1989 Honda Accord LXI review from North America
"Good performance great price GREAT"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The oil pan wore out at about 145,000 miles started leaking $150 to replace.
New starter at around 140,000 Miles another $100.
Driver side window motor went cost about $200.
Replaced exhaust system from flex hose back total $350.
General comments?
I never knew a car could last this long, and hold up this well. Some surface rust on rear driver side quarter panel easy to fix. I have put very little money into this car just standard maintenance, and have been rewarded with peace of mind. I will own this car until I can go get another Accord. Best car ever made.
