Well I know a lot of people have owned their accords for a while before joining this site. But its good to know how reliable these cars are. I've owned my 3gee since Sept 2002 but I didn't find this site until Nov 03. Funny thing is I had a few mods done already before I found this site lol

Old? I guess I am not the oldest on this forum at 42, but I might be one of the oldest. I have had my Accord since July of 1989.

Are you the original owner? Did you buy it new off the lot?


I feel a little old now. Its been a while.

I bought mine back in 1993 while I was still in high school.

My grandmother bought the LXi new at McNatt Honda in Lewisville in March of 89. She was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer a few months later and never really drove it again before passing ownership to me. When I received it there were 1,500 miles on the clock and it had been sitting in my parents driveway for about two months. I would rather not have gotten a new car that way, but I am still quite grateful. A 24-year-old kid in 1989, I was not about to run out and buy a $15,000 car. I still have the original window sticker.

Nope, your not the oldest, i'm 50 and guess that I am not the oldest here either. I bought mine new at the Honda dealer in July of 1989.

Edit:
I bought my 77 Hatch in April of 79 and my 82 LX Hatch in Feburary 85.

I've owned my LX-i since July 2000, so just over 7 years now. My mom bought it from the original owner in May 1997. She crashed it in March 2000, it sat for a few months, and that's how I got it :) No regrets.... for a free car it's served me AMAZINGLY well... taken me everywhere I wanted to go and never once let me down :)

I think i bought my first one in 1997, second in 1999, and my third one which i still have in 2000 or 2001.

I wish i could have bought one brand new off the lot. Im starting to feel like i have been around for awhile but even after buying my new legacy i still appreciate my accord.

My mom and dad bought mine new, with almost 4 miles on it, in September of 1989. It was the in the last batch of 3g's headed to Germany since the 4th gens were starting to be sold. I've been driving the car for 3 years, and before that the car sat for 6 years.

It probably looks different cause I got some new rims couple months ago. The paint is about 3 years old, I need to re-do the clear on it. Paint gun I was using started acting up. I might post some good pics of it in the future.
