    The real reason i bought it was becuz my dad owned it and tho it had its problems, i knew all the things that was wrong with it. I didnt wana buy some car off someone and not know what i was getting. Now that its fixed im glad i bought it. Accords are really reliable vehicles if you take care of them

    My dad bought the Se-i in about '94 with 80,000kms on it for $10,000CDN. The thing was MINT. I then bought it off my sister last september for a whopping $1 with 220,000kms.

    i bought my 89' LX-i for $1000, but it had no A/C, which was a cheap fix

    $1000 2 years ago. Garaged its whole life till I got it, very minor dents.
    New clutch, new timing belt, new tires just before I bought it (the woman's son's were too stupid to want to learn to drive.....they got the '98 Subaru wagon, also stick).
    Sat in a garage not running for 3 years, but new battery, fuel filter, oil and oil filter brought it back from the dead and passed inspection.

    Of course I dented it up I think I got a hell of a deal. 168k when I got it.
    The woman I got it from is a good family friend, and I like her cuz she only buys stick and takes awesome care of her cars. She rolls in a bimmer of some sort now.

    $800 almost 2 years ago I think. Smashed drivers door, oil leaks galore, and a surging idle.
    I now have wayyyyyyyyy too much into it!! Getting a parts car for a dash I still need, will get paint soon, and I will be done.

    $250 - 89 LX with 182K miles only minor surface rust (none on wheel wells), just bought it June 2005. Could not pass it up with an engine that ran so strong.

    Replaced auto trans, patched the exhaust holes, fixed the "winking headlight", replaced radiator hoses, connected the disconnected vacuum hoses all 6 of them, replaced fried coil and sp plug wires + plugs, pcv valve,
    Its just about legal - gotta get smog tested!

    Still working on:
    - A/C issue (https://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=45726) - need this with daily 98 degree temps here. Could not find any posts on this one.
    - 3 windows that are in various phases of disrepair - one works fine, no rear speakers (previous owner cut wires at bundle).
    - A few pesky oil leaks - chasing one always leads to more.
