How Much Did You Pay For Your 3gen Accord?

[bullard123]

I Paid $500 Dollars For Mine. The Fifth Gear Was Burned Out And It Had A 158,000 Miles On It.

[XxDark_AccordxX]

i paid $1000 2 years ago. That was with a messed up electrical harness (still is and yes...no radio) no AC, plus ALOT of oil leaks. It just had a new head put in before i bought it.

[Raduque]

Sounds like mine, bullard. $300, no 5th, dead w/p, dead ECT sensor, maladjusted clutch, and now 4th is gone. Oh yes, oil leaks, of course. No idea where they're from.

[shepherd79]

i paid $150 for my accord. it didn't have tranny, and it had blown head gasket.

DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE GOTTEN YOUR MONEY'S WORTH OUT OF IT?

[bullard123]

MAN MY CLUTCH WAS MALADJUSTED TOO. IT WAS DISENGAGING WAY TOO HIGH. PLUS I HAVE A OIL LEAK THAT IS LEAKING ON MY TIMING BELT SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GET THAT REPLACED REAL SOON. HAVE YOU PRICED GETTING THAT FOURTH GEAR FIXED YET?

[bullard123]

i paid $150 for my accord. it didn't have tranny, and it had blown head gasket.

MAN IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU REALLY BRUNG IT BACK FROM THE DEAD! ARE YOU A MECHANIC?

[SEiCOOLGUY]

i paid $1,800, very good condition...except for a few paint problems(very minor)

[deadlight]

Paid 200 bucks. 0 compression on 2 cyl. and 60 on the other 2. No radiator or fan. I installed a new engine and radiator and all that other fun stuff, new rear brakes and that was about it.

[Busted_Blue]

paid $16000 in 1989. it was like new....wait it was.. :)

[DeathRat]

I paid $3000 CAN for mine. That was with a poorly hung Erebuni Ground FX Kit too.....

[N-Man]

paid $2000 2 years ago. had working a/c, new hoses and belts, new clutch, new radio, new speakers and 150,000 miles. was driven and delivered from ATL.

[i.c.]

500 last year....no problems...just got it from a family friend

[shepherd79]

MAN IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU REALLY BRUNG IT BACK FROM THE DEAD! ARE YOU A MECHANIC?
no i am not a mechanic, i just know my ways around the cars. plus this is my second 3G so i know a hole lot about it. i never trust any mechanic. i do all the work myself. it may take a little longer, but i will know that if something breaks it is my fault and i know how to fix it.

[Volitech]

I paid 1500 over 3 years ago from a used car place he wanted three grand but someone had key'd it the night before!

[Volitech]

Oh yah! It also had the o.z. racing rims on it when I got it! I think that's what caught my eye!

[Silver86LX]

I paid $800 for mine almost 2 month ago for my '89 LX. Needed a new windshield to pass safety, and some minor work to pass emissions.

[Raduque]

bullard, getting a new trans would be cheaper then getting 4th + 5th gear replaced. I forgot to mention that's it's more then just those two gears; the entire trans itself is on the way out, my synchos are dying. The people who owned it before me put manual trans gear oil in it instead of plain 10w-30 motor oil, so it's fragged.

A replacement trans from a junkyard is ~$300. A rebuilt from most places I've seen is ~$500-600. I've heard single gear sets ALONE are almost $500 from the dealer

BTW bullared, there seems to be something wrong with your computer... all your text is coming out in all-caps =D

[guaynabo89]

I paid 5000 for it back in 92 with like 80,000 on the odo. Second owner too.

[89coupe1777]

I paid 200 for my coupe with sunroof and different rims but it didn't have an alternator but other than that no problems 198k when I got it.

[ivanfbi]

paid $1000 in 2003 september, was in really good condition, with working everything with a good Kenwood casset player and really good body and susp. problems were really minor, like broken switch on power window, which cost me $3 and it had 126K on original engine. Right now I have spend $2400 on it(including price of car) and I have got Black Widow body kit, 17", 2 12 Kenwood subs(1000W each) 1000w Kenwood amp, all Kenwood speakers, kenwood cd(50x4), tint, paint job, lowering springs(still need shocks) and blah blah blah...well soon to be for sale. Ohh, yeah, can someone come to my house and post all the pictures of my car on the forum? cuz I don't have enough time to do that.

