My wife has a 2009 Accord in great mechanical shape with only 77k miles on it. As it spent 9 years in Phoenix its paint is shot and it is checked and faded to crap. I think I am going to spend the 3500 to get it repainted and put new Michelin tires on it.
Good investment. Have you looked at new car prices? Dealers are getting significantly more than MSRP.
I have a 2016 Honda Accord Sport and on the raise edge of the trunk lid the paint/clear coat is fading away. The rest does look ok. Maybe one of those miracle cleaners will bring back the showroom shine.
