[JackTheOncelor]

new drive shaft axels, water pump, alternater, radiator, wheel bearings. 252,000 miles think i should buy it?

[ghettogeddy]

any pics
have you test drove it

[JackTheOncelor]

not yet im going to try and get ahold of the guy later today. but if it seams to run fine i think its a good deal do you?

[JackTheOncelor]

oh and im currently a 88 accord lx owner

[JackTheOncelor]

new drive shaft axels, water pump, alternater, radiator, wheel bearings. 252,000 miles think i should buy it? no pics have not seen the car yet im assuming that if the car even runs would it be worth buying or should i just stick with my 88 lx auto. my current car has a problem with the tranny. still runs and drives at the moment though.

[ghettogeddy]

ive paid 300-400 and 500 for a 3g

lx was 300 another lx was 400 and my current hatch was 500
all of them were great cars for a couple years

but then it was time to replace some things seeing as he already replace most of with i had to do
you should be good

as a matter of fact if it looks good and drives fine i wouldn't hesitate to buy it

[JackTheOncelor]

ok let me rephrase what should i look out for when looking at this car?

[JackTheOncelor]

well thats what i wanted to hear i will reward you with pics later today if i end up with it :P

If it runs and it'll pass inspection, it's worth $300. If it runs and the body is rotted beyond repair, the PGM-FI and manual swap for you LX is still worth $300.

[JackTheOncelor]

mkay but is all that trasferable between an 86 and an 88?

I merged these two threads together, since they not only were on the same topic, but had the same title.

Pics or this thread is useless

With a car that cheap make sure the registration is current, if it is not be sure to check on the fees. I just bought mine barely running for $300, and the past due fees to reg will be $170. I found others that ran well for $400-$500, but they had not been registered for so long that the fees were in the $300 range, which would have put them way out of my initial budget.

i paid $300 for my non running 87 dx parts car

[ShyBoyCA6]

mine was 400$ and i paid 230 for the registration and it was worth every penny now my car is looking better than before

Any car that runs and drives is worth $300.

That being said, I've sold cars that needed very little to run and drive for $50. I was given another car that drove home, it only needed a battery to run.

[MessyHonda]

yeah you will like the fuel injection...a bit more power...hope body is not roted out

[CzEcHy]

I paid 1200$ for my 88, and its an automatic, carburated, and had 230k miles when I bought it...


I wish mine was 300, or even 500..

'89 LX-i coupe, 170k - $900 (one owner, no problems)
'89 LX-i coupe, 260k - $300 (needed a main relay to run, pretty straight)
'88 LX-i coupe, 170k - $500 (runs excellent, ugly)

I've had fucking great deals on five-speed fuel-injected coupes.