[T-Funk]

500 canadian 1 year ago, nothing wrong with it considering it had 330,000 km on it

[NotFast]

[MilTownSHO]

$50 for my stickshift 89 DX Coupe. Red with black interior. Had a sunroof, matching painted body panels, lots of other "rare" options as I later found out from this website. Had 173k (I think) when I got it, sold it at 174k when the alternator went out

[XxDark_AccordxX]

DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE GOTTEN YOUR MONEY'S WORTH OUT OF IT?
The real reason i bought it was becuz my dad owned it and tho it had its problems, i knew all the things that was wrong with it. I didnt wana buy some car off someone and not know what i was getting. Now that its fixed im glad i bought it. Accords are really reliable vehicles if you take care of them

[Hash_man_Se_i]

My dad bought the Se-i in about '94 with 80,000kms on it for $10,000CDN. The thing was MINT. I then bought it off my sister last september for a whopping $1 with 220,000kms.

[Forgar_88]

Well lets see here..... paid $1200 originally and then when it was sold at that auction I am buying it from the guy there for $1800.....stupid some will say, but i love my car!

[88LX-iSedan]

Paid $2300.00, with 150k miles.. Blew the engine about a year later, $1200.00 for "new" engine + installed. Been a bit over two years, need a head gasket now.. wich i'm still waiting to do/get done. ..I have no idea how much i've spent in misc' parts/items

[AD9SloAccrd]

i bought my 89 LX for $1700 last year and have spent hundreds of dollars in repairs

[PortugalFocus]

[halxi]

[88accordalltheway]

2750 in near mint two years ago, few dents on pass side(which i still have). Other than that, its turned around quite a bit, it was pretty ugly looking.

[AccordEpicenter]

Lol... kevizzle you and i did the same grille/eyelid/corner marker silver spray paint

[buds302]

man i must have missed this thread LAST YEAR!! but neway i paid 500 bucks from the j-yard! no dents no scratches new tires and everything worked!!!! including the radio!!! but the down side to it. it had one minor flaw.well actually three. one it had a broken timing belt. then it came without a muffler. and it has a bad syncro in thrid gear. i bought it and paid 200 down and paid the dude the rest of it a week later. and then picked up the car. some son of a bitch stole the friggin hood release cable!! go figure?!!! but oh well easy fix. so i tow it home. about three miles. put it in the garage and went down to the autoparts store bought a timing belt and twenty minutes later i was flyin down rt 11 like i just stole something!!!!!! man i tell you with 145000 miles on it when i bought it in oct of 03 it now has 189000 on it and i have replaced the alt and the battery since then. also gone through a couple sets of brakes and tires but who doesnt? the car has never let me down!!


ill say that and the fucker will break down tommorow you watch!

[acco-R-d]

i bought my 89' LX-i for $1000, but it had no A/C, which was a cheap fix

[leia]

$1000 2 years ago. Garaged its whole life till I got it, very minor dents.
New clutch, new timing belt, new tires just before I bought it (the woman's son's were too stupid to want to learn to drive.....they got the '98 Subaru wagon, also stick).
Sat in a garage not running for 3 years, but new battery, fuel filter, oil and oil filter brought it back from the dead and passed inspection.

Of course I dented it up :( I think I got a hell of a deal. 168k when I got it.
The woman I got it from is a good family friend, and I like her cuz she only buys stick and takes awesome care of her cars. She rolls in a bimmer of some sort now.

[Ace]

No Kidding I paid $175.00 for my dx

[geesnow]

$250- runs great- getting paint soon- then the transformation begins!!

[3gn86lxi]

$800 almost 2 years ago I think. Smashed drivers door, oil leaks galore, and a surging idle.
I now have wayyyyyyyyy too much into it!! Getting a parts car for a dash I still need, will get paint soon, and I will be done.

[Mike87accordlxi]

I paid 1500 for my 4door 87 lxi with safety and etest

[895spdforfree]

i got mine for free, 4 door 89 lxi. I saved it from the junkyard. All i did was patch the radiator, a ball joint, and timing belt and it ran like a champ, until recently when my clutch went out :)

[gfrg88]

i paid $1,250 for mine. its been running great since then:)

[frankie89]

$800 bucks like 5 years ago..and still going, i got it with 121,000 miles and im only da 3rd owner. now its almost at 193,000 . ahhh good times...

[jman123]

$250 - 89 LX with 182K miles only minor surface rust (none on wheel wells), just bought it June 2005. Could not pass it up with an engine that ran so strong.

