If it was taken care of, 88K (hopefully not rolled back) is just startin' to
get broken in. As with any used car, my advise is have it inspected before
you buy. IMHO $5,000 is a little steep. I assume it is an EX model?
Depending on condition, what my mechanic says, and location.

My 92 Accord 2 door Coup 5 sp EX is in excellent condition with 238,000
miles!!!! I also have a 91 Accord wagen auto LX with only 142,000 miles.
Would I hesitate to buy another? NO! Best cars I've ever owned, PERIOD!

I have to agree about the design and quality of this style Accord.
I have a '91 DX 5spd and have to say it's the best car I've ever
owned. To put it more in perspective I also have a '01 Acura CL type
S and still love to drive the Accord. The CLS is much faster, better
handling and has tons of very functional goodies compared to the
Accord DX.
The Accord however has very precise controls, which made me buy it
new in '91. It has 98,000 miles on it now and does not burn or leak
any oil. It doesn't have any rust on it but have to think it will be
shortly that it will appear. It's been extremely dependable and cheap
to keep.
If I could have only bought the same car again new I could have
saved almost $20,000 instead of buying the CLS. Well may be more like
$15,000 with 10 years of inflation. The CLS is a great car but I
still love the '91 Accord DX.

I just paid $2850 for one with 100,000 on it that is ridiculously,
eye-popping clean. I think I did well. Average price I have seen for
an 88,000 mile clean car is $3500-$4000. I shopped my *** off, so I
know whereof I speak. I looked at close to 75 cars.

They are great cars. At that price, the timing belt should have been
done very recently and the car should be dead mint. I mean showroom.
