    used accord, what to look for?

    I'm going to check out a 91' coupe tomorrow with over 200K. It does have some minor body damage. The price of 800$ makes me think its a bucket but it looks pretty damn good (for 800$ anyway) from the pics and they say it runs and drives great. What are common problems on these cars to look for?? I'm not expecting anything perfect but I want a good cheap start for a project.

        rust,rust bends under chasis=signs of abuse/accidents. Check under the hood/oil/coolant make sure its a nice neon green with brown in it as far as the liquid. As for the oil make sure its not straight black. Make sure the motor doesnt knock.

                        try and turn the wheel and get a look at the brake pads.... also start it and pump the brakes a lil.... you may want to even do a few rides around the block with rapid stops... could have a bad brake boost unit....

                            were you the one that took a pic of it too?? that was some surprise.

                            if its an lx/ex, see how well all of the power options work.

                              Make sure the body lines up straight, the windows roll up straight, the doors close, trunk closes nicely, etc... Shit like that seems easy but is a pain in the ass to fix...