Replaced auto trans, patched the exhaust holes, fixed the "winking headlight", replaced radiator hoses, connected the disconnected vacuum hoses all 6 of them, replaced fried coil and sp plug wires + plugs, pcv valve,
Its just about legal - gotta get smog tested!

Still working on:
- A/C issue (http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=45726) - need this with daily 98 degree temps here. Could not find any posts on this one.
- 3 windows that are in various phases of disrepair - one works fine, no rear speakers (previous owner cut wires at bundle).
- A few pesky oil leaks - chasing one always leads to more.

[EvilPenciler]

I got my 89 lx for free and wrecked it recently. The fender was rubbing agaist the alternator. So I decided it wasnt worth the money to bail it out of the junkyard. I only put about 1500$ into it over the years and it needed alot more.

[BITESIZE]

$2500 for the red 89 lxi hatch, and $200 for the 87 blue lxi hatch

[Deadhead]

wow, i feel like i got ripped off :(

1150 for it with 235K. The engine looked clean, at that time i knew nothing about cars.... sounded good, so we bought it. Found out later it was running on 3 cylindars, all fuel injectors leaked. TW sensor, fuel injectors, distributer, EGR valve, Fast idle control valve, thermostat, and a tune up later, she's running fine.

But we got ripped off at the mechanic....... he charged us 1000 for the fuel injectors and distributer with labor, the dist didn't need replaced, just the cap.

I hate that guy.......

[Ludi Mali]

1k for 87 lx and 1400 for 89lx-i

[bucc]

bought mine a year ago for $500 had a hole in the muffler and the a/c doesnt work. that's it all fixed now though,except for the a/c

[ACCORD1.8CARB]

[Slipknotcraig133]

I found mine in a field for 300 bucks with a siezed motor but the guy had another one and he gave it to me for free. But it was siezed as well so i got another one and it was good to go. You can tell that it was found in a field because i found a dead mouse under my back seat when i pulled them out.

[Vanilla Sky]

$550 and i overpayed by about $600

[Acidbath88accordlx]

Bought my 88 lx Last year in um... october i want to say.... for $450. the guy was selling it for $550 and i agreed to pay it but for some reason he went down on the price as soon as i agreed on $550 (now i understand why! and if you saw the pics you do to...) no ac.... gauge lights don't work at night, engines spraypainted (that guy was a !@#$ing idiot!), replaced passenger side cvs twice, drivers side once, ball joints, etc. etc.

[Sabz5150]

$1800 about four years ago.

[Cheeseburger]

[gp02a0083]

[Acid X]

$2100 in february of '05, 116k miles, mint condition except for two small rust spots which were jsut covered up with touch up paint, and a few small dings and keyhole scratches.

I'm the second owner, and have all the records of maintenance from the year it was bought to now. Runs perfect, no problems. Though i think i'm going to be contributing to it having problems by putting money into the motor, lol.

[spanky]

i paid $75 bucks from my neighbor who just bought a crx a couple months ago and he had the accord sitting. it needed a header pipe and a muffler. i found a header pipe last week at a local jy.here's the specs
88 accord lxi
72k mi
89 lx-i engine w/ 5spd tranny (engine with 62k miles)
paint is fading and it needed a new hood and fender. it runs like a fucken crack head.

[AccordNut]

$2200 back in Feb. 1999, 124K miles. car came w/o 5th gear and the stock rear spoiler broke in half and was placed in the trunk. My first car was an 86 lxi 4d, paid $950 for that in 98 w/ 224k

[myaccord7]

$150 only needed a battery and alt.

[Swap_File]

I got my 89 Se-i 4 door for free. The previous owner had been replacing the engine in it, and while it ran it had many small problems. He got a BMW and his mom wanted it out of their garage.

It came with manual transmission in the back seat (auto currently installed), an old engine with a thrown rod, several pails of random parts and bolts that they figured were not needed, and an old set of tires. It had no AC, but I got a new AC system from a junkyard for $40 and almost have it installed.

Other than still being rusty (I plan to fix that soon), I have manged to get it running good. The only problem I have now is that the parking pawl (in the transmission) is still broken. Good thing the parking brake works.

