MAN DAMN... What I WOULDN'T GIVE.. for a ACCORD wagon from 92... Heck.. when the car passed.. I was searching around for another one... driving my wife's car for a bit... Found one at a Local Saturn shop.. for 2g, car didn't look like in the best of conditions. Body looked decent, shocks were average, miles was 240k, my wife looked at me as if I was OUT OF MY MIND. Man.. Id love an Accord wagon.

Tassos Isn't this just a Golf Wagon with better styling and interior?I still cannot get used to the fact how worthless the $ has become compared to even 8 years ago, when I was able to buy far superior and more powerful cars than this little POS for.... 1/3rd less, both from a dealer, as good as new, and with free warranties. Oh, and they were not 15 year olds like this geezer, but 8 and 9 year olds instead.
