We need to buy Brett a car for his internship. We figured that we would have to get him one no matter where he lived this summer or what he did, but now that he has his internship squared away we decided to start looking. Both Doug and I would like to get him a Honda. The Silverado has been perfect for high school life, but Brett needs something that he can drive back and forth to his internship and still fit in a parking space at his apartment. Hondas have been reliable for the Heinisch family and so far have had longevity.
We checked out Kelly Blue Book and it gave us several leads for used Honda Accords and Civics in the $8000 price range all around $100,000. There was one that we ruled out immediately as it had a severely dented back end. Several were in Kokomo or Kalamazoo. We would travel that far if we need to, but are hoping to find one closer.
Tonight we went to Warsaw to test drive an Accord. It looked great, was in our price range and was just under a 100,000 miles. Once we test drove it, however, we decided to try another one. This one was louder than I thought it should be and from what we could gather we thought it needed the timing belt replaced. Since it did not come with a warranty, we thought we'd check out a couple more before we decided. The nice part for Cam and Meg was that they got to go to Buffalo Wild Wings afterward and it was Boneless Thursday.
