Free.

...plus repairs. Somewhere around $3k and counting. The upside is that it still looks like a beater!!!!

Yikes!

Yeah, and it still looks like a beater. It was about $700 just getting it running right (about zero maintenance for a few years before I got it).

Then I burned up the engine...

Then it wouldn't pass smog...

Oh boy.

Thanks man! Someday I'll get pics posted up. I'll be getting a paint job soon and selling my miserable German car to fund some additional improvements. It'll be pretty sweet then. It looks bad right now, but it's a joy to drive. There's just not a newer car that can equal it.

$85us all it needed was tail lights, boot lid, rear bumper, and a light bulb

and like $60US later it went from this:

1900$ a month ago in flawless condition. Not a single thing wrong with it, second owner 275k miles. Score!

[Xybris]

$1800 2 summers ago. 123,000 miles at the time and no issues.

Well I pay for mine $900 with 210,354 miles new clutch, starter, carb, cv joints, axles, timing belt, p/s and a/c conversion to 134-A freon. The only things fix by me was the alternator and all the belts, radiator cap, fuel cap, exhaust pipe, resurface the brake rotors and adjust back brakes. Extras I put only are Sony Xplod Radio with iPod interface and front speakers by Pioneer. Worth every penny...

With 78k miles, $1,500. First owner from WV passed away, car was willed to daughter in NY, I'm the 3rd owner...

Alrighty here goes, my first car and only car i ever own was a black 1988 Honda Accord LX-I Sedan . I bought the car back in 1994 for $5000 when it was mint and beautiful like its off a showroom, 8 years old and had around 100k miles on it. I was 16 and in high school back in 1994 and just gotten my driver ID. Now in 2008, with 234k miles on it I still own it and it still runs strong although the auto tranny is shifting hard and very rough... engine smooth as ever, thats a Honda for you. Over 14 years this cars brought me a lot of joy and was well worth the money. I love this car and so did my many back seat girl friends. hehe. ah the memories!

I was in the market to buy a new Acura TSX or a TL but.... decided to make a long term investment and bought another 3rd gen accord off Ebay for only 835 plus tax. I just pick it up last week, July 25, 2008. I think i got a good deal and planning to drive this one to the ground too as a daily driver car. I might be in my late 50 by then... hehe perhaps with the money I save i might get the car of all cars a use Acura NSX. they go for $15K - 20K now a day. hmm..... best feature off all are the pop up head lights! its like our accord... only cooler.

Anyway, Now i own a blue accord with 70,695 miles. the miles are real after checking Car Fax and all record line up. I didn't think that was possible for a 20 year car. But the car Drive great, Shift and run very smooth. But it all stock and drive a little soft (think toyota, yuck). I feel like i'm 16 year old all over agian! Planing on getting new rims better tires, re Paint, and bolt on a few after market stuff to get stiffer ride. My family think i lost my freakin mind. But people who own 3rd accord know what i mean. Its a passion and a love/hate affair with our car. I'm sure most of us feel the same way.

sorry for the long post, Its been awhile since i post anything on here. but i Love this board. Lets keep on rolling our 3gen Accord!

the car was done beyond fixing and was cut up with a plazma cutter

so if anyone on here is tring to sell or says they have my old 3g you know the deal

[mephi]

Got my first one back in '03 for $2000. Little white '87 LXi hatch with an auto. It was the car that really got me into working on cars. I ended up selling it so I could pay for my wedding 2 years later (lasted a whole year--I should never have sold it).

Just picked up a '87 DX for $650 over the weekend, and the cool thing about it is the guy I sold my LXi to parked it earlier in the year because of break problems. Going to pick that back up and do an EFI conversion in a week.
