What'd your Accord look like when you bought it?

[NinjaPwrdAccord]

I'm just wondering w00t condition y'all's cars were in when you got them. My 1990 Accord coupe LX was 10 years old, had only 35,000 miles on it, was always garaged and washed every week, and get this: when I got it, the back seat had NEVER BEEN SAT IN. EVER! Not one single ding, scratch, or flaw. It looked like it was still in the dealer showroom.

[accordztech]

mine looked just as it looked like now...new...hahaha really it did, mine was the show room one with 1 mile on it.

check out my car in member rides and u will see what im talking about

i must be the only one in this post so far that didnt buy mine used...but technically it was a hand me down from my mom...so let's just say for my there was a ding on the rear bumper from a rear-end accident and some scratches on the right corner of the front bumper because my is an old asian lady that doesn't know how to park in a garage

[h22sparkle]

Well as for mine when i brought mine from the auto lot there was little dings here and there a little bumper to bumper blemishes and stuff. There was a picture of an old lady i through that shit out the window testdriving it. the window flew open driving in mid traffic with assholes speeding by and shit. I closed it while my pops was dring l;ike a madman wow i never thought a honda would have that much power though. I fell in love with it though I was going to get a civic but my originality in second best choices has gotten better.

i was on my way to go check 2000 model civics...
and always loved the cb7... just happened to see one for sale and was hookt ...
in pretty good conditon, altho with a 122,000 already on it and ive put about 31,000 on it in about 4 yrs...
minor dings is all and of course the forming rust spots behind the rear wheel wells...
i planned on just an alright looking car,, rims, minor drop, tint and head unit...
then i got out of hand and started wit bigger drop, bodykit(which sometimes i regret,,)and on form there...
but I LOVE MY BIA!

My car had 117k on it, with minor dings, scratches, and that usual rust spot. Now it has a hole in the wheel well, major dings and scratches, and a crayon stain on the seat... and 178k miles.

I haven't paid any attention to the appearance of it, since there's so much to be done. One day, I'll hav eit completely fixed up. Then I'll take great care of it! I'll be one of those guys who parks sideways in the back of the parking lot so no one dings my car

[BustedLX]

I'm the third owner of my Accord and I never intended on keeping it. I bought my car in Jan of 2001 with 135K miles on it. And man was my car f%cked up, lol.

I had just gotten in a bad car accident and totaled my Legend 6Spd Coupe in Decemeber 00 so I need to buy a car for transportation so when I lost the Legend I immediately decided to buy a 4th gen (92-93) and pay it off, I didn't want any car payments or I would've bought another Legend.

So I looked and looked and man where these shits expensive, most where around 5K and almost all of them had salvage titles and being sold by shaddy Cubans. So finally I found this BustedLX that belonged to a kid that got his girlfriend preganant and quickly joined the Navy. So his parents where selling the car on his behalf. The car had just finished being paid off the Novermber before (2000) and had just been sitting there. Plus it had never been wrecked (well once in a parking lot but that doesn't count) and it had a clean title. So I offered 3K cash and got the car.

The clean title is was really made me decide on getting it. But man the suspension was shot, engine was poorly maintained, had allot of things broken and rigged, the car was filthy inside, I mean there was fucking dirt UNDER the carpet!!!! What kind of an animal manages to get the underside of the carpet dirty, The body is shot, looks like it was never washed and like someone ran around the car with a hammer, window run channels where shot, car got hit on the rear pass door in a parking lot and I swear the repair must look worse then the damage.

But looks like 2004 will be the year the body gets fixed up and I get the nice wheels I want. I might even work on the interior I want. Man I'd love to have an all Black interior.

I always wanted a White 92-93 on Black leather like a friend of mine had but they are impossible to find. He sold his for 8K in 1998 so I wasn't going to buy that.

But maybe one day I'll have mine sexy like that. I'm a perfectionist though so I change things that most people don't. Rubbers and bushings that even the guys at the dealer look at me funny, I'm like man I want the car quieter or "like" new, lol.

It's a shame my car looks like shit because mechaniclly there really isn't another 4th gen I've seen close.

[1CrawlinAccord]

My car had the black moldings, rust on both rear tire wells, and was very high off the ground. But, thankfully, there is none of that anymore. Oh yea, and it was an automatic.

[red_gto]

As they say, pictures are worth a thousand words!

[cp[mike]]

my car was completely stock, im the 3rd (that i know of) owner. well i bought a car that was full of dings, scrapes, a good amount of rust, DIIRTY interior (dog hair, broken glass and crayons UNDER the carpet), old ass engine, literally decomposed front springs, blown shocks, and bald tires. i bought a BustedLX (pun intended) for $2200.

guess what, its practically still the same lol

im a perfectionist tho, thats why im getting into ever detail of the car, making it how i want (who else would spend multiple hours putting LEDs in their dashboard).

i had always wanted a 9293 white w/ grey/black (not leather) interior, and i found out those hardly existed, so i settled for a navy interior. i havent even had the car a full year yet so i guess im not too behind on the modding of it... but when its all said and done, this car WILL look how i want it. and i have lots of ideas for it that ive never seen been done before, so its gonna be unique too. i have a full stock grey interior waiting for me to swap in, i just need to make an appt and get down to NJ and swap it.

the h22 came by luck, that i found a car with such high mileage. also knowing that i was gonna wanna do an h22 swap to whatever car i got, i bought one... so the second of the major high-price things was met (#1. car, #2. swap, #3. body work). but man my car body really needs alot of work, the whole right side is scraped, theres rust running up the whole left side, and i see my crooked car (left side is lower than the right. why? beats me.) im riding on a screwed up suspension ($15 set of used oem shocks from acclude91), ugh my car is depressing to look at. but i know i need to just give it time and itll turn out ok.

busted, i read ur post, and it reminded me completely of myself. except im sure ur car is mechanically a million times better than mine.

deever... me too. when my body is fixed and painted, KEEP THE FUCK OFF

Caps lock really isn't necessary...

red_gto... Aside from the wing, that doesn't look too bad. I like the wheels! I'm guessing you weren't a fan of the yellow though... Either way, I'd rock the before or the after!

[xplode]
