Default What to look for 1995 Accord LX

Hello All,

This is my first post. I've been looking for a car for the last few months, I found a 92 Civic DX hatch from a mechanic a friend of mine knew, but it was back in his shop so much he just told me he was going to give me my money back. So tomorrow night I'm going to go look at a 1995 Accord LX with 132,000 on it. I'm wondering what I should look for when test driving it? Any certain sounds, and problems that pop up around this time? Thanks for the help!

Make sure it has had the timing belt replaced already. Otherwise that's a big cost for you right out of the box.

Look for corrosion around the rear fender arches, especially the thin section between the door & the arch.

Check balljoints for looseness or torn boots.

Ok will do. Just to give perspective, the guy is selling it for $1400 OBO.
