# Used Honda Accord Featured in Genius Commercial Now Going for More Than $30,000 on eBay

In just a day bidding for the [1996 Honda Accord EX Coupe](<https://www.ebay.com/itm/253238842214?_trksid=p2471758.m4703>) we featured on the [site](<https://www.thedrive.com/watch-this/15710/man-makes-amazing-commercial-to-sell-his-fiances-1996-honda-accord-for-499>) went from $499 ([KBB valued at $473](<https://www.thedrive.com/>)) to over $30,000 on Ebay. We are not here to judge, but holy hell Batman, $30,000 for a 21 year old Accord seems a little steep. Yes, this is the EX with the 145 horsepower VTEC engine and tan leather seats, but even the biggest Accord fanboy in the world may think twice about $30,000.

What can be the reasoning behind the high bids? Most likely someone who has enough money to do it for the story or possibly a genius marketing play by the video creator to promote his production skills. At this moment, the video is trending in slot #6 on Youtube and already had over 757,000 views. Whatever the case may be, the bidding process has been distracting the whole *The Drive* team this Friday afternoon. According to the add, the bidding war ends in five days and the owner (soon to be former owner) of the 1996 [Honda Accord](<https://thestore.thedrive.com/>) may find herself leasing a [2018 Land Rover Range Rover.](<https://thestore.thedrive.com/>)
