I had forgotten about the non flip headlamp version of the third Gen accord. You had me wondering for a minute as I was thinking CB accord when you said about the lights but the year didn't make sense. Looks really tidy, a great little run around for you.
BTW, call me sick but I quite like the chocolate interior, especially as its in great nick. It suits a Japanese car of the era, what I don't like is how they were still trying those tricks in the 2000's on some models. (Not so much Honda though, Toyota and Nissan. I am looking at you)

She had a 96 Renult Laguna from a while, does that count! Interesting car but I think it was haunted LOL. We actually looked at updating that on 2002 (i think) one but man all the gizmos including the key card push button start put us off. Nice ride though.

that looks really tidy indeed. it reminds me of the one i picked up a few years ago for cheap. only cause i didn't know any better about deregistered cars. i still have it too lol. i seem to hoard these particular cars

What would you take money wise!

That certainly does count! Its not the electrics that worry me so much with the late model Frenchies, its the automatic transmissions, lots of them use the stupid AL4 which can't be serviced properly without splitting in two on the bench and usually dies a premature death. That and they do have some "interestng" ways of going about things which can make some service operations annoying. If it was not for the transmission issue I would probably have a crack at a bargain priced C5 Diesel.

Those Accords are actually quite good cars, especially considering the age of the design. Good motor, drive well, ride great, quiet and comfy. Don't get all those perks in a same age Commodore.
Real value for money now too if you get a tidy one
