Used Honda Accord for Sale near Randleman, NC

Excellent commuter car. Ugly? I beg to differ--reminds me of my old 82 Scirroco! I bought it with about 120K miles for $600 in ok shape with a few cosmetic issues, mainly rust that occurred only on the top along two superfluous strips of trim. It had a tendency to stall until I found a loose air hose from somewhere under that rat's nest of carb hoses under the air filter, after which it has continued to run flawlessly for over 30k miles. The engine is very smooth and quiet and has good power for a 1.8L. The 5 speed is geared very well for both low and high speeds, making it a great car to negotiate starts and stops of city traffic. It actually accelerates well, even when keeping revs below 3500-4000 between shifts. It handles ok at low speeds but is terrible in the rain at 50 mph, though it has plenty of power to coast 85 on the freeway on dry days. I had the timing belt changed, I improvised some wiring (when the multi-switch burned out), replaced the brake booster when it blew out (the bolt under the steering was THE biggest pain EVER to remove, AND the booster itself was a chore in itself), and my driver-side window is managed by arranging 2 sections of 2x4 wood and 1 1x2 after the window regulator jammed. But hey--the car hasn't left me stuck in 30k miles! Even after I hydroplaned into a barrier on a particularly rainy day (see the handling comment above) it eventually started up with only minor cosmetic front damage. It leaks a quart of oil ever 4 months or so. It's been getting about 28mph in city driving. The seats aren't made to accomodate 6' or taller and I had to improvise the headrest. It carries quite a bit of stuff with the back seats down (and accomodates 2 in the back fine for short trips). Also, after 25+ years, there are no water leaks in the rain, heater works, AND the original analog clock is perfectly accurate!

Beat up car that needed a lot of work; I drove it till it died and it gave me everything it had. Fun to drive and sounded a lot faster/more powerful than it was. It was an 80s car so it looked like any other 80s hatchback. Good first car to have.

This was my first car, which I started out sharing with my mom and then drove to college. This isn't the ACTUAL car, but it's just like the one I had, only mine was dark brown. I wrecked the snot out of it when I rear ended a Buick a week before my 17th birthday. Spent $1500 of my paper-route money to fix it and it ran like a top for at least 4 more years.

This car lasted me maybe 8 months before the rust caused so many holes that road salt covered the back seat. The only thing good that came out of this car is it taught me never to buy used again.
