Hello I own a 98 Civic EX. Love the car but want to step into another Honda to rotate cars for my commute. I am focusing on a 96 or 97 accord. I love the old style look and see these cars can go along way. Are their any common problems that I need to be aware of before I start my search? The only item I see is some have the usual wheel well lip rust and nobody likes changing timing belts. Any assitance is greatly appreciated. Have a great day.

 

Can't really think of anything common that you should worry about.....

Speedo's sometimes go.
Main relays fail
Ign switches go bad

The above is just the luck of the draw.....some will never fail, some will?

Keeping up with the maint items is the key.