[phrenology]

$350 for Mad Max...the 88 LXi. The paint was gone, interior pretty shot...radio was possesed, the sun roof broken, the front end completely bent. I took it to Midas or some shitty place and they gave me the front end alignment feedback sheet and just started laughing. Boy that car was more crooked than a New York City banker, but it could excellerate like crazy. That thing wouldn't die...too bad I had to put it out of its misery to transplant that sweet sweet A20A3!

Now it shall live again in the form of Hatchmaster Flash!!! Muhahahahahahahaha! Alright fellas bear with me I'm on cold medication. My brain is barely intact. Argh...that's what I get for licking a public toilet seat...damn you Mr. Eff and your bar bets...JUST KIDDING FOLKS! :barf:

[lostforawhile]

2500 had 2000 worth of engine internal work too, YOU LICKED A TOILET? :barf: how many had you had at the time? i saw someone lick the bar rail one time,of course they were drunk and crawling on the floor,when they tried to start a conversation with it ,thats when they got thrown out. :kekeke:

[mkymonkey]

i paid $300 for my lxi. i work for a tow truck company and we actually towed this guy for being abandonded at some apartment complexes we have a contract with. the lady didnt pick it up for about 35 days, by california law we are obligated to lean any vehicle after a 72 hour period. so after the 30 days we're required to keep it before selling it, my boss sold it to me for only 300. he was actually going to sell it for 1500 but he said, "hey its a perk of the job, you get a great deal on a towed/leaned car!"

so good deal, it came with 180721 mi on it. so far, after having it only 21 days i have already put 948 mi on it. and filled the tank only 3 times....man you got to love those honda engines!

[1985accord]

Not exactly a 3rd gee but close. Picked up a 85' accord hatch 12,500 miles perfect condition for 600 bucks. After a new fuel pump it was good as new.

[1ajs]

the million k 3gee was bought new for 14,000$ cdn at the brandon honda dealership in 1987

[Baveara]

got mine for $450 a year ago and since iv'e went through a radiator a clutch 6oil changes a fan the small one three air filter assembleys and now i'mm still trying to fix a d*mn alternater. Oh what a delicate web we weave

[BlueBead]

lets see the list...
87 carbed auto hatch: $600 needed brake pads and halfshafts(RIP)
88 FI 5spd sedan: $390 needed head gasket installed and headwork (current)
86 5spd carbed sedan: $250 now fully stripped parts car (getting towed this week)
89 auto carbed sedan: $425 took off rims and tint; now fixing up to make some $$

[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

I paid 3200 for my Accord in 02

[Baveara]

hey got new one $400 2door white needed struts installed they were in the pass seat. selling the factory wheels off it too

[Pana23]

1200.oo in 2002, for auto.Lx 4 door

[Pro_Mod_Accord]

1988 LX $280.00 > clean no rust, motor knocked but ran, excellent paint and body, new tires.
- also got a rusted out parts 1989 car with a "blown motor" with 85,000 miles on it

Reality:

reason motor knocked> only had 3 pistons, the connecting rod let got and smashed into fragments, only 1/2" high of the piston was left, when I took the head off it looked oK, until I tapped it with a hammer and it fell right in.
yah, the 0psi of compression kinda confussed me at first..

Parts Cars:

LOL..the dumb shit had a bad ground wire, it's was broke off,,,the motor fired up the first time...he thought it was seized...LOL

Did a motor swap and new muffler and it past certification,,,all for under $500.00...

[v3rs3]

I paid $80 last week for it. Runs perfect, just needed an accesory belt. Put it on, jumped it and drove it home. It also needed somethings like taillights, side mirrors and a good bath b/c someone shot it up with paintballs.

[jman123]

I just picked up my 2nd 3gen sedan!
This one is a 89 Lxi for $375, 152K miles. Previous owner said it has a seized engine, but I am now believing it to be a fuel system problem. A little troubleshooting this weekend should give me the answer. If the engine is dead...oh well. It has the exact same paint color as my LX (seattle silver)...the LX has hood and trunk paint peeling off (like Nate's) so I can pull off the hood, trunk, etc if its dead. Aside from the not starting issue...its a great looking 3geez inside and out!

My LX I bought June 2005 182K miles...I only paid $250 for but needed an auto tranny, plus a few minor things (A/C charge, exhaust patching, tune up). Now I have just over $1400 in it and it runs good and strong, gets 30 - 35 mpg, and is now my daily driver.

