Is trading my Miata for an accord a good idea?

I currently have a 1999 Mazda Miata with 160,000 miles on it. I'm looking at a 2004 Honda accord with 180,000 miles on it. The dealer is asking for my car down and $300 a month for 18 months (the car is priced at $7,000). I'm looking for a new car because my Miata is just to small. I have a dog and I take trips throughout the year with my girlfriend and I hate always using her car. Is this a good deal?

The accord is way overpriced unless it has a nearly new transmission otherwise it's a money pit

Why would you pay $7,000 for an 11 year old Accord with 180K miles?

  • Driving to Cali from AZ good idea with my car? Is it good to take a Honda Pilot 07 400 miles and back from Az to Cali if it has 119,000 miles on it, patched tire, 9 month battery and alternator, fresh oil change, and timing belt? I'm scared it won't make it
  • Is it a good idea to go from a 125cc to a 1200 ducati? I've been riding a Honda 125cc for 3 weeks now and almost getting used to it. Just got my license and i'm thinking about getting this used ducati 1200cc.
  • Is it a good idea to get a crotch rocket as a beginner street bike? I really like the Honda CBR 600's. I've actaullu never ridden a crotch rocket. I'm 5'6 exact and 135 pounds. Would this bike be too big? I ride motocross on an RM 125 Suzuki. It's pretty tall. Anyways, am I crazy to want a crotch rocket as a beginner rider? What bike would you guys recommend? Besides a Ninja 250 because I heard you outgrow them and they don't provide much speed/power.
  • Is it a good idea to buy a car from a girl that you have crush on? Its a used 95 honda she paid 2,000$ for it. I told her i will give her 1,000 for it. She said she can't do that so i then offered her 3,000 for it then she just looked confused i'm not sure if that is good or bad. So i finally offered her 4,000 for it and she just said that she will think about it.
