Hey guyz i haven't been on much since i start working. I work at a Jaguar & Lotus dealership washing cars. I've been looking for some 3g's at car lots and found a 89 accord lxi that i'm seriously thinking about getting, the motor is strong, just needs some body work and other smalls things. I talked them down to $500. I want it, but don't know if i should wait for something better. Just wanted to have ya'lls opinion to talk me into getting it.

Depends on the specs of the car.
the major things to replace are the windshield, sunroof glass, muffler, hood, might need a driver side window motor, it needs two door handles, but i'll shave them anyway, it drives perfect.

It all depends on if you want to invest the time and labor into it.
Im sure if you wait you can find something a little better, but its gonna cost ya.

I've been wanting a project for a while and now that i have the money, i think this car would be perfect. I could wait and get something better, but i could also work on this one and have it turn out cheaper then waiting to get another one.

well there's your answer man, you wanted a project car, you can buy it! $500 is a good deal even on a 3gee in bad condition. if you can do most of the work it needs yourself, i'd say go for it. even then, it sounds good. you can buy junk yard parts to fix it up. personally, i'd consider something like that. if the engine, transmission, suspension, and most electrical stuff is working good, go for it.
Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

my car was $550, and i've put about $750 into it, including the cost of the car... not too bad, $750 for a good running car
I'm with you.. if it drives well, then all else is just a sugarcoating. Is it FI or carb? the parts you are looking for are all junkyard parts or maybe you should think about looking for a parts car w/ a blown engine. If you have room those are the best to have; then you can try out stupid ideas without wrecking your ride (see cvergi01....). Thats the best thing after a couple of brews..... when stupid ideas seem cool.
In any case, good luck!
