I have an 87 accord, the previous owners SUCK @ maintenance. mismatched nuts/bolts all throughout.
SO FAR, I've replaced brakes (all around, not just the pads either), steering, a/c, cv joints, thermostat?, idle control valve.
my muffler FELL OFF the other day, a/c doesnt work (again).
HOWEVER, it runs!!!...and I was supposed to change the oil in Novemember of 2004!
