[Supras] $10K OBD2 scanner

[Bob]

Tough price range.... Not that is isn't enough but for a little bit more
(payment wise) you could go new...

My father has purchased both base model 4 cylinder Camry's and Honda's over
the last two years back of $20K out the door.

Yes they were 4 cyl but all the other nice options (Air CD, Power
everything)

I have no idea what the 03 Accord is but if it is even near this cost you
can get a new car for not much more.

The Toyota just went through a redesign so that may be tough to hit that
number but the old body style (2007) Honda shouldn't be a problem.  They
have to be clearing them out somewhere near you. 

My dad had to pit two dealers 50 miles apart to get his number but it
worked.  If you can live without the V6 and Leather.... and even leather can
be had for around $600 but you would need to install it

I've always liked the V6 but it is always cheaper to fix a 4 cyl and how
much horsepower do you really need to move an Accord?
