wow what a steal for that car.
I wouldn't worry about the miles, it's a fricken accord.
I had a 92' corolla that gave me no problems whatsoever all the way up to 200k miles, until I sold it.

4cyl, automatic, cloth interior and 139K miles........

Unless the OP got the service records I'm gonna guess it needs a host of new parts including timing belt, brakes, tires are probalbley at 20-30%, coolant flush, tune up including plugs/wires.

Dealer probably cleaned it up and sold it for what they could get rather than dump money into it and try and get a few $K more.

Actually, the engine looks great. They replaced the tires right there in front of me. All brand new.
I have all the service records, the orginal owner took that car in for every squeek.
Brakes are great. All the fluids were replaced while I was there.
As for new plugs, cap, wires...etc..etc..for a tune up, I would rather do that myself anyway.
The dealership got the car in hours before I bought it as a trade in.

Actually it was $6550, but I sold my car for 1k to a friend of mine for the down payment.
I guess that does matter...lol.

Type-R stickers are on their way in the mail. I am building the spoiler myself though, from plywood from Home Depot.

heres some inspiration

Nice Accord Coupe I was seriously considering one before getting my Soarer/SC300 hybrid. Best looking generation of coupes. Didnt have the power I wanted though.

I dont spy a v6 badge though :( That would've bee the only thing that could've made this better(the actual engine, not the badge)
