Don't ever buy a 3rd generation carburated Accord. There are certain parts that if they break when you take them off you cannot replace them. I broke the EGR tube and I cannot find one anywhere, not even the dealer. Also the starter needs to be replaced and they said I cant get a new one.
Junk yard is a good source.
lol the parts store you're going to is retarded. you can replace the starter! have you tried autozone? whoever told you you cant get a new starter if full of

seriously... i got mine from a junkyard for like $10

Why in the hell couldn't you replace a starter? It's a major component. If replacement parts weren't sold, you probably wouldn't see a 1/4 of these cars on the road.
No projects. Life consumes my time and money.
i dont think you'd see any of them.
if i didnt chop my EGR tube with a hacksaw, i'd offer to send you mine.

sounds like the dealer just wants you to buy a new car... try Majestic Honda. and for the starter... checkers had one pretty cheap.

The dealer can get any parts. The guy at the counter is a retard.

junkyards = #1 source for odd parts
starters, brakes, etc you get at any auto parts
Also, you'd be surprised what Honda can special order. I had to order needle bearings for the automatic and they were able to special order them for me for like $25 a piece

everything but cupholdersOriginally Posted by carotman
They can't order the stuff that was considered "optional" like ths cupholders.... even if it came from the factory on the SE-i. Well, they could order it back in the days but the supply of parts has ended and stopped making them.

the dealer is full of crap they are required by federal law to keep those emission parts
the starter i am using on my '86 accord i took off an '85 Prelude, just had to change the mount bracket on the starter and it was good
Yeah same thing to get the starter to work between automatic and manual transmissions, just change the front end of the starter casing and everything else bolts up.

every car sold in the USA has replacement parts support. its part of the law and its always been done. cars from the 50s and 60s having parts support has to mean something. So check your honda dealer for parts if u need it. Besides, starters can be purchased at Autozone. I got a full bodied Aluminum starter from the junkyard for 10 bux and it was less than a month old, even had the barcode on the bottom of it.
PS: Its Irreplaceable, not unreplaceable. lol. Just busting ur chops :-P
there only required to keep parts 10 years there SAE engineer.
I have an international scout 2 now tell me about finding parts.

nope, for lifetime. It does not matter. If it was manufactured and sold in the US, then it will be made for every single car thats out there. besides, 3gs were manufactured in the US.
