The third generation Honda Accord hatchback is was built from 1985 through 1989 and it features a few things that other accords didn’t have including…double wishbone front and rear suspension, and pop-up headlights. Guess which one of those features is gonna get you more points at the next classic 80s Japanese car show? Find this 1987 Honda Accord offered for $5,500 in New York via craigslist. Tip from Cory.
This next car comes from the year 1983, which was the year of the theatrical release of Return of the Jedi and the year of the first mobile cell telephone call. If that doesn’t sound very long enough — check your calendar. This car left the factory 38 years ago. So if anyone looks at it like a potential cheap daily driver, remember it is a classic. Not that you couldn’t drive it every single day, but then I know people who drive vintage Beetles every day, so can be a daily or a classic. One last thought — forward hinged hoods rule.

The 2nd generation Honda Accord was sold from 1982 through 1985 in the USA and these things were everywhere. Honda was selling so many of these things that they decided to build them in the USA. Starting in 1983, most Accords sold east of the Rockies were assembled in a plant in Marysville, Ohio. It appears this one was originally sold in CT, so it is probably one of those Marysville Accords, but it does look in great shape for the age.

It feels strange to recommend a model year 2000 Honda Accord with a slushbox auto to anyone who enjoys driving…but what if you don’t enjoy driving that much and you really just need something to get you from point A to point B and back to point A and then maybe a point C and do all of that without needing to press out differential bushings in your own garage..then…wow that is a run-on sentence. Yes, a used Honda Accord with 58k miles is still just a Honda Accord…but it is offered at one fifth the price of a new Accord and has at least half the value left in it.

I’ve had a number of conversations with “in the know” car guys who agree that the market for cheap (sub $4k) cars has changed in the past few years. The days of finding cars that are simply depreciated and not slammed, stanced, bashed, or bro’d for a few thousand dollars is maddeningly behind us. It […]
Our discussion the other day about craigslist, Hemmings, and BaT brought out some interesting observations on the “collector” car market and it seemed a consensus here on DT people want cheap but interesting cars that can be driven…not stupidly overpriced show queens that are only valueable if the odometer reading is kept low. (Did you […]
This next car comes as a tip from Matt C who writes: Only slightly less unexpected than the Spanish Inquisition. From the side, you wouldn’t expect anything serious going on – just an old Honda with some cheap rims. Plenty of cars out there with a few cosmetic mods and not much money under the hood, […]
The bidding on this next car is a tad optimistic. The glass isn’t just half full…the golden goblet is filled to the brim with emeralds and rubies, but wow…what an ad. The car is probably certainly terrible, but the youtube commercial is top notch. Find this 1996 Honda Accord EX bidding for something insane like $50k […]
If you visit the island of Japan you will find many people driving small wagons, but for whatever reason the Japanese product planners decided that American buyers didn’t want (or deserve?) to get the 5-door version of most of their machines. An exception is the 5th generation of the Honda Accord, like this 1997 Honda […]
