1998 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Mint condition 98 beats 08 model's value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is nothing seriously wrong with this car: just bought if off a dealer trade from an older couple. Never has had anything done in its life, but maintenance like oil changes. Tires may have been changed before.
Little stuff likes to squeak like the shifter and the little door under the cassette deck.
Obviously it has not been used much, so it squeaks a bit.
Little amount of oil showing up around valve cover gasket. Time for seal replacement.
Timing belt has never been changed/ car has a little vibration when at stop lights... never had any tune ups before?
Trunk may not be 110% aligned. Looks like it had been hit at one time. But paint is flawless. It is like a nanometer or two off. Not like my two other 99 Accords.
General comments?
This car is in near mint condition, and I love the way it drives and it will be a good addition to the family with the other 5 Accords we have. Not a bit of rust anywhere and the paint looks show room. I saw only one dent on the whole car... bumpers do not have typical marks from older people rubbing against stuff.
Comfortable interior.
Engine is church mouse quiet.
Was going into dealer to buy a brand new Accord and saw this one, and thought it was the best deal.
I will update about anything that happens from now on. I have a past review on my 1994 Accord with 250+ thousand miles and I see this one may be like that car.
This is an early generation 6 Accord built in Marysville, October 1997.
