What can you tell me about the CB7 Accord? ('91 model year)
Discussion
I was out at my mechanic's place earlier and I've always noticed this old grey Accord sat at the back of his yard. It's a 2.2i automatic with AWS (can't remember the trim level), which some quick googling suggests it has anywhere between 115-150hp. It's a Euro car, if that helps. Decided to take a closer look at it today and was pleasantly surprised to learn just how clean it is. The bodywork is damn near perfect, the leather interior is unmarked and - the biggie - the odometer reads only 32,000 original miles.
However, it does appear to have been sitting for a while - the tyres are nearly flat, there's a very small amount of moss growing from the bumper strips and - the other biggie - it appears to have been last taxed (and therefore on the road) in 2005.
Would it be worth it to offer the guy a couple hundred for it? My practical knowledge of working on cars is of a bare minimum, plus I didn't get to take a thorough look at it so I've no idea what I'm looking for. The way I see it, it could either be a ruinous money pit or the steal of the century. Any and all advice welcome. Thanks in advance!
It's more or less identical to this car, if that helps.
