"A high performance bargain is an understatement"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air conditioner doesn't blow cold sometimes. It could be working well on one trip, turn it off and back on and it doesn't get cold no more. Let it rest then it blows cold again. It's got me. But then again it's amazing that it works at all.

General comments?

I bought this car from a dealership that used the car as a go for car. The dealer got it on a trade and it had so many miles on it he didn't put it up for sale. Instead he used to travel around to do business. The dealer put 10,000 miles on it and used it everyday. I saw the car sitting in the street one day and noticed it had 4WS. I asked him if I could drive it. He said yes. Loved the car the very first drive. Had to have it. I offered him 2K he said OK. Now it's mine.

This car still runs excellent and it drives excellent. Have had a number of cars in the past. Some of them were other Honda models. This car is it. It's not real fast but it's fun to drive. The steering is precise. The manual gear box is sweet. I drive a 136 miles every day and I am comfortable in the seat.

As far as maintenance goes, I've changed the oil once already and flushed refilled the radiator. A new Honda is about 26K for this model. That buys a lot of maintenance. I'll take an old Honda anyday.

I've only had my car for 3 weeks now and I love it. Lot of mileage (290,000 - 1988) but not too concerned about it has I have been told if oil is changed regularly it will last for ever. Purrs like a kitten. Body has been redone and it looks great. I think I made a very good deal. Gone from a Mazda pick up to this. Takes a bit of getting used to and I love it. Sure hope this is the beginning of a long lasting affair lol.
