I Finally DID IT!...Traded the 4th Gen to a 5th Gen!
Well-
My ACCORD story is such a freakin SOAP OPERA! But what I did today was take my 93 Accord to a HOnda/Acura specialist for a complete check-up. He inspected the car and showed me some REALLY UGLY STUFF under the hood and under the car!.
He also said that if I decide to keep the car, it will be about 2K in repairs to get it going good BUT he also mentioned that the car will mostlikely require MORE MAJOR repairs/Maintenance in the very near future.
In his own words...." TAKE IT BACK or TRADE IT IN ASAP".
In heed of his words..I went out and got me-self a 97 Accord LX with only 62K miles. I even purchased the freaking Extended Warranty for 3yr/36K Miles!
This car cost me 9K!
I hope this one gives me BETTER LUCK!
Thanks for listening/reading my SOAP OPERA!

If I had your 4th Gen (your Sig)...That would be tight...BUT the one I HAD was nuthin but problems!
Im sure its going to get SOME upgrades, but to a minimum as it IS a Daily Commuter (200 miles/day)...first on the plate is the Stereo System!..Gotta have NICE TUNES if its going to be looooong rides.
Then mostlikely the Suspension.
Then some Bolt On Power
Then Body/Paint and MAYBE the interior.
Lets see what happens.
