Might get an 89 LXI

[TJ89Accord]

Well, I crashed my 94 Accord, and I can't afford to buy a new car. My sister has an 89 LXI Automatic (I've never had an automatic ). Well, she said she would sell it to me for 300 bucks. I've been drivin it all over anyways lol.

Bad things:
-Has 196,000 miles
-leaks oil
-tranny slips a little
-starter is acting up a little
-maybe needs an alignment
-needs a muffler

Good things
-Interior is pretty clean
-all power options work (EVEN A/C!)
-body is in decent shape

I need a car really bad, so hopefully I will get this soon .

It still runs great, hopefully I can get a few more miles out of it.

Bad things:
-Has 196,000 miles no worries, she's just beginning to get broken in.. mine just hit 200 a few days ago, and she seems to have gained some new life )
-leaks oil fix that, if it's the v/c gasket, pay the 5 bux and do it urself, or indulge a little and spend 50 for a mechanic to do it
-tranny slips a little here's the ffun part.... treat her right until you get a little $$ saved up, then do what myself and a few others here on the board have done, A 5-SPD SWAP
-starter is acting up a little
-maybe needs an alignment that should never have been written, all cars need an allignment from time to time, standard maintenence
-needs a mufflerpacesetter catback from NOPI, or buy a fart can, and go to a local muffler shop and ask one of the kids there if he can custom bend some 2.25" for u on the side.

Good things
-Interior is pretty clean yeah, the LX-i interior seems to hold up pretty well
-all power options work (EVEN A/C!)lucky bastard (about the A/C)
-body is in decent shape...just don't let it look like ur '94 LOL!j/k

I need a car really bad, so hopefully I will get this soon .

It still runs great, hopefully I can get a few more miles out of it. that shouldn't be an issue at all... ....keep up on maintenence, and maybe half way through it's lifespan

[colro=red]All in all, you've got a car that'll last longer then ur 94 as long as you keep up with repairs.[/color]
