"Expensive maintenance"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Timing belt change was 675, idles rough after being overcharged an hour and a half for labor at Honda dealer.

Front rotors and brake service is 300+ and impossible to change rotors without shop tools.

Top plastic part of radiator cracked.

Plastic, inner, front door handles cracked beyond use. Dealer can only supply rear handles.

Factory radio shorts out.

Car has to be lifted to change oil.

Two sets of outer C.V. boots.

Right axle and C.V. joint.

Entire exhaust replaced.

Barely passes Washington, D.C. emissions on 93 octane gas.

Distributor is defective and has to be replaced.

A/C no longer holds refrigerant.

General comments?

Expensive maintenance.

Hey, whoever wrote this review is on top of things. I just bought a 1992 Accord Coupe. It runs good, don't get me wrong... but here are the things I find wrong with it.

1. engine idles at almost 2000RPM when car is started, & takes at least 5 minutes for it to return to normal.

2. my driver side door handle plastic piece is completely broken.

3. my AC will be cold as ice, for 10 minute after I turn it on, after that I might as well just take the damn thing out.

So far, this is what's wrong. My cousin is the original owner of the car, and I bought it from him, and he's replaced all the belts, radiator, and some other things, so I hope I don't have anything to worry about (knock on wood).

My email address is jaime5238@earthlink.net if anyone has any comments.

Just recently purchased a 1992 Honda Accord LX, overall I love the car. The only problems I've had so far was the transmission. I had to replace 2 parts...2-4 clutch drum and torque converter, which ended up costing $1600.
