[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8673118, member: 676743"] I bought a '87 Accord 2 door for $200 dollars 18 years ago, put in a used radiator, new passenger drive shaft, tie rod ends, spark plugs and a free used battery and it cost me with alignment around $450 total including the initial $200. Had a 2.0 or 2.2 icr which it had but with a 5 speed manual that thing got great gas mileage. No cruise control but even with me driving back and forth to south of chicago 4-5 times a year it ran great. I could go down there and back on very little compared to the jeep I sold a couple years ago and the explorer I have now. IIRC it got around 37-43 mpg on those trips. Parts are cheap and they will till they fall apart as long as you do oil changes every 3,000 miles.I would buy it if it was me, heck they are a lot more comfortable then they look. Parents had a '84 just like the one you posted and even so low to the ground they are still nice to sit in and drive. [/QUOTE]
