    My 89 Accord

    only had 45K miles when purchased last week. Automatic trans. A true granny's car.

    I am third owner, 2nd owner obtained it as a result of an elderly aunt passing away, he did not drive it much and sold it to lucky me.

    Yes, minimal wear inside and out, top of back seats and deck are quite faded tho.

    26.5 mpg in town on first tank of fuel.

    Got 35.3 mpg on a 326 mile trip last week, had a bit of a tail wind tho, will check mileage on the return trip.

    gave 1400 for it, spent another 225 in parts for some maintenance/repairs that needed done.

    It had a thermostuck instead of a thermostat!

    Replaced the thermostat and a few other parts for maintenance purposes.

    Engine looked too clean and it ran too good for a bad head gasket, I took a calculated gamble and won.

    Did you take a time machine back 20 years to find this car? She looks like new!
