1986 Honda Accord Prestige EX A20A2 from Indonesia
Summary:
Lovely
Faults:
The name here in Indonesia was the Honda Accord Prestige (1986-1989).
First time after buying I needed to change the timing belt, oil and other belt for the maintenance record. Cost $100 converted from Rp.
In the first year, the fuel pump need to be changed, because the engine wouldn't start. Cost about $30.
Servicing A/C compressor, pipe, clean evaporator, etc. was costly ($170), but the air con is still not too cold.
In the second year, serviced carburetor, changed fuel filter and cleaned the gas tank, and after that the car was running more smoothly/powerfully. Needed to pay $60.
Plan to service the power steering in the next year.
General Comments:
It is a nice/lovely car.
I bought this car about $3000. This is my second car. Previous car was a Civic Wonder 1985 owned by my father - another reliable and good car.
First time I drove the car, it felt comfortable. The body and the paint were good. People don't believe it's already 26 years of age.
The cabin size inside is enough for me and my wife in the front and the back with three kids.
Have driven it all day long, but it still didn't overheat.
Thanks Honda also for designing such a good car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
