First thing I'd have to say is it's a somewhat rare bird
First thing I'd have to ask is; Whats wrong with it?
First thing I'd suggest is what Vt4cpwn35 mentioned: a Kellys' Blue Book inquiry.

It will give you some idea what it's resale value comes out as.

This site should be your god when buying a car. But take other factors into consideration too.

 

It depends on the comdition...but in good condition I would say around $4500.

 

KBB has that car at about 3800 for fair condition and 4400 for good.

For 2k you are getting it for a steal but I would guess that it needs some mantience. I have not had any experience with that V6 but I have a feeling it is not a reliable as the f22's.

 

Manual or Auto? I would say $2000 is a decent price, if everything is in good condition.

 

5th gen v6's only came with autos

 

last time i saw it the car looked like it was in good running shape.
reason for selling is cuz he just bought a truck and he dont need it anymore.

 

I believe it is the 6th gen that came in auto for the V6 only.

 

I'm pretty sure the only V6's that have sticks are the new 6 speeds.

 

For the 1996 LX V6 application, Honda shows both the 5spd KA5MT (Federal Emissions 5spd Manual trans) along with the KA4AT (Federal Emissions 4spd Auto) listing in it's parts manual.

I guess you could have it both ways

my bad..... learned something new today..

 

wow, didn't know that either, must be even more rare.

 

I have never seen a V6 manual for 5th gen. Honda's part site will allow you to choose 5mt parts for V6 but upon closer inspection they are for the 4cyl car

 

i've personally never seen an auto v6 either but looks like i am getting the car for $1700
car runs and drives fine with no rust
and its a 95 i thought it was a 96 with tan interior.
i think i got a good deal
