1989 Honda Accord DX review from North America
"The best 600 dollars I ever spent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New Clutch at 132000.
Minor rust on rear quarter panels.
Revs high on warm days (can't figure out why)
Air conditioning needs recharged.
Both CV joints needed replaced at time of purchase.
General comments?
Before I bought this car, I had many people telling me to buy a Honda. They all talked about the reliability, economy, and resale value. So, when I found one for $600 dollars, I could'nt resist myself. The car has lived up to all the hype that I heard.
Though the car did initially need some work, in the end, it was well worth it.
