why do u want a old accord with tha much mileage? yes accords are good cars but dont get one tha old, if i was you id get a 94-97 accord. we have had 2 of them and still have one of them, it has 190,000 miles on it and still runs strong, just make sure you dont buy a salvage title car

Kelly Blue Book will give you an estimate of what it is worth..look it up and have a mechanic check it out..because it is probably a ...as is sale...which means ..once they have your $$$ ..even if it breaks down on the way home..you are scewed...

Never. (1) 200,000 is even too much for a Honda. (2) Regardless of Condition, I would never pay over $500 for this. (3) This car is almost 20 Years Old; How Safe is it going to be?Look for a 1992 Civic or something with less miles

Yes, that is a good choice since the Honda Accord is the number one most reliable car.For $980, this is a good deal. It would probably last another 100,000 miles or maybe even more.Other good cars are Honda Civic, Mazda Protege, Toyota Corolla.

dont do that especially since your 17 you probbaly wont have any money to fix it and if you do than you would rather from the beginning buy a car that is around 3k you can find a nice 95 accord for 2500

hey man whats up I'm 18 and trust me when i tell you don't buy an accord sure they are great cars but i know in the future you will probably want to do things to it or something like get a civic!!! much cheaper essayer to come buy parts and yes use Kelly blue book to help you get the right price now when it comes to bringing the car to a mechanic to look at you tell you if its worth the price make sure it is someone you know and trust most mechanics tell you yes because they know 2weeks down the road you will be paying him to fix the timing belt or some shit like that...good luck..need anything else just go ahead and ask..

itll be fine. even if its not who cares its a first car it doesnt need to be perfect. why does everyone always post saying you need a car with under100k? not everyone has that kind of money for a newer car.
