car inquiry...

car inquiry...

since im still in the market for buying another car, what do u guys think of this white 95 accord....its the only car that ive found that ive looked at and honestly thought that i wouldnt have to modify the body (except for maybe a cf hood)...plus it has 64k miles and only asking $7k...i really like the jdm look in the front...

what are u getting another car for? daily driver? project? track?

either way.. the car looks good, its a honda (last forever) low ass miles,.. little pricey for a 10 year old car...then again really good condition for a 10 year old car, if its for a Daily, mild mod car i say go for it

its gonna be a daily driver project car....putting about 20-30 miles on it daily to go to and from school work n home....n ya kno how when ur lookin for another car, u find one n then u think bout wut u wanna do to it...well i was thinkin, just lower it, cf hood, paint the front, side, n rear lip white and keep the stock wheels maybe cuz the body and exterior look great...if i wanted to go a little further engine wise, maybe an h22 lude engine kept stock with modded internals intake n exhaust...and interior wise, aftermarket components, deck, black racing seats, black rear seat covers, and black door panels....

the price for the car is actually pretty good since ive been shopping around and havent found a decent car for a decent price...and yea this car is in really good condition too, theyve actually bumped the price for this one since it use to be 7500 originally but no one bought it so they lowered it to 6995...they have another accord on their lot...its a 96 with 80k miles n their askin for the same amount so this white one is really catchin my attention..

whats that thing under the steering column??

i agree you should get a manual trans.

eh, im not too worried bout stick or auto, not at this point...right now, i just want a nice car...

yea, that was one of the things that stood out to me....im rippin that thing off if i get it....but ya kno, it makes ya wonder if the previous driver took care of the car...

It looks like in great condition, but could be all just a front.

have the car tested before you buy. I'm not sure if AAA does their check ups near you but out here they do a presale service that's like $50 and they go over the entire car and tell you what's wrong. It's worked out great for me so far.

that man is yelling..."buy me" lol

i want an accord too.. but 2 drs are so fuckin rare tho..
if you get it, dont get any body kit, get a lip kit....

yes, this is a nice car, but a manual is much more enjoyable to own.

When I bought my Integra, I almost bought a 95 Accord Coupe 5 Speed... they definitely do drive quite nicely, I really liked it... but too many things wrong with it, I say if it checks out, buy it...

Things that are weak on accords:

1) rust, they tend to develop rust behind the back wheel wells where the back bumper meets the body.

2) leaky fluids. Hondas are prone to blow seals all over the place with age. One of interest of the cam seal, when it starts leaking it pours oil on the timing belt making snap.

3) timing belt. nedes to be changed religiously around 60K miles.

4) transmission. Needs to be kept in good shape if you want to keep it shifting smoothly. This is where a manual is better. Regular oil changes at around 30K help a lot.

5) lowering is more expensive on an accord than on a corolla due to the complexity of the suspension (wishbones). Getting a camber kit is an expensive ordeal

6) swapping a H22 is not keeping it stock anymore, you are talking major work and modifications, even if it does bolt right in.

With that said it is a nice daily driver. The CB9 (chassis code) is a nice car, and you can find many aftermarket parts for it if you wanted to, but I agree 5 speed would be a much better choice.

yea, an engine swap is no where near stock
