lx with 80k and its an automatic. I now have a 97 civic ex with 65k & its a 5 speed. I dont mind the auto cause its my daily driver. Do you guys think this is a good trade? BTW my civic now needs a radiator, batt & maybe a condenser or who knows.

Keep the civic, cheaper to maintain, it has less miles and the EG's are some of the most sought after and easiest/cheapest to upgrade!

ooops thought you had an EG, EK's are O.K. too ............i guess!

I would get better gas mileage no? My friend said he noticed a few more mpg's after changing his muffler.
