Getting Ready to Sell mine.

[pmpete]

Well its been a faithful friend for almost 18 years but I think its time to part ways.
My 89 LXi Coupe 5sp with 242k is getting a little needy for my free time.
Any tips on best way to sell it and what I should ask for it?
Any member interested in picking it up let me know I'd just as soon sell it to someone who will appreciate it.
Thanks,
Paul

Sorry I live in Hillsboro,
I was looking to get about 1500 for it.
Everything pretty much still works on it, even the AC.

yeah that is a bit of miles on a original engine. but thats why they made the best offer...good luck on the sale.

[pmpete]

I know some of you might think I'm asking a bit more than some of you have paid for yours but they were most likely not in a good of shape as mine.
Here are a few pictures of it and the tires were brand new this winter.

Here is a link to a thread with picts of when it was new.

well yeah the whole car might be in good shape and look in excellent condition but still the high mileage is still its downfall. i just sold my car which only has 88,000 miles on it and i only got $1000 when i asked $1500 for it. blue book said it should've been around $1655. but since my car was a CARB that was its downfall. but yeah anyways that is a VERY nice looking LX-i. i would most deff buy it for at least $700-800. but i cant buy another car till i get back in 6 months. =[

[pmpete]

Thanks,
I just posted it on Craigs List had one nibble but no bites yet.

whats that fish badge on the back mean? i've seen it on so many accords =/ oh and cool, it has a arm rest, lol

[AZmike]

Around here that car could get $1600-1800 pretty easily, but I'm not sure what the market is like in Oregon. My LXi sedan with 225k, steel wheels, oxidized paint, and marginal A/C went for $1700.

lol, usually means christian.

and armrest ftw. capitalize on that and market it as a rarity to justify whatever price you're asking.

[Civic Accord Honda]

OMG .... WOW .... MINT :jawdrop: .... THAT ...... CAR........ MAKES....... ME...... WANT.....A........ COUPE............REAL........BAD!!!......drolls... .......

[Tomisimo]

I suggest to hit this rare chance for anyone interested in bye'n this Accord. I know I would if I had money to ship it over seas...
First of all this guy is a Baptist an honest person,,, as far as I can tale...
Correct me if I'm wrong pmpete

[MessyHonda]

all it needs is a coupe spoiler and it would be a lil bad ass car....i wish i could find a coupe that clean they seam more sporty but the sedans have more of a sleeper status since they are lil fam cars.

[Silent_Hill]

is it original paint?

[guaynabo89]

wow looks nice.

Reminds me of when I bought mine from the original owner in 93.

[Vanilla Sky]

Interesting that the car was purchased at the dealership where a fellow 3gee member currently is employed. I've bought several parts from Duval Honda myself.

[86AccordLxi]

OP: I'm pm'd you regarding your car. Please get back to me :)

Alex

[pmpete]

Thanks for the complements from all of you. I looks like Alex may get it this weekend and get legit on the forum again.
Yes I am a Christian and good guess that I'm a "swimmer" slang for Baptist.
I did buy it from Duval in Jacksonville back in November of 89. Nice folks got a smokin deal on it. Glad I got the 89 instead of holding out for the new 90 model. 90s were real POS for a lot of issues. Nevermind how ugly the were IMHO.
Yes it still has the original paint.
I look foreward to what Alex will do with it if he buys it.
Then I have to decide what I'm going to replace it with.....
7G or 8G maybe CRV?
Checked out the new 8G in Dallas. Very nice love the room and low beltline like the 3G had.
Paul

[86AccordLxi]

Yup! Can't wait.

Thanks paul!

step 1: BIG ricer wing
step 2: neons.

hahhahha. I could never do that, don't worry. It will stay stock and get me to work and back. Vigor rear sway bar and a cd player are the only mods I'll end up doing (famous last words).

Alex

[bobafett]

Don't worry Paul I will make sure it sees some good mods and if Alex tries to put TSW's on it I will kill him. :)

89s PAWND more tho

more power, bigger brakes, looks better.

[pmpete]

Alex you stopped my heart for second with ricer wing comment. Thank God you were kidding.
A monochrome paintjob and those LXi Sedan stock alloys I haven't put on it yet would look very good. Kind of like the 1G Integra Special Edition.

hahaha.

No, I will keep it looking the same. I *would* like to throw some struts and springs under it, and maybe some fat 5's or ls webs, but I will more than likely leave it stock and perfect.

I seriously can't wait. I'm very very excited :)

Alex

[2ndGenGuy]

Dayum! Sweet car! So clean! Congrats on the buy!

Step 1. Buy Coupe
Step 2. ????
Step 3. PROFIT!!!

[bobafett]

Step 2. Let Chris convince you to mod the hell out of it.

[86AccordLxi]

Hahahaa. You asshole.

I *need* to leave it stock.

Alex

[2ndGenGuy]

It would look so badass and handle so well with some good suspension. How can you pass that up?

[86AccordLxi]

Because I need to not spend money on it.

The 240 is already expensive enough.

Alex

[2ndGenGuy]

Bah, it's only a little bit of money, just mod it a little, then you can leave it alone. ;)

[86AccordLxi]

Hhahaha. I started tell my gf this morning that I had a line on some struts....she turns to me (with big eyes):

gf: I thought you were going to leave it alone
me: it's just a couple things lol
gf: uhhuh

.....silence....


Hahhahah. She's hilarious, and knows I can't/won't leave it alone :P
