Beater reliable car for cheap - $1200 - 08 accord


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

275kish on the odometer. 
 

Bought from dealership with 220k on it. Carfax checked out at the time that it was maintained. 
 

Good:

4 new tires under 8k miles on it

Definitely rear pads and rotors within last 8k. 

Full synthetic every 5k

New (used) AC compressor and cold air. 
 

Bad:

Looks like all hell. Lugged around tools and a dog. Beat to absolute you know what aesthetically. All the leathers ripped. Probably some of those fun Pennie’s that are concreted black junk in an ashtray somewhere.

 

Front accident has bumper zip tied up but has held for awhile. Never replaced drivers airbag. Door is finicky when closing.

I’ve been keeping it as a backup as I rebuilt a transmission on an 02 accord I had and my rental car cost was $800 for the two weeks during covid. I’ve been driving it every 2-3 weeks to Kroger and to get dinner to turn it over, I went two weeks ago and battery ran dead on me. Fine with a battery tender now but will need a new battery after that. Just don’t need another car to maintain and could use space in the drive. 
 

Figured I’d see if anyone on TNGO wanted a cheap little beater. Not willing to deal with Facebook, can scrap for not much less but seems like a shame. Would trust the car to get me to Canada and back, tires and air are decent, just been through hell.

 

Open to trades, wide open.

⚠️ Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers ⚠️

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

  • Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
     
  • Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
     
  • Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.
