no, this shoud not be in the marketplace... i'm seeking facts about the canadian models...

ok, does that look like a good deal? i mean, i don't know if the canadian models came fully painted like that, and to me, the front end looks like the 86/7 model, not the 88... imma call (if i know for sure i have the $$) and check it out... it looks like a good deal to me

Just look carefully under the engine at the frame and at the engine bay to make sure no supports are cracked then welded. My car has a new front end (fenders forward) and the supports around the rad. are a little bent but other then that the frame is great and the tires wear perfectly. Oh yeah, also see if the tires are badly worn, that could indicated bent frame. But then again that could also indicate a trashed front suspension.

Thinkin everything better work on it for that, 3G's go for dirt cheap around S GA and N FL, or for the most part they do.

Except this guy, he obviously has a crack habit to support

letting go for $5000 (http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/vdetail.jtmpl?car_id=143247033&dealer_id=&car_year=1989&make=HONDA&distance=300&max_price=&model=ACCORD&end_year=1989&advcd_on=n&min_price=&address=32131&search_type=used&advanced=n&start_year=1986&color=&cardist=200)

And one of his crackhead customers

one of a kind (http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/vdetail.jtmpl?car_id=143247728&dealer_id=&car_year=1989&make=HONDA&distance=300&max_price=&model=ACCORD&end_year=1989&advcd_on=n&min_price=&address=32131&search_type=used&advanced=n&start_year=1986&color=&cardist=292)

I wish I were in a place where honda's went for that cheap. Around here one like that would go for around 4 grand. Mine was more then that and beat to hell.

And to think I thought it was the neons and strobes, seat covers/shoulder pads, and chrome pedals that made it worth 5k:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

I paid 300 bucks for mine, 174k, no A/C and needed paint and some TLC but mechanically never has left me stranded

its like you need a warning somwhere on the car..

"CAUTION..IF YOU SUFFER FROM EPILEPTIC SEIZURES OR HAVE ANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS PERTAINING TO LIGHT...DO NOT DRIVE CAR":lol

lets use the big powerful motor to tow stuff around

LOL... good shit

on the topic of cheap accords, my parents don't want me in anything that remotely looks crappy, and refuse to let me have a "fixer upper"... and to me, i think that's a very fair price considering it's a canadian model sitting in the orlando area in florida...

and they may not be on crack... the may just be --crackish--

mom and dad talked to me, and said that mom was gonna be getting an SUV soon (always changin...) and that i'll get the mazda... also when i was talking to the guy about the accord, he siad that it was probably already sold, as he had 2 people aready coming to look at it...

how many people woud argue that he wanted an old accord above a 2000 626...

09-28-2003, 06:27 PM

The new 626 looks like a granny car.

Vanilla Sky
09-28-2003, 06:42 PM
lol, i'm not sure about granny car, but i would rather have the 3gee... some rims and a couple other easy mods, and i'll have a nice car until i can afford something more expensive/better
