Hey guys and gals im new here and just found this website anyway im thinking of a new car or second car and I ran across a dealer here with a 94 or 97 honda accord...I dont know all the details on the car all I know is that it has 191,000 on the engine and its a 5-speed im assuming is a base because its a 5-speed sedan with you sunroof lol thats about all I have to go on. If I get it I plan on doing a engine swap since the engine has so many miles. is there anything I need to look out for? Any help on this would be greatly apreciated.

 

It depends what engine youre going to swap in. If its another f22 then you wont have to worry about anything. BTW, how much is it being sold for?

 

thats a load of miles...

 

4900 is what its being sold for

 

I would never pay that much for a 10 year old Honda Accord that you need to immediately replace the motor in. If you buy it, I have some stuff to sell you...

If you want an Accord, do some research...find out what year it actually is, what trim packages include (just cause it's a 5 speed doesn't mean it's the base). Search for other Accords in your area, etc...you'll be able to find one with a lot less miles for the money.

www.autotrader.com will allow you to at least compare prices. www.kbb.com for the resale range.

 

Simply too much for a car that old with that many miles. For that price you can easily find a car from the same year with less than 120k miles on it. When I purchased my 94 Accord EX (5 speed) in 2003 it had 114k miles on it and I paid $4400 for it.

 

I paid $5900 for my '97 SE...with 96k miles. Run, don't walk away from that "deal." You can find cars with considerably less miles for under $5000.
