For the year, I'd say its in great condition. Recently replaced front brakes, tires, ignition switch, ignition relay. It has 186k miles on it. The transmission (automatic) is questionable. One shop suggested a replacement, but Gaylord's Garage (a Honda specific shop) suggested that the transmission fluid be swapped.
I'll update with more details in a little while.
Update: Asking price is $2,300.00. The car just had the automatic transmission fluid changed and it is shifting much better. Also, I was off on the mileage. It is at 182,xxx at this point. Also, the car is white. I will post up some pictures when it is above freezing.
My wife took the time to steam clean the carpets in the car, and I am actually quite impressed with the condition of the interior and exterior of the car. While shopping for her new(er) car, I was continually unimpressed with the wear and tear on the vehicles with only 3-4 years of use and <20k miles considering this one is in far better shape and is now 15 years old and has 182k miles. I don't know how people can treat their cars so poorly.
Oh, and vtec engagement on this model is less inspiring than it is in the S2000, but when people tune the S, they lower the vtec engagement point, which makes it less noticeable, but produces more power under the curve. The accord already does that. The car is plenty powerful for a daily driver and comfortable.
