Hi, my name is Chris and I've recently purchased my very first Honda. It's a 1988 Accord LX, gold in color, and just hit 117,000 miles. I've come across the site several times while searching for various bits of information about the car so I figured I might as well join in on the fun. It's a pleasure to be here.
:welcome: Glad to hear the site has been helpful! When you get a chance, post up some info about your car! Any plans for it? Just a DD? Gonna mod it out?
Well, right now she's my daily driver. Got it at 115,000 miles and according to the previous owner, it's been taken care of religiously. I never know how much of those stories to believe, but with how clean it is, it seems pretty likely. Picked it up for 2,150, which was a bit high considering it's got a couple flaws, but I thought I could do a lot worse on the price. It's got the carbureted 2.0 with an automatic tranny. Couple scratches in the clear coat that I think I can get out eventually, couple little dents but nothing horrible. The worst is a dent on the back corner right between the bumper and taillight. They tried painting that corner gold hoping to make it less noticeable but it had the effect of drawing a bulls eye around it. Luckily I know a paint and body guy who is going to give me a good deal on fixing it. Windshield had a nice crack but I just got it replaced today. Basically just working on getting her back into proper shape.
Welcome from California! Sounds like your car is in great shape. Post pics when you can.
Welcome from Ohio! Hope to see some photos of your car.
I think I've made enough posts to share photos now. I'll get some pics of her up as soon as I get her a bath.
