Latest Honda Accord Frequently Asked Questions:
I've heard honda accords and civics are two great reliable used cars to buy. You can find fairly new models for cheap. I've heard the accord is better then the civic in todays models but what about a 2002 or somewhere around there. Also I only have about 5000 to spend, is an accord still in that price range.
Answer:Alright a Accord is a few thousands more than a civic but with 5,000 the best thing to do is to look for a Honda Civic Ex not lx EX go on autotrader or go on msn and click on autos then select the year you like and can afford which you may buy a 2000-2002 Civic with 5000 cash and compare it to the accord or other cars that competes with it also if you compare it on msn sometimes they give you the wrong model trim remember ex is better because you have a faster car and a sunroof and more. Hope it works out
WE have a 1994 Honda Accord Ex that runs great, except that it overheats at a light or when just sitting. Driving is no problem, but sitting or idling - it overheats. AC is very cold but no heat comes out when turned on. We have noticed that sometimes the fans near the radiator cut off and sometimes they run. Is this an expensive problem or cheap? Thanks!
Answer:new radiator , or new fan mtr sensor ?
I'm planning to buy a 2008 honda accord and I was just wondering how it looked in black. I haven't seen honda show it off so I was a bit concerned that It might not look to good. Honda usually shows off their metallic gray and midnight blue.
Answer:The Accord EX-L looks very nice in black. I saw one a coupe black EX-L the other day and just last week i saw a black EX-L sedan at the Honda dealer while getting my Prelude serviced. Sedan: http://www.autobase.com/photos/large/03650028.jpg Coupe: http://automobiles.honda.com/images/2008/accord-coupe/customize/base_car/BK_exl_34FRONT.jpg The reason you don't see them being show off though is because black has become a played out color for Honda, more people are buying the gray/blue/white cars nowadays than black.
I have a 1990 Honda Accord EX and Im putting in new Kicker ssmb65's. I attempted to take the door panels off one time, but I guess I couldnt find all of the screws/clips to take off.
Answer:Unsnap panel behind mirror from the top and remove. Open plastic screw cap inside door handle area using small thin screwdriver and remove screw. The cap swings from the narrow hinged side. It is easy to break. Slide handle assembly forward to release hooks. Lift out from panel slightly and release clip on linkage rod with small screwdriver. Unplug switch from assembly. Remove plug from inside armrest cup and remove screw. Look for plug covering screw below armrest and toward outer edge of door. Remove. Grab lower edge of panel near speaker grill and pull outward. Continue working toward outer edge, pulling lower edge of panel. When bottom is free, work up both sides unsnapping clips. When all clips are loose, lift up on the panel to remove from top track. You will need to unplug the window switches and the door light.
Our 1996 Honda Accord spedometer works only sometimes, usually at freeway speeds only. Someone replaced one part for me (can't remember which part, but it was supposed to be the major one that all Honda's have trouble with) but that didn't make a difference. I've heard there are two major parts, and now I probably need the other one? I also hear this "other" part is expensive. Anyone here have a similar problem, or a mechanic that can explain it? Thanks everyone!
Answer:I had the same issue in my girlfriends 97 Accord Ex. I replaced the speedometer cable and all was well. After replaceing the cable I tore the old one apart and it was heavily corroded causing it to catch. The other part would be the vehicle speed sensor in the top of the transmission on the passenger side. On the automatics,some people remove the senser to top off the fluid,If it is not seated correctly or damaged this can cause a bad reading. Both of these parts should be available new on eBay for cheap.
