car hunting....

[princess]

we're looking for about a '90 Accord 4 door, stick for one of our kids.... Since we'll want to see it, Bay Area is required. If you hear of one, let me know!

Have you checked www.craigslist.org/car ? There's a ton of Accords on there.

Wow! Thanks! I'll check it out.

I found one here in Antioch. Looked at it yesterday, it was from Conn. & had obvious signs that it will be rusting out before too long. So it was a thanks, but no thanks! There's NOTHING over here right now. My hope is that she'll find one on her own. I really don't have the time right now to do her shopping for her. She just trusts me to find something dependable because I have always done a great job in finding used cars for our family!:D

I suggest you move up to the 94-97 because the 90-93 models are commanding top dollar, very very close to the 94-97 prices. Seems pointless to me because the 94-97 is infinitely better in almost every way. Just food for thought :)

She wants a 90. Some of them are for the '86-89 prices. I'm not the one paying for it so she can't go higher. (We've done that route before....mom & dad's funds thing) I said I'd help her look. She picked out her own Civic several years ago & it's now got nearly 400K on it! So she didn't do too bad. But she wants a '90 Accord, 4 door, 5 speed. So tha't swhat we'll find... eventually!

[princess]

She found on her own!! It's dark red though. She bought it anyway for 2K & it only has 94K miles on it. I thought that was pretty good. Whew! Now I'm off the hook......until next time!:D

Thanks for your help. I do appreciate it!

Wow not too shabby. Most of the ones on craigslist are expensive. There's a guy asking 2000 for a 90 Accord with 300k on it haha
