1987 Honda Accord LX-i review from North America

I had to buy a new transmission when I bought the car. It was rebuilt and cost around $800.

I had to put a new air conditioner system in the car, that was also pretty expensive.

Aside from those two things, this car has saved me a lot of money over 6 years. It's about to go over 200000 and it's still running great.

It does need a new paint job, but that's from leaving it in the Texas sun for 14 years.

I also replaced a timing belt in 1996.

My fuel injection light keeps coming off and on over the years, but I haven't had to do anything with that.

The brake lamp light has been on since 1995, even though my brake-lamp works. It's not that big of a deal except everyone who rides with you will ask you about it.

I have replaced two mufflers and a set of tires.

I think that is normal maintenance over 6 years.

This car will not die. It is a trooper as far as cars go. I don't think many cars will last over 200000 miles without a major overhaul.

The Accord still has a lot of pep. I don't have to worry about making it across a busy intersection.

The insurance is very low on this vehicle.

If you could find an Accord in the 1987-1991 region under 120000, I would buy it. Now, I base this off of my car. You could have a bad experience from an Accord, but I have not. I think the owner before me was very good to this car.
