Nice lookin car, don. If it were my car I would start with an exterior mod(like a bodykit) to make it look a little cooler and then id go with a interior mod(like a sound system-But in my oppinion accords have the best stock sound systems so you might not want one). After that id go with a performance mod to top it off.

Then id move my car so it didnt get towed...lol

lol.... I'll do that as soon as I get a new job, because sadly I just recently got laid off. How much do you think it'll cost me to get those rust spots off!

I was planning on selling my car... I put it up for $1650 this lady told me she'll give me $1000 for it. I told her the lowest I'd go is $1600 and she said that I was ripping her off. What do you think?

Depending on how deep the rust is. You could just buff it out and paint it or if it is really deep then you might have to buy new fender then paint the fender. It also depends on your mechanic, too. He could overcharge and take your money or he could be nice and ask for what it's worth.

Once my car get out of the shop (about next week or so) I will be able to tell you a better estimate.

Um idk have you checked bluebook? Their value is $4,000.

Yes I know you just have to stay away from people like that. They are just semi-cardealers to me.

welcome to the forum. IF you maintain the car properly it should last a very long time........

don_efra, how good are you at fiberglass? Bondo? If you do it RIGHT you can patch those holes and blend it well enough so that nobody will know. BUT make sure that you do a good enough job so that the rust won't continue or a fine fiberglass job will look like poo.
