Default Hello from Sunny New Jersey!

I'm planning to get a used 93 Honda Accord 4 door EX. I have some questions i need answered before i buy this ride.

Its burgundy and i really like the car. I need to be sure it won't break down. I'm paying $1750 for it. Its 125 K miles with keyless entry, all auto, cd changer, sun roof. Minor Flaws. Crack on front bumper.

Timing belt was probably never changed. I'm concerned about this. A/C doesn't work, but it seems to need a freon recharge.

What do u guys think about this deal? Timing belt could be a problem anytime soon?

Price seems to be good for that mileage. Does the car have a clean title and has it ever been in an accident? Run a carfax before you buy any car. If timing belt has never been replaced then you would have to replace that as soon as you get it. I think honda recommends changing it ever 90k for normal driving. Also make sure exactly why the A/C doesn't work. My dad use to have a 88 accord that needed a freon recharge every couple months because it had a leak.

Thank you for the quick response superballz.

The car has a clean title. Ran the car fax.3 owners but a clean title. A/C has a freon leak apparently. No accidents that car fax could reveal.

Timing belt, yes i'm concerned about spending money as soon as i get it. So ..

Varun.
