How reliable are 1988 Honda Accords?
Added (1). I'm looking at one on Craigslist with 334,000 miles on it. 5 speed manual, body looks ok with little rust and rough paint. Interior looks very clean. If the car turns out to be in good condition, how many more miles could I make it last? How should I maintain it?
Being a 26 year old car thing might go wrong that you would least expect. I would not expect the car to be in good condition although the owner might have than car of the car mechanically.

The 1988 Honda Accord is a very reliable car. But, and that is a big but, this car has 334,000 miles on the odometer. With that many miles anything can fail at any time. Also the 1988 Honda Accord has an interference engine which means you MUST change the cam belt every 60,000 miles. If you do not and the belt breaks you will have serious engine damage. The very cheapest you could get the belt replaced would be around $225. Unless you know positively when it was last changed you would have to change it immediately after buying the car. I personally would advise against buying any car with this many miles. Everything on the car is going to be worn out unless lots of things have been replaced. Struts, exhaust system, all steering parts, suspension parts, transmission, clutch, etc. So many things that will cost allot to repair. The car is just not worth much. Maybe if you could buy it for around $250 it might be worth taking a chance on.
- Motorcycle honda-1988-hurricane-1000F t-connector o-rings leaking? I was told i can just get some from the hardware store and they will work. i tried it and it leaked for a day but sealed up after the fuel made them swell. but after 3 days of no fuel in system they started leaking again… The honda shop wants 28.00 for 4 of them… any idea's out there. I really want to ride this bike a few times before i have to give it up for good…
- Why won't my 1988 honda accord go up hills? It sometimes dies when i start it and rmps are high in park but go down when i touch the gas. It seems like the motor is running good but it keeps overheating and refuses to go more then 15 mph up any hills. I'm not sure if the over heating has something to do with it, it wants to go but it can't, the training seems to shift okay it just seems like there's no power? Could it be the timing? Any advice will help!
- Why do the newer Honda Accords and Civic Touring models have LED strip light as headlights? I get it yes they have LED daytime running lights my Rogue has that. But how come their headlights instead of it being one bulb that shines, its like a whole line of bulbs? and how come Honda only does that? My friend has LED headlights on his charger and it is just one bulb.
- Why are honda accords so expensive? They are so plain looking and dull? I'm just surprised. I thought they were cheaper. For 30 grand I could get something so much nicer.