I am now officially addicted to 3geez....and my wife is sooooo thrilled out it

[theDougler]

i payed 1700 for my 4dr lx auto

[86-accord-lxi]

$100 for my 86 lxi. only prob is it won't shift from 1st to 2nd on its own.
(auto trans)

[white ricer]

1,100 with 130,000 miles and a kick as sterio.. should be picking up an 81 rx-7 tomarrow for 50 bucks..

[snoopyloopy]

got it from my godmother for my birthday last year. so a grand total of $0.

[Feuerstoss]

Purchased my '88 LX manual for $2,400 in May of '04. 175,120 on it at the time of purchase, from the original owner. He was an older gentleman, and had taken immaculate care of the car throughout its entire life... it ran and still runs as if it were new. There are small rust spots on the rear fenders and some hail damage, plus a couple door dings and someone hitting it in the front fender while I owned it(still real mad about that). I haven't put any money into it other than gas and oil, at least until recently. Now it's sporting an SEi center console(and cupholders), better speakers(stock deck, though), better headlights, and a few tweaks. I'm starting to get addicted to tweaking it... hehe.

[b8er]

just got my 89 2 door se-i for 250 bucks, motors sized but big deal, im pretty happy

[lostforawhile]

yea you should be able to get a motor cheap,especially on here,sei 250? WOW!

[AccordDX86]

1000 for my 86 DX Hatch. Needs new paint, some rust spots (most rust is in the rear wheel wells), and could use new seats (seat covers make the interior look fine though). With 98,000 on the clock when I got it. Along with a brand new brake system, carb had just been rebuilt and a brand new windshield.

[charlesb2003]

Paid $2000 for my 87 LX-i sedan, which I sold a year later for $2000 to buy a 92 Acura Legend. After burning up 2 engines in that car, I just bought an 87 LX-i hatch for $1500. It's in great shape, shiny paint, clean interior, no rips... engine and tranny like new. just has some suspension and steering issues.

[Selfmindead]

I paid $400 for mine which I think is about $250US, but my mate won it at an auction & no one bidded for it, then he moved to canada & sold it to me for what he paid. Then the other day I got offered a whole 3g for $100

[russiankid]

$1500 for 89 LX 5-speed

[Dmitry]

$ 2300 about year ago with 180 000 on it.
During this year I changed clutch, shock absorbers and springs, front ball joints and all bushings.And rear speakers, and alarm system, and tires. Fixed some problems with injectors, leaky radiator, leaky sunroof, leaky rear brakes, slow front windows.
Am I happy now?
NO! NOW I HAVE GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN!!!:barf:

[speedpenguin]

i didn't pay for mine. my parents were getting rid of it, so i jsut started paying the insurance on it.

[3sgte@daspeedof]

By chance I blew my tranny a month earlier, and I had been helping my friend find a v6 camry for the last couple of weeks, the day after we found one, his old 89 lxi(now Mine :), dropped its cat on his driveway. He told me I could have it, and for me to come and pick it up. I did that last weekend and I have it running better then he ever has. Best of all it was free, I never thought I would say it but my stupid celica is just suckin up all my money.

[A18A]

$0.00

[Cheeseburger]

enough...

[frankie89]

800 bucks..

[Tcoop1468]

I bought 2 for a 150 bucks. 1 of them is just a parts car though.

[getready]

$800, first time i ever used ebaymotors (to buy an actual car). The car was in excellent shape, for a car as old as this. Probably some old lady's car or something. I got it from Pennsylvania :)

[B16KILLA]

$800,then another $900 4 my motor and tranny fully rebuilt,new radiator, axels.The car didnt really need it but i'm planning on going turbo so i need a good foundation to build on.

[StressSolutions]

[Strahan]

87 LXi hatch, $200 from eBay, just needed a clutch and headlight. It's gone now :crying: and I now have a 4G EX $1500 from eBay :)

[Pico]

[hewines]

£440, that's about $700 i think, for an aerodeck auto.
Only 75k on the clock, one owner and full Honda dealership servicing up till about a year ago. Bit rusty around the rear wheel arches but this car makes me smile whenever i drive it.

[oldskool87]

[Fushi]

The only thing I had to do is replacing the timing belt (done).

