thanks for the words of advice - I appreciate it and keep it coming
the CPO warranty is 3 yrs/ 100 k total miles with 24 hour road assistance, loaners, etc.
some of the silver CPO's my dealer had include a 2001 with black interior and 23k miles, a 2000 platinum edition with black interior and 24k miles, and the one I drove, a 2000 with light grey interior and 48k miles.
they also had a 1995 with 96k miles which was about half or less the price
another question is about head room. I am 5-11 or 6-0 and noticed that I have about only 1 inch or 2 to spare. (I could "sense" the roof line but din't actually feel it. Any issues from you moderately tall ES owners?
also a question about the "moon roof" - does it open or it it there to just look good
if I don't get the ES300 I will probably end up with an Accord. Pretty blah??
thanks and great site!
