Hey Guys,

I currently own a 93' camry with 240,000 miles on it and looking to sell it and get an Accord. I found one on craigslist and would like to get some of your thoughts on it. Obviously honda's are known for their reliability but what problems should i be looking for in the 94' 4 cyl 2 door model? Heres the link to the car:
*****1994 HONDA ACCORD LX - 2 DOORS - 84K MILES*****

Thanks for any feedback in advance!

well with that one i'd say the miles have been rolled back.

 

I'm going to look at it tomorrow. Is there anything i can look for to see if it has been rolled back? that might be a stupid question but thought id ask hah. Is there anything i can do when test driving it to see if the transmission is going bad?

Thanks guys

 

if that is legit that is an excellent deal. #1 check that VIN with carfax. it might be a salvage title or something of the sort. otherwise, when you're driving it, you will know if the transmission is bad. it wont change gears smoothly or you'll hear the engine race between shifts. keep us posted though. i am very interested to hear the story on it.

edit: i just checked their website inventory and didnt see it there. they might have sold it.

 

I don't think the miles have been rolled back... it's a rarely low mileage but not possible. Plus, Live2Rice tried rolling an odo and he ended up breaking it.

That's one clean car and the miles match the appearance. If it drives, good, might as well get it.

 

thanks for the advice guys, very helpful!

I carfaxed the vin and found the rear quarter panel was damaged but everything is fixed according to the dealer. I'm going to check it out tomorrow and take it for a test drive ill update you when im back. thanks again!

 

Good Luck on the car and Welcome to the forums...

 

so i went to check out the accord... the seller failed to tell me the odometer was swapped out with a different one because it broke after i test drove it and noticed the miles were lower than on the carfax report. Told him i'd think about the deal but decided not to because he seemed pretty sketchy and didnt feel i could trust him. But the car drove great and looked amazing. Thanks for the help though guys!
