I really like these cars and I’m curious if it’s still a good choice. I don’t mind doing some small repairs, but I want the car to last for another 4-5 years.
You might start having problems with seals and gaskets if you haven’t already. It really depends on the price, how reliable you need the car to be, and what you can afford.
If you need the car to get to work and can afford a newer one, it’s better to go with a newer car to avoid missing work. But if you’re just trying to save money and can take an Uber if the car doesn’t start, it might be worth considering.
Yes, they’re still good for daily driving, especially the US models since they all had the 2.2-liter fuel-injected engine from 1990 on. I still see a lot of them on the road, even more than the 4th or 5th gen Civics.
For older used Hondas, how well they were maintained by previous owners is more important for reliability than their exact age or mileage. It’s a good idea to get a pre-purchase inspection.
Yeah, but don’t expect it to be a reliable daily driver unless many parts have already been replaced. The car is 30 years old. If you need something that will last 4-5 years, you should buy something newer.
Give it a try. It won’t cost you a lot.
It’s hard to say. It’s risky because there are many things to consider. Was it kept in a garage? How is the engine? How is the transmission? Is it worth the money, or would you be better off finding a newer model? It’s a bit of a gamble. If you find the right one at a good price, go for it. Just be very careful.
It’s one of the best and most reliable Accords ever made.
