    Talking I got a new car!!

    Well, I traded in my old beater 3rd gen yesterday and got a 1991 Accord LX Wagon. It needs some cosmetic work and a few little things don't work on it but it runs strong and other than a couple of dents the body is immaculate.
    I just put the Cadillac in the autotrader so as soon as I sell that I am going to go strong on building a minitruck style Accord.

    First thing I did last night was put a set of Prelude wheels on it. I will eventually go with 19s but not until after I get the air ride for it.

    I like it too much here to leave... I sold my white car almost a year ago and I am still around..


    It will eventually look something like this one:

    It is an LX so it has an F22 in it which is only 125 hp. It feels pretty slow but it isn't terrible. Of course almost everything feels slow after driving my 300 hp Cadillac.

    Theres a guy around here that has a badass accord wagon. I posted pics of it b4. Woodgrain paint, shaved with 18 inch billets its one of the sickest wagons ive seen. Ive always wanted to get an accord wagon and im sure yours will look sick.

    Nice!!!! I was also very interested in getting a 5th gen wagon a while back but they are hard to find here. I thought for a minute the wagon you posted was the one you bought.

    Actually, the taillights are in those little strips in the bumper. Those are reflectors in the back window.
    The LEDs in the bumper are incredibly bright when they light up. It doesn't take a big strip to make them safe.

    I'd only fix up a 3G Aerodeck... or a SIR wagon with the 4-wheel drive.

    I would have loved a white 93 wagon but this one was here and it was too good of a deal. It has 87,000 miles and I got it for $2000. It needs some work but nothing I couldn't fix with a little bit of time and about $500 more. I was really planning on buying a 94 or 95 Accord once I sold my Cadillac but now I can just keep this and skip out on a car payment so I have more cash to play with. I have always liked these wagons but I could never get myself to buy one until now.

    Man you got a GREAT deal. Our wagon has 187K and it's worth about 3000, but were selling it for 2000. Good job.

    $2000??? That's cheap!!!!! And considering how you guys have higher average prices, that makes it even a better find.
