Hello Forum
I'm doing some research to determine what to do with my 1994 Accord EX Wagon. I have owned the car for 10 years, and I love it. It's a little rough, however. I was hit in the rear end and the trunk lid-tail gate door has a bent in it. The ABS light is on, and the honda dealer said it would cost $1600 to put a new ABS modulator and accumulator on the car, wow. I'm not sure if it needs this or not. Paint is fadded from the florida sun. Some rumbling in the front end, that is probably a worn joint, I'm not sure. Car still runs great with only 130,000 miles.
Where do I start? My feeling is to make it mechanically sound, then work on the body.
Opinions......
Thanks, Bob

Personally I wouldn't put that kind of money into a 10 year old car. 130,000 isn't a ton of mileage but it's nothing to sneeze at either. You are certanly at the point where you'll be doing one thing after another if not for the mileage definitely the age. Things dry up, rust, crack, break, etc, etc, etc...Unless your real mechanically competent you'll put a lot of money into the car in the next couple years.....Just my .02
