so yeah, my dad lives and works about an hour from me. so i got a phone call and he was like "come up here, and bring all the money you have, i found you a daily driver"

so i show up and what do i see... a 4 door, 1990, honda accord ex.
ahahah its actually pretty sweet, interior is imaculate: it has power everything, power sunroof, and for some reason, has a factory CD player (i didn't think they came in cars in 1990)

so yeah, it has 250,000 miles on it, ahahahhaha but i only paid $100.00 bucks for it. just sucks that my insurance costs more per month than i paid for the entire car. if i get 20k miles out of it i'll be happy, lol

i was thinking about getting vinyl made up that says "my other car is a neon" and put like a million APC stickers all over so i look like all the other hondas around here

i'll posts pics hopefully tonight! and i gotta change my sig ::thumbs down::

I would cream for a deal like that. We could use a little commuter/daily runner to help take the stress off the Neon. It's only 2.5 years old and has nearly 51K on it. I got $150 for whenever you wanna sell it.

2.5 years for me was back in july 06 and i was just about to cross 58000 miles at that time.

and that was on a slow summer, i only have 63000 now because of a slow fall semester. i took the semester off to work in a co-op position. other wise i would have 70000 miles on it right now.

I say you should go with the wal-mart deluxe do it yourself spray paint job on it. Give it that muti-color look, and while your doing that you can spray v-tec on the side of the car.. haha

Ok, back to being serious.

Thats a nice find for 100 bucks, powered windows, locks, sunroof, and a factory cd player. You made out on a good deal, if you get a lot of miles out of that car thats even better.

My beater is a 1986 Dodge Ram

ZC is a D-series motor, accords have the F-series motors (don't fit, and the zc's also .4 liters smaller). I think you have an F22 in it, and frankly there's no need to swap it out for a different engine. But the H swap is popular.

Oh and zc engines were all 1.6 liter.