[aerokid1987]

[3ghondaerodeck]

It did 92,350 miles and it looks good

[ghettogeddy]

[MessyHonda]

my mother got it from the delership. $17,000(usd)after interest and all that crap w/ 12 miles on the odo. the car was the show car inside the showroom. she got it on memorial day and the car sellsman sold 5 hondas that day so he hooked her up with door trim but 17 years took its toll on the trim and i took them out and degressed the jams but you can tell the original color faded but hey its a honda paint job not a ferrari

[Whistler225]

$100.00 with 115k. '86 LX, 4 door auto. It has intermittent idling issues (sometimes too high, sometimes it stalls when I come to a stop), but it drives awesome and has plenty of pep (it runs a tad rich....I smell gas sometimes). It has very minor body blemishes/rust (see my garage). Could use a few things like an AC compressor mounting bolt, a new fuel filler tube, new seal around sunroof, new motor for rear driver window.

Came with a brand new exhaust, plugs, wires (Bosch, being replaced by NGK this weekend courtesy of a friend here in 3Geez), thermostat, tires.

Gettin soon: Complete tune-up/diagnostics/fuel system reworking by Honda mechanic, timing belt, dist. cap and rotor, all necessary bodywork for repainting, and two tone paint job (gunmetal gray metallic on top, black on bottom), summer wheels (I'll be checking jy's for Integra alloys), rear deck spoiler (hopefully Prelude or Integra factory spoiler).

[Bones]

89 LXi auto in "Laurel Blue"

$3800 at a dealership that accepted it for a trade in. They normally wouldn't have accepted a car this old but made an exception because of the great shape it is in and the low mileage. 94k on the speedo and the only thing that doesn't work/look like new is the electric antenna because it's kinked.

[reanimator420]

3 easy payments of 150$ and came with 4ws rims and seats

[sinisterfuzzy]

i paid $1300 for mine, 120,000 miles, almost perfect everything, everything works, the almost is the dents on the roof from sitting under an acorn tree, i got most of them though covered.

[racerrck]

My son paid $400 for his 86 lx been in storage since 2001 when his uncle left for Iraq new battery a piece of wire to short across the 70 amp fuse and poured gas down the carb for 30 minutes and we drove it 65 miles home and pulled the carb to rebuild now waiting to reinstall he's only 13 so he has a little while before he's licensed

[yisaycha]

I got mine for free, a friend of my dad had it sitting in his garage. he was moving and I needed a car so he gave it to me 86 lxi, had a torn cv boot. and for my 89 lxi coupe it was free too, but the own hit a curve and bent something, but I cant find out what it is. but both of them were free, its the money thats going into them that is costing me.

[T-Funk]

well i guess i could post again with my second accord's price :)

1800 cdn mint gold accord, except the engines got a leak now and the suspension was factory and finally needed to be replaced

[sporkHSP]

paid $2000 in 2002...automatic LX, a/c worked, and it had 74,000 original miles on it. I got $1200 from insurance when I wrecked it... after converting to manual and misc. body damage from a-hole drivers.
paid $300 for my hatch... tons of rust and needed a new clutch and brakes. traded it in for $800 after fixing those, so I broke even.

[bullard123]

[SQ is the SQUAD]

my hatch i got for $100 with a blown 5spd tranny, the coupe cost me $1300 pluse a 8 hour drive

[REn0]

got the 87 lxi for 1000$ but only paid 100 of it, mom got the other 900$ for my bday, but ive probly put 1000$ into it now myself on interior and paint, and audio, and mom paid like 1400$ to get a bunch of stuff fixed

[w261w261]

I have the original window sticker for my SE-i. Price was $17,995 plus $245 shipping. At the time these were sold, dealers were selling them for more than list, or tacking on worthless stuff like "paint sealer" or "rustproofing" and adding a grand to the price. It came out later that dealers were actually paying off some employees of Honda America to get a better allocation.

I paid $2500 for mine in Oct of 2001 with 86,000 miles. Now 186,000, and never ran better. Just made a 500 mile round-trip from CT to Ithaca NY in one day, including some old-road twisties where the Eibach/Bilsteins/Dunlops really shined. It's a great car.

[drago742]

I paid 500 for mine and it only needed a power regulator box

[killa_16]

paid 590 4 a 92 lx 4 door (lots o' miles) 250k!! nuthin wrong clean az hell

[Feuerstoss]

I paid $2,400 for my '88 LX back in May of '04. It sounds a bit steep, especially with 175K on the clock, but I purchased it from the original owner who bought it here in Colorado, kept it immaculately maintained(he had every reciept detailing everything he had done to the car since new, unfortunately he never gave me the records) and garaged since he bought it. So far the only trouble I've had with it are some vac leaks on some of the carb lines that caused it to die when it was warmed up at idle in cold weather. It's not completely fixed, but I think that's a fair price for a clean one-owner car that has proven to be about as reliable as Ol' Faithful.

