After not having a Honda/Acura for quite some time (since I sold my 94 Integra LS) I just bid/won one yesterday on eBay. Flying to NY to pick it up and bring it back in the morning. I was looking for something fairly inexpensive and fairly clean that can get me through the winter. My current/regular car is not at all fond on the winter.

Pics for anyone interested as soon as I can pick it up, get it home, and get it cleaned up. It looks to be stock, so I guess they may not be all that interesting. Hopefully it will make a 6hr+ drive w/o problems.

What do you all think of the deal?:

92 GS, Manual, 133K, Black/Black, Leather. $2750.

Just saying hello, and hoping y'all are going to help me out with some info in the coming days!

Sounds like a good deal.

Good luck with the car and welcome to HAN.

 

sounds like a good deal if it is in good condition. What is your other car?

 

haha, i just got the exact same car for almost the exact same price!! not a month ago, I got a Black w/ black leather interior '92 GS for 2700!! mine's got slightly higher miles (168,000). But it was maintained really well it's whole life, so it still runs like a top!! have fun w/ it, they are great cars!!

 

ive got a 91 and love the shit out of this car havent really had any problems out of it and its at like 138k or something like that

 

sweet got luck with the teggy

 

good deal

 

sounds like a good deal...

 

but a successful one. The car seems pretty clean, aside from some door dings. I got a first pass cleaning done, but am going to wait on pics until I can claybar the whole thing and give it a good detailing. Turns out it is a 93 not a 92 although I don't think there is a diff.

It seems pretty tight, and the only mechanical prob I can see so far after about 10 hrs driving total is a very low idle (about 500 rpm) that really shakes the car -- esp with the lights on. Kicks in as soon as I put the clutch in to roll to a stop. I'm will be searching for tips on that in a few days.

I am trying to find out if it has had the timing belt replaced yet. Does anyone know if Honda/Acura keeps records of such things (perhaps by VIN?) I may call my local dealer to see if they have anything they can track. I would hate to do it again if the car has already had it. No records with the car .

Bonzo: Other car is a BMW 540i. Between the RWD, it being lowered, and the width of the tires on it -- it is perfectly worthless in the snow. That one I have some pics for (no flames, pls I know it's not a teg, but those are coming.)

hey man my 91 ls does the same thing it only happens when i come to a full stop it idles at around 700 or so for a few seconds to a few minutes and then all of a sudden drops down to around 500 the car shakes likes it wasnt to die for maybe 2 seconds and then jumps rigth abck up to the 700 or so mark, i am stumped as hell as to what it, ive heard that the fast idle control valve needs to be cleaned but i cant get to mine its on the back of the intake manifold,other then i have no clue... does your car do that but even more and worse when the ac is ran, its bad enough with mine that the few times i run my ac i have to turn it off when i stop then back on once im driving...if you figure it out man lemme know, its very annoying
