Well, I talked an extremely close relative of mine into purchasing a 1987 Accord DX 5Spd. over an 89' LXi Auto (No A/C, 13K more miles, chocolate milk in the radiator, bad belts, and a bad axle), a 91' 240sx SE 5Spd (primered and dented, no stereo, slashed seats, bad CV Joints, leaking sunroof, a hole in the radiator the diameter of a quarter on top, a hole in the hood and other bad things) and some other unmentionable cars. The 87' was pretty mint and had a fresh aqua paint job, new goodyear eagle II tires, extremely clean interior, R134-A retrofit with a fresh recharge, maintenance records for the last 3 years, brand new fans and an optima redtop, and 131,000 mi.. The problems are: no speakers, a hole in the rear deck, no scissor jack, the front bumper is rubbing on the right hand side driver's side tire a little (the bumper needs to be adjusted, thats all).
The prices of the three mentioned cars are as follows:
1. 87' Accord DX $1000
2. 89' Accord LXi $1995
3. 91' 240sx $1000
He had to go to work soon after we picked the car up, so I was unable to correct some things for him in the limited time frame. I did recommend that he visit this site in the future.
I love those cars (3Geez) because they are extremely dependable and the availability to find replacement parts is stupendous.
