I`m interested in a 1992 Honda Accord EX-R and a 2001 Honda Accord EX V6 and I am having a difficult time deciding which of the two aforementioned cars to get. Both of the two aforementioned cars are in good condition. However the kilometers driven between the the two aformentioned cars vary quite drastically, the 1992 Honda Accord EX-R has 75,000Km while the 2001 Honda Accord EX V6 has 140,000Km. Now I am also interested in a 1995 Toyota Camry V6 LE sedan with 120,000Km. Which of the aforementioned cars should I buy?

2001.

Time plays a role on aging a car, not just the km on it.

[JV6]

get an 01 and join the 6th gen accord club :)

[Eff-1]

hey guys I am interesting in buying two cars. one is an apple. one is an orange. what do you guys recommend? both are tasty.

[boatcaptain]

^buy both?

[Marioo1991]

Is the 01 Accord standard or automatic? Be careful of the automatic 6th gens, they are notorious for crapping out. Thats why on my auto accord 6th gen I bought a 4cyl.

Its hard to give some good advice without some more info. What are the prices of the two cars? any accidents? etc...

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

01 accord


why would u even think about buying a 20 years old car when u can have a 10 years old

[Marioo1991]

01 accord


why would u even think about buying a 20 years old car when u can have a 10 years old

There are many 20 year old cars that are in much better condition and run better than some 10 year old cars. What is the 92 accord was driven by an 80 year old who never drove it the winter, over 40km/hr and over 3k rpm, and the 01 accord was rebuilt and driven by a 16 year old with various issues.

Either way there is not enough info to give solid advice.

[!Aznboi128]

Since the 6th gen is v6 it's auto, try to get a history on the car. How many trannies its gone thru, rebuilt or replaced.

When you test drive the car. Slowly row down the gears one by one leave 3-4 seconds per gear and when it hits 1st if you feel a big jerk. DO NOT BUY. When you drive the car and the car shifts hard DO NOT BUY.

Tranny's are expensive to replace, and it's not worth it.

If you have any more questions feel free to pm me, I know too much about 6th gens... I own one and also a 7th gen

The 4th gen accord for sure, one of the most reliable cars i've ever had. Not to mention you can throw an H22A in there and rip apart ricer civic si and preludes lol;

[tofu1413]

ex-v6 breaks trannies.. i wouldnt buy one unless its been replaced recently.

i for one, being a cheap ass, would take the 4th gen instead.

sure its older... but those things are bullet proof, assuming maintenance work is up to date. (besides that little rotor in the distributor on the earlier cars..)

your choice really. its your money.

[welfare]

C. 6th gen, 4cyl. w/5speed tranny, full load

[hk20000]

transversely placed V6 is a no-no in my book.

[tofu1413]

transversely placed twin turbo V6 is a no-no in my book.

corrected. :D

[hk20000]

even without turbos that's a DOHC V6..... changing sparkplugs, sealing up valve cover gasket leaks, replacing timing belt etc are going to cost you twice as much than anything inline...

transversely mounted V anything makes no sense. Maybe the American V6s that are like pushrods and stuff....

[smk]

I have both those cars...

93 EX-R with almost 400,000km
98 EX with 160,000km

The older one had been trouble free but the newer one with V6 has a really common tranny problem.

[tofu1413]

i dont recall it being a DOHC..


should be a SOHC 24V V6...

[!Yaminashi]

Save yourself the hassle and get the '92

[smk]

Correct

[tofu1413]

if you dont have too much cash kicking around, i think the simpler, older EX-R is a better buy..


i actually think the interior material quality in the 4th gens are actually superior to the latest Accords *cough* 8gen *cough*

[!Aznboi128]

just buy the old ex-r

gimme some info about the 6th gen
I want one :D

[FerrariEnzo]

Whats the price differenct if any?

personally i like the 4th Accords a lot better.. haha if you plan getting the 6th gen, let me know about the 4th gen...

if the 4th gen is standard, its even better... a standard 4th gen is rare.. is it a 2 door? if so those are even harder to find nowadays...

this is a RS member's 4th gen..

perhaps one of the sickest in the lower mainland actually.

Damn I thought an Accord would be DOHC by the year 2000 lol....I guess it's a Mitsubishi thing.

but anyway having 2 banks is not cool if it's not going to make you go faster by a lot. :P

[maxxxboost]

I like the body style of the 2001.

So its up to you. Which one are you going to enjoy driving and looking at more.

[jpark]

people do cl-s 6 speed manual swaps to 6th gen accords... but if your just planning on keeping trannies, no huge modifications, i would get the low mileage 4th gen they will just never die no matter what you do to it

[orange7]

hm.. I think the 92 would have a slightly better gas millage just cause it's a 4cyl. Don't quote me on this.

Both the 1992 Accord EX-R and 2001 Accord EX V6 are automatic sedans. The 1992 Accord EX-R costs $4000 whereas the 2001 Accord EX V6 costs $6000. Neither the 1992 Accord EX-R nor the 2001 Accord EX V6 are rebuilts and neither of the aforementioned cars have been in any accidents.

[valent|n0]

$4000 for a 92 seems steep, unless it's been religiously maintain and seller can provide maintenance records
I would just keep looking, there are tons of accord on craigslist.
and I would definitely avoid the V6 auto for year 98-2005

[EX-R]

correction: sickest one imo is a boosted white one :)

i assume your talking about "ekoo's" white 2dr boosted h22 accord?

[JV6]

I own an 00 ex-v6 for nearly 7 years now and it's still on its original tranny. either luck or I'm driving like a grandma :)

[skylinergtr]

depending on price, status, and how you're going to use the car comes into consideration. As mentioned the tranmission on the 2001 Accord V6 have been problematic. The older accords are really nice. I've always been a fan, and they are super reliable and go forever. It does look very outdated though. It all depends on what YOU like better. Check both of them out. Drive both of them, and serious think about whats the better buy. Good luck.

[jtang84]

Now I am also interested in a 1995 Toyota Camry V6 LE sedan with 120,000Km. Should I buy a 1992 Accord EX-R sedan, a 2001 Honda Accord EX V6 sedan, or 1995 Toyota Camry V6 LE sedan? I need some more opinions about whether to buy any of the aforementioned cars. Thank you all for your help.

[LiquidTurbo]

Can't go wrong w/ the 92 EX-R. Tough as nails, cheap to own, decent gas mileague, great beater car.

[XtC-604]

i assume your talking about "ekoo's" white 2dr boosted h22 accord?

mhmm :) beastly boost that thing is, didn't wanna push it when i drove it o.O its so sudden lol

The 95 camry V6 is another great car. I have a friend with one with close to 300,000kms and it runs so good and so smooth, its unbelieveable. Ofcourse these cars can go much more than just 300,000kms. Reliable engine, reliable transmission, reliable in everything. Just one thing that a con. Its hard to work on.. valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, etc. Its hard to work on a transverse v6. IMO i'll take the 92 EX-R. better looking too.
