Default Buying a 1995 Accord, some questions

First off, the compressor is apparently not working, so I'll have to get that replaced, any idea how much that will cost? The second major problem is that the windshield is cracked, and the guy has had it replaced six times (!) since I don't know when. He blames it on bad luck, which seems suspicious. Also, the hood has been repainted, apparently because he was in a small crash and only the front bumer had to be replaced, and so the hood was repainted to match the bumper. Not a totally different color, but you know how replacements are usually slightly different. Is this common procedure to have the hood repainted? My thought is that it was a more serious crash and that he had both hood and bumper replaced, along with the chassis getting tweaked and thus the windshield cracking.

spend 70-80 dollars and have te car checked out before you buy it,, it will be the best money you will ever spend for an automobile....
Go to a shop that specializes on Hondas or a dealer if so you prefer ask for a buyer's chk out ,, they will go over the car and should list anything out of the ordinaly,,,,,,,,
From what you are saying i would stay away from this car ...
