"Good first car for teen"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Vacuum Leak at 250,000

Other than that, all regular maintenance.

General comments?

This car is awesome. Bought it for $900, and it is incredible. Never replaced clutch or had any major problems with it. It still has enough power to burn out, and the assisted variable power steering is also very technologically advanced for an 86. One bad thing- 86 was the first year Accords had Electronic Fuel Injection, so the engine has a few rough edges, so examine carefully.

You said 1985 was the first year for Accords fuel injected. I have a carbeurated 1985 Sedan. But I believe the 1985 Se-i has fuel injection.
