$500 accord sold

I acquired the 2003 Honda Accord back in 2015 for $500 from my brother-in-law after it had been involved in a broad-side collision on the left rear quarter panel. The car came to me at a time when my family had only 2 cars (one for my wife to take to work, and one for the kids to take to school) and a mountain of credit card debt. Getting the car allowed me to work a temp job without either me or my wife leaving early from work to pick up the kids from school. It came to me with 35k miles on it after I sent my daughter and her friends to NY to drive it home for me and over the last 5 years, we've traversed the country several times putting over 75k miles on the odometer and getting some memorable road trips in the books. During that time, I spent a few hundred dollars fixing things that broke and making the car work as well as or better than an $8k dollar car. here's a rundown of the changes: 2 lower rear control arms 2 upper rear arms sunroof relay 2 door lock actuators heater
