a 98-02 accord is always a nice car.

Yea that generation had bad tranny problems. I would look into a 96-97 Accord that may have lower mileage around 100k for $3500~. Every once in a blue moon I see a 7th gen for about $5000 depending on condition.

But since you are just tearing into your CB, why not just find a cheap daily? I messed around and bought my Civic for $400 and put a motor in it. I got about 1300 in it now and it drives like a new car and even has cold a/c. Just because you have $4000 doesnt mean you have to spend it all ya know. I have about $5000 saved for hard times and I havent gotten a nice car yet. And when you buy that daily, you can always resell it and get your money back or just keep it for a spare.

yeh i really had no in tensions on spending all of it i just wanted to give like a max price type thing see what people came up with

Hahaha once you go from roomy CB to a small sports coupe it sucks and takes time getting used to. I can barely stand riding in my Civic most of the time due to the fact I dont have alot of space to carry my usual shit.

IMO not too many options in that price range... late 90s-early 00s Accord or Civic..Corolla that's pretty much it if you want reliability.

Probably the worst Accord ever made. Cheap materials, cheap workmanship, and stupid problems that show how Honda's quality control had begun to slip. I LOVE the way the coupe looks... but I wouldn't own one (again... my ex and I bought an 02 SE, and I don't regret letting her take it when she left!)


$4000 really won't get you a good car. It COULD, but any car you get for that price would be a risk.
