1991 Honda Accord EX from North America
Summary:
Perfect used car
Faults:
Since buying this car, I have replaced the PCV valve, the alternator, the distributor cap and rotor, and the valve cover gaskets set.
I have also replaced the rear defroster dash switch, and have a few minor missing pieces inside that I am slowly replacing from junk yards.
The most important thing I have replaced, and many other people will benefit from this knowledge, I hope, is the gaskets surrounding the rear tail-lights. This gasket is neoprene, and fails after a period of time. This is what causes ninety percent of all trunk leaks in this car. You can get replacements at your local dealer, but the best pricing is online. My local dealership quoted me 22 dollars EACH, while the on-line cost me less than 20 bucks with shipping for a set. I also get the little spring clip for the gas door at the same time.
I also need to repair my cruise control system. I'm thinking switch, but I haven't been able to find one (used) locally.
General Comments:
This is a great car. I am primarily a Toyota fan, but I wouldn't trade my Honda for anything less than another Honda or a Toyota.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have the same accord, just bought it 3 months ago. I've already replaced the distributer, brakes are going, and now its in my drive way waiting for a new radiator. the thing opened up like a book.