[juggaloeuro210]

Paid 300 for mine about a month ago. 166k needed alternator and water pump, no ac and the never ending oil and power steering leaks are still there. not to mention the title hasnt been transfered in 5 years but its been sold about 3 times. back of title filled with names

[njpeter]

letssee....

Dateline 1986, my families first accord..an 86 LX wow what a great car ( too bad my mom drove it and sold it when I was in my V8 stage)

Dateline 1990..a '87 LX near mint with 37k miles..from a dealer $8800!

Dateline 2000 the 87 catches fire from a PS leak (oops should have fixed that) and I score an 88 LX private party with 68 k original miles for $3000 ( btw the 87 has no rust at all, and I still have it in the back 235k miles or so) I only got stuck with it twice115k miles with a timing belt and at 200k miles when the ps fluid caught fire, oterhwise never seen the hook. Great car for my 100 mile a day drive

Dateline 2001- $1! 88 DX parts car ( no shiat) ebay buy it now, trade an old 82 fiat for the dolly job out to NJ) Pulled the engine/auto tranny before disposal(see below)

Dateline 2004 88 LX with 146kmiles from a scumfilled PA dealer who sold me the car knowing the tranny was bad-$1500 ( was a one owner car), cost me $400 to ship it from Pittsburgh ( could have sworn the ebay auction said Philidelphia). Auto Tranny breaks at 164k and then the windshield cracks. My wife got one good summer out of it and the a/c worked good. I've been stripping that car ever since ( body was good) I figure I learned a lesson and I still have a head/carb in good shape and some other expensive hard to find bits at my disposal

Dateline 2005 Ebay 86 LX-i with 135k original miles ( ebay buy now $305), owner had a secret compatment in the rear armrest filled with all the receipts and a leather case that had what looked like a small bag of heroin and some hypodermic needles ( ick!) Car had a brand new set of michelins with 200 miles on them(cost was $425 mounted and balanced with all new lugnuts) Luckily I'm not arrested when the car is delivered, that dealer took the $1 car away as a favor( was getting moldy and had been stripped clean he was real interested in the title for some reason ( :0)). This car starts one one shot no mater how long it's been sitting..body and interior rough, but the PA car promises an interior someday, I soooo wantd an LX-i with a factory sunroof.

Dateline 2007, I can't get my daily driver ( 240k miles now) to pass NJ inspection, so I snag from craig's list an 88 LX with 200k miles in decent shape for $900, fix a broken vac line and it runs like a charm. Thee folks put over $600 into the driver side power window and it is about to fail again (rubbing on the door frame I guess) Car was naer mint on the interior, but it's blue..so I won't keep for too long...still looking for a sweet LXi now that I have some breathing room.

[2oodoor]

njpeter, your a hard core 3geezer, much respect.

$800- DX I bought it from a guy who wanted me to fix the carb problem. He had two other Honda's so I made him an offer for the car. The carb never acted up on me for two weeks then, oh man did it ever cut up on me. AC did not work, and I drove the car about three months and the head gasket blew. The way it was cutting up I thought it jumped timing. The car never ran hot, but I did wind it out pretty good a few days before it happened. It only had about 6000 miles on the previous head job. Have a lot of service papers on the car and a log book of oil changes.
I did weber conversion, head job, changed out a bunch of oil seals at 301K miles
The car had 289K miles on it when I got it, now it has 308K

[thegreatdane]

Bought my '87 2.0i-16 with 29.800miles in germany for ~$2085 then had to pay taxes to get it registered here in Denmark so by the time everything was payed for and it was on the road it ended up at ~$4500.

Cars are generally much more expencive here though since we pay 180pct tax for a new car.

[Shadowkat]

Actually SE-i was the top of the line in 88-89. Accords now like a base model is $19,000.

True the SE-i was the top in 89, but because we bought it so early in the model year (calendar year 88) the se-i wasn't availible yet. My dad probably would have gotten the SE-i if they'd had any at the dealership at the time. and how much would a loaded accord cost these days? something comperable to an LX-i?

180 Percent?

[Shadowkat]

Man you got any pics? How many miles does it have now?

