*** Honda Discretion:: Honda haters, keep your comments to yourself, I've still got my Mustang, its not going anywhere, this isnt getting pimped out, its preserving the miles and wear and tear on the Mustang as well as many other purposes. ***

So my girlfriend decided she wanted to buy a car, and we needed something for all year round that was both reasonably attractive, good in Canadian winters, and great on gas. A co-worker of ours was selling the vehicle below. Its a 1990 Honda Accord EX-R, its got leather, A/C, Sunroof, power everything, Automatic, and its only got about 85,000 Miles (13XXXX KM). Tonnes of new stuff, really good shape and a pleasure to drive. Figured I would share :

PS: In case your wondering, it wasnt that shiny when we bought it, I took those pictures about 10 minutes ago, and waxed it for the preceding two hours. lol

cost in american currency???

rigamaroles · Apr 6, 2007

whats the exchange rate? lol...sec...

4100.00 American. Was a pretty good deal around these parts. My Mustangs worth 9 grand where I live.

fuzzy seats, fuzzy steering wheel. All your missing is fuzzy dice lol. Id lose that stuff. Anyway, thats a really nicee dd. yOU SHOULD SEE MY HEAP. i HAVE A 92 TOYOTA TERCEL. I put a brand new long block and everything else in it. So mines like brand new. But it still looks like a pos on the outside. Cant complain about the 40 mpg i get either. What makes my car really cool though is my Orange county choppers seat covers.

Everyone who mods should have at least one Honda DD for a backup LOL! My beater is a Honda wagon and I NEVER worry about it not starting on me.

My wife has a ford escort wagon and it's still like new. At least it's still a ford. Good for hauling around my pup and soon my kid.

Oh and it's a five speed. Too bad that honda isn't, otherwise it's very clean.

WilwoodFiveO · Apr 6, 2007

Congrats on the nice pick up! I wish i had a DD that was that nice (i wish i had a DD). That thing is so clean too.

lol yeah my friend has a 94 Civic with 290k miles and beats the hell out of it. Doesn't burn any oil and still runs like a champ!

my 3.0 4x4 ranger goes for miles.. 3.0s are one of the most reliable motors built to be honest. Not a fan of honda.. if i had my choice, i'd have to go with yotas or acuras.. either way thats kinda high price around here, but if its a deal its a deal.. still not a fan of hondas, fart cans and what not.. bahhh humbug

TokyoJoe · Apr 7, 2007

An acura is a honda man

mustanggt5pt0 · Apr 7, 2007

I used to have a Toyota P.U. untill I sold it when I went to college. That honda is in really really nice shape. Good grab.

poneypower89 · Apr 7, 2007

I have a 92 Saturn 5-speed as a daily driver...

and whats really sad is... my supercharged mustang is much much more reliable than it is

gunmetal5.0 · Apr 7, 2007

It's true, I had an acura integra, and it had a honda b18.

i share your pain, my girlfriend has a 96 sl1 and that thing is a POS She was always talking this and that about ford and now i drive her ass around because her car barely runs. Best believe it PITTB for that ****. Gotta put some injectors in the saturn over the weekend because their leaking and preventing the car from starting once its warmed up

Seriously, if you EVER need help with the DOHC saturn problems.. send me a PM. I have become very good in this area. I've learned so much about them because the crap is always breaking... not because I wanted to.

Really, I kinda like the car. The parts are cheap, gets good mpg, and is pretty peppy due to the 5-speed.. but

I've owned it for 6 months and have had to:

- Replace Waterpump
- Replace valve cover gasket (oil was leaking onto the spark plugs)
- Replace motor mounts (started vibrating like a cammed BB camaro)
- Replace rear rotors (they have a warping problem ur 96 prolly has drums though)

LOL I just got done doing motor mounts and brakes (the car took like 3 people on the brake pedal to stop, and the motor mounts were so fcked that the headlights shook at idle). Im telling you saturn = POS

poneypower89 · Apr 7, 2007

have u done a water pump yet???

Cuz if not.. you will very soon.

I found pieces of the water pump bearings embedded in the plastic inner fender well when I went to replace it.. talk about catastrpohic failure.

BigHairyMonkey · Apr 7, 2007

i hope not The sad thing is that the car has only 90k miles on it, my first car ( a 97 nissan altima) had 160k and i drove it like the gas pedal was an on/off switch and i never heard a peep from it and still got like 30mpg.

poneypower89 · Apr 7, 2007

water pump went out at 111k...

according the saturn forums.. that was 10k LONGER than the pump normally last. lol
