Hello! I'm A8500 and I'm maybe going to buy a painted matte black 1988 Honda Accord, and I wanted to ask before I buy? It was not long since it was on the road so it's in okay condition but it's mileage is 331.478 KM, how much will it go further?

I've heard about 470+ but I'm not sure :P

THanks! I love accords and my uncle's friend who was born in '77 wants a '86 Accord :P Isn't the '88 the same as the '86? :3

Welcome to HAF.

In the US the 3rd gen Accords (86-89) are the same style....the flip up headlights . There are different options/trim levels - DX, LX and LXi, then 2, 3 or 4 door.

Not sure of the price, I'm in the US so hard for me to compare for you.

Thanks for the answer poorman212!

and thank you.

It's a EX Accord, 4-door. Sedan, doesn't have pop-ups and has some rust spots but not big or holes.

Honda has used different engines in different parts of the world, so horsepower for a USA car is sometimes different from UK, Japan, etc...

Look for the engine code stamp on the block, towards the front, just below the dist.....A20A or something like that will be stamped into it. From there I'm sure you can google the code and find some info.
