I think they were the #1 trade in for cash for clunkers and for good reason.

I have over 313, 000 miles on mines and it has the same transmission in it. If they have done oil changes and trans. changes it will run like most foreign cars. If you are gonna be pulling something with I suggest to have the transmission checked.

Who ****ing cares? It's $1,500. If it was a total lemon, it never would have made it 178k miles. If it lasts long enough to get home, that's a victory.
Seriously, the thing is living in the bonus round. Just assume that it could go tits up at any moment, and prepare to spend another $1,500. At that price point, you're really just hoping to get lucky.

One thing I will never understand is how people can car shop on Ebay and Yahoo then drive 2000 miles to pick it up. You don't even know what you are getting and you already agreed to buy it?

I don't want a car that I have to worry about replacing an engine or tranny right out of the gate. I don't give a crap how good the rep of Honda and Toyota are.

Anecdote- i sold my 91 accord to the kid down the street 3 years ago. I see it driving past my house every day of the week. Had 220,000 on it when i sold it. It has been my experience that you will get your money's worth from that type of car. Or keep considering shit like explorers.

One of the first cars we looked at last year they posted a picture that was 4 months out of date. Failed to mention it had been wrecked in a race and needed all kinds of engine work.
couldn't get away from him fast enough.
