i have enough to buy one but they dont want me to do that so they are giving me my dads old car, this is the second damn POS car they have given me the first was another honda an 85' honda accord, not the lx, long before the ex, it was so low on the options list it was carbed, also when i got it it didnt run half the time(didnt really matter, could not drive at the time)

well what changed their minds, how did you do it, because right now my parents are telling me the honda is more reliable

i dont think so considering the car im looking at has about 40k less miles on it, and the fact that i can get contour parts a lot cheaper off of here then i could honda parts which are really expensive, i paid something like 20$ for 2 little circlips for the driveshafts on my old 85
