Hey guys I found this 89 lxi in a guys yard. I was amazed because it was a one owner car with 80,680 miles NO RUST, timing belt done it just needs some TLC but I only paid $1000 for it. It runs great but I think with some fresh oil new plugs and wires surely will make quite a difference. Give me some thoughts, is it worth it?? I personally think the car has a lot of potential for under $1500 and should run for quite awhile. I have an 06 350Z that I am trying to keep the miles off.

 

wow! excellent find on that accord

I'm quite the fan of 350's myself too

 

good pickup, i was gonna ask if that was your 350 off in the distance in the first pic before u posted a pic of it

 

Thanks for the compliments guys, I'll post some after pics in a week or so.

 

Here she is after a trip to the junk yard, some spray paint and a wax job. I spent all day on it I also changed the plugs, wires, cap, rotor.

 

that's a nice steal man. how did you find it? just driving around town and stumple across it? craiglist?

 

the detail job makes all the difference in the world. $1k for that is a good deal.

 

excelent find man, ive been looking around for an lxi or a hatch accord for the longest time for a beater car

 

Should get a K24 for it.

 

haha nice pick up..

3rd gen accord forum for you

 

Nice car! Build it!

And that Z is way too sexy. I was about to get one of those.

BTW I think that DC5 is attracted to your LXi. It parks on one side, then on the other. Better watch out!

 

nice job.. missed my 87 lxi .. is it really only 80xxx miles? or mising a 1 or 2 in front of it ahha.. that is awesome

 

nice DD...

 

 

Hey thanks for all the great comments guys, actually I spotted this car a few months ago and asked the guy about it and he said it was hit out front of his house. I looked a little closer and realized all it needed was some new lug studs, lugs, battery, a side mirror and some new moldings. He told me he was not ready to sell it yet because he bought it new and it had such low miles he might have it repaired. So 6 months go buy and the car is still sitting there I knock on the door again and same story not ready yet. So about a week ago (7 mos later) I get a call saying he's ready to let it go so I went and picked it up the next day. I have to say after driving the car for a week I love it It's so great to get in a car and just put it in drive and not really worry about where I park or rocks hitting my car on the Turnpike. I think I am going to appreciate my Z a little more now since I don't have to drive it every day. Again thanks for all the nice comments and I look forward to communicating with you Honda guru's.

 

I also thought you guys might appreciate this its the original window sticker and buyers order. He paid $15,000 in 7-89.

 

nice car, i had the same car when i was 16.

take care of it & it will last you forever.

 

very cool

 

Sounds like a great car, just keep it the way it is. Maybe paint the other moldings like the ones on the windows. Or find the OEM wheels for that model accord or something.

 

i have had about 4 of these accords, they were awesome cars, comfortable, cheap, economical & reliable

 

nice find!

 

damn definitely can't go wrong with that purchase price, and if its running fine and sounding good. than, can't go wrong with that price and for the use of a DD definitely amazing.

 

^^^^^^^ thanks man and sorry to hear about your problems with the dealership. I personally would have set up camp right out front of the dealer and told every customer coming in and out what happened. Maybe some picket signs too.

 

damn i had almost the same thing for the same price. I had the hatch, but regardless the thing was a champ. Sold it for 2,000
