    good buy???

    http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/p...&ac_afflt=none

    no, this shoud not be in the marketplace... i'm seeking facts about the canadian models...

    ok, does that look like a good deal? i mean, i don't know if the canadian models came fully painted like that, and to me, the front end looks like the 86/7 model, not the 88... imma call (if i know for sure i have the $$) and check it out... it looks like a good deal to me

    Just look carefully under the engine at the frame and at the engine bay to make sure no supports are cracked then welded. My car has a new front end (fenders forward) and the supports around the rad. are a little bent but other then that the frame is great and the tires wear perfectly. Oh yeah, also see if the tires are badly worn, that could indicated bent frame. But then again that could also indicate a trashed front suspension.

    Thinkin everything better work on it for that, 3G's go for dirt cheap around S GA and N FL, or for the most part they do.

    Except this guy, he obviously has a crack habit to support

    letting go for $5000

    And one of his crackhead customers

    one of a kind

    I wish I were in a place where honda's went for that cheap. Around here one like that would go for around 4 grand. Mine was more then that and beat to hell.

    And to think I thought it was the neons and strobes, seat covers/shoulder pads, and chrome pedals that made it worth 5k:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

    LOL... good shit

    on the topic of cheap accords, my parents don't want me in anything that remotely looks crappy, and refuse to let me have a "fixer upper"... and to me, i think that's a very fair price considering it's a canadian model sitting in the orlando area in florida...

    and they may not be on crack... the may just be --crackish--

    mom and dad talked to me, and said that mom was gonna be getting an SUV soon (always changin...) and that i'll get the mazda... also when i was talking to the guy about the accord, he siad that it was probably already sold, as he had 2 people aready coming to look at it...

    how many people woud argue that he wanted an old accord above a 2000 626...
