Re: 1995 Honda Accord LX 5spd clutch
Actually, I would hope not. Years ago, Subaru had a commercial that
said that "A car is metal, glass, and plastic, and if your car
impresses your friends, you live amongst snobs."
A quote I use all of the time.
Unfortunately, the car is valued at $3000 tops, and scraped up with the
AC gone (Im living in the South). I just don't want to be sinking
money into something which is costing me more to maintain. I know it
is a good car, but I swear I must have sunk $4K into it over the last 3
years.
Secondly, it is hard to guage a mechanic. I trusted my old home town
mechanic until his ex-wife called him a crook at a BBQ.

I know the feeling. I finally went from an '89 Prelude Si 5spd to an '05
Accord 5sp manual. Loved the Prelude but cost of maintenance was getting
annoying, especially when unusual things go wrong.
After a year of driving the Accord, it's nice to not really worry about
unusual maintenance and know the car is reliable. Just oil changes, rotate
tires, etc. Have car payments now but the peace of mind is great. Also the
a/c was out on the Prelude and other little minor things I knew had to be
addressed sooner rather than later. I'm in Maryland and it's great to have
working a/c again! (Also to defrost the windows).
