I am considering picking this up to get me around. I drive about 10 miles a day to and from work and sometimes more. I am going to be doing stuff to the S and it will be down for a couple of weeks at a time, so it would be nice to have something to use.

What do you think about this depending on mileage and condition in person? Anything I need to look out for?

1990 Honda Accord; NEW alternator, radiator, brakes and rotors within the last year; Runs well; Paint and interior in good shape. $1500



I left the lady a message asking her to call and let me know how many miles are on her.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Ryan

Then it looks reasonable, especially after $2000 of changes with receipts.

I had a 90 with a H22, before I did the swap the car had about 120k on it. I had always kept it in great shape and had no problems with it when it was stock. Only thing I changed was oil, fluids filters, and pads. I ended up putting about 160k on the car untill some nice lady ran a stop sign and totaled it. Any ways, sounds like it would be a great commuter car, seems like a fair price too.

seems like a good deal, a guy I work with does a 50 mile commute in his every day and supposedly has over 300000 miles on his nd it still runs strong.

Those are supposed to be very solid cars.

buy it.
looks like these people did most of the tune up for you. look over what they missed like a new fuel filter and o2 senser... get a car fax on the car. do some research on what is failing with the car, by this time there should be some good data.