Yeah I have some pics of when it was still an automatic. Since these pics I've converted it to a 5 speed and replaced the engine. Not sure exactly how many miles the engine has on it, probably about 160000 but I'm not sure. The last engine didn't really need to be replaced but leaked oil in 3 places so i figured why not while i was replacing the tranny. but anyways the odometer is still the same so it reads how many miles are on the chassis. about 250000 now. here's a link to the pics:

$300 with leaking trans, master, PS, and oil. Cracked radiator, mangled core support, blown shocks, rotted bushings, torn motor mounts, bad axles, and balding tires, but all fixed now.:D Not exactly a $300 car anymore though.:(

[1990DSM]

I payed $680.00 a little over a year ago in Ontario and after fixing the rear quarters with fiberglass and touchup, it got certified and E-tested without any issues. It had 286 000 KM on it when I bought it and the A/C still works!

[blh1983]

I bought my '86 Accord LX-i w/ 5 Speed for $1,100. 4 Door Sedan sitting on 17" Tenzo's. Car has working A/C, moonroof, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, power antenna (need new antenna). Seller claimed it has a rebuilt engine with 80,000 miles on the rebuild. The engine inside is very clean - but it has a very very minor oil leak (oil never hits the ground and the car doesn't burn the oil). Since the last oil change 1 month ago I haven't had to add oil. Everything on the car works great. But it does this wierd thing until it's warmed up. It idles normal on cold startup (1500 RPM's), but if I don't let it warm up for 10 minutes then when I come to a stop the idle bounces between 500rpms and 800rpms (and it shakes) it does this a few times usually shaking a little harder and then the idle self adjusts and normalizes out. This isn't a big deal to me. The wheels and tires make the car worth the $1,100. Otherwise I would have only paid $900 for the car.

I paid $500 for an 89 LX with 200 some thousand miles. I'm now at 250+ thousand miles, only issue it's had was the water pump.

[twofast4u]

got mine for freee!!! the customer couldnt pay my dad so he gave us his car... when i got it it had 365 000 km on it and it was a carb with 5 speed. a few yrs later i bought a 89 efi for 100 then did and carb to efi swap... and here i am today with 3 paint jobs later :P

[hanginbyaccord]

how hard is a carb to efi swap ?

[twofast4u]

well it took about 2.5 months for me because i didnt have a hoist and was doing everything on stands in my home garage...but the how to on here is GOLD it was my guide to complete the project..

[russiankid]

how hard is a carb to efi swap ?
Hardest part is fuel tank replacement.

[hanginbyaccord]

no I mean like I have efi now, but all i can find is carb motors in the yards, how hard would it be to buy a carb motor and put my efi stuff on it ?

[wasgivenanaccord]

Work for a garage and the customer was SUPER pissed off at the accord's "quirkiness" that he came in one day (after spending a couple thousand dollars) and wanted it sent to the scrap yard - the boss was gonna junk it, i had been eyeing the car for a while and jumped on it. Landed me a free car with a brand new front end, new brakes, a panasonic 12-disc changer, two brand new goodyear tires...

I assume it needs one new fuel injector, and has that annoying coolant leak...

not a bad deal, eh?

[snoopyloopy]

no, not at all, lol. unless it's the leak under the intake manifold. then you'll want to murder someone after trying fixing those.

[89hondaSOHC]

Mine was free....... All i had to do was replace the timing belt

[Bass Man]

I got mine for free from my brother because he was moving to Michigan and didn't need 2 cars.

I call that a steal! 214,000 miles and runs very strong.

[New3rdGenOwner]

Got my EXi Coupe for $500 with 365,xxx Km's on it, engine and tranny are smooth as butter

[greentee76]

Paid 400$ for my 88 LX. Needed a battery. Probably could have gotten it for cheaper but I bought it from a friend that really needed the money. It was a better deal than loaning him the money and he wanted the car gone. I replaced the battery and gave it a minor tuneup, then left it sit for 1-1/2yrs:banghead:. When the DD hurt itself again I pulled it out and had to replace alternator. Some previous owner had replaced the fuse for the cooling fan with the wrong amp fuse which lead to overheating issue. I replaced fuse and the missing relay and the cooling issue is fixed, unfortunatley not before the head was damaged. 100$ for head from j/y and she runs pretty well.
Sorry for the long post.

[Doward]

$50, had a bad rear upper balljoint.

[88_spork_lxi]

$250. needed upper rear ball joints. 170,000mi.

[Dr_Snooz]
