"Best $6,100 I've ever spent"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Just needed new tires. The Car had Goodyears, but I replaced them with Yokohama's.

General comments?

AWESOME CAR! Picked this baby up for only $6100. Its fully loaded with every avaliable option avaliable that year Leather, Moon roof, and a CD player (big option in 1995 you have to understand). "Sandy" is Tan with a tan interor.

The guy who owned this car last was VERY fussy, he had a journal that documented EVERYTHING he did to the car from when he bought it new back in 1995 to the present.

The Leather looks like new.

I have a feeling I'll be holding on to this car for a long time.

I have a 1994 Accord with 245,000 miles and we call her "Goldie Lockes"

I'd be embarrassed to admit I paid $6,000 for ANY 12 year old Honda product. You could have gotten a very nice, low mileage and much newer American made car that would last you twice as long. You should have shopped around more.

Well, I did "shop around" and yes I could have gotten something like a 2000 Taurus, but I can tell you this is a MUCH better car. This 95 is in better shape then many 2000's or 2001's. Although I have a feeling your partial to American cars.

I would gladly pay 6000 dollars for a top of the line Accord with leather and with low miles. I have had so many American cars that have had so many issues; including my brother in laws 2006 Ford Ranger that came out of the factory with a defective transmission and has sat at the dealer for most of the year being looked at by mechanics who have no idea what is wrong. It has a manual transmission and they have replaced everything from the clutch to the slave cylinder and it and yet it will not shift properly. I also have so many issues with my interior looking like crap so that in its self rules out the American car. If there is one thing that I have come to realize after buying American cars, it is that I will not drive anymore crap anymore. At least with the Honda or Toyota I know I could go 300,000 miles easily without too many problems such as my 94 Accord (similar to the 95 Accord on this review) but with three times the miles.

Exactly, In my 10 years of driving I bet I've spent almost $10,000 in repairs and maintence on domestic cars that I have had (2 buicks and a GMC). At leaste with the Accord I have some piece of mind and the proof is overwhelming with what other have said.

I hope you have better luck with your Honda then I have. I have had quite a few and lately the transmission woes have prompted me to buy domestic. I cannot believe the Acura TL especially giving me such difficuties. My earlier Hondas were excellent... and the Legend fantastic. It's a shame they lost a great customer. I bought 2 new GM's alone this year.

Whoever said the comment about "You should have bought an American car because money and last blah blah blah". You are so incredibly wrong. I have owned 10 cars, domestic cars are junk, and imported cars aren't. I wish it was the other way around. The other day my friend paid $13,000 for a Lincoln LS that is literally falling apart; that said, American-made doesn't mean quaility. Buy a Honda, it will be cheaper and will last you THREE TIMES as longer than ANY domestic. This is the reason why Ford is bankrupt.

My parents Lincolns have been exceptional however they buy them new ... Navigators and Town Cars. They are great on trips. I am not a big fan of older luxury cars import or domestic as the invariably cost a great deal when they age.

12:35...what years are your imports? What is the latest late model domestic you have owned within the past 3 years to document and what basis do you have to condemn all Fords? Why is the F-150 the largest selling vehicle in the U.S.A.?

Oh I get it. Now American quality has skyrocketed in the past three years and the previous century they just "didn't get it right". Please.

It's going to take at least ten years of PROVEN quality before American manufacturers are going to gain any type of credibility. And the reviews of 2006 American cars and trucks on this site aren't glowing 100%, if 50%.

And you can't bring up the F-150 statistic because when you do it means that, following your logic, the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry (the bestselling cars in America) have superior quality - something you are trying to disprove.

I'd rather have a Crown Vic for a company car as a sales rep driving 1000 miles a week than an Accord.

Once you check out the safety record of the Crown Vic you'd change your mind pretty quick. Another one of Ford's "unsafe at any speed" winners.

This is "12:35".

I'm talking about the longevity (sp) of a vehicle. So, if your wanting to talk about that, we will have to wait for some of those good ol' 2007 1-fiftys to age and get around 150,000 miles/10 years. I'm sure they will turn to s*** like any other Ford with that many miles.

Wait a second, isn't this a Honda Accord thread? The people looking at this thread are probably looking for the cheapest way to get from point A to point B, I know I am. Trust me, if your someone who has $5000 or less to spend on a car, buy a Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, whatever, if you buy a domestic car it will nickel and dime you to death.

For an example of this, go over the the Lincoln LS board. 8 out of 10 people say will never buy another domestic car after owning the LS.

10:45 I have put over a half million miles on them for work... great car, roomy large trunk for equipment. I owned an Acua TL for weekends by the way. Would not want an Accord for business though.
