I've owned multiple hondas and have had ZERO problems aside from regular maintenance. My suggest would be to get a clean car that has been well maintained and it should last you a long time provided that you keep up with the day to day things like oil changes, spark plug replacements, timing belt/water pump replacement etc etc. Things like that keep a car alive a lot longer....I had an accord for over 110K miles (total of 191K) and later sold it for a decent penny because it was maintained and it's still being driven now.

Treat her well and she'll treat you even better.

I can tell you right now that the front bumper has been replaced on that car, so look closely at it in person to make sure any accident damage has been fixed properly and thoroughly.

What gave you that thought. Just curious.

Honda has established its good rep over many years.
Like said before, you can't go wrong.

The car is a '94, but the bumper cover has been painted to '92-93 specs (the two faux side vents are black instead of painted over). Also, the OE front lip is missing. The corner markers are not original either, but those are a common aftermarket appearance modification and are not necessarily indicatory of damage.

to the keen eye...plus the fitment of the side of the bumper to the fender doesnt seem as tight as it should be.
