How come cars are so much in South Korea? I dunno if this is possible, but try and get a car shipped up from Hong Kong. Lots of cheap cars there.

Anyway.. my parents grant me I can spend my money to buy the Accord and I am going to get it .. before they change their mind..
I finally went to the dealer and test drove 1993 Black Accord.. 45min away from Seoul..
Here is the thing I found out...
- Need new exhaust
- Need new shocks
- Need front wheel alignment.. car draft to right..
- Left side two door widnows has been replace
- car shakes too much while in drive
- need valve adjustment..
- need new tint.. Rear window tint is in bad shape.. and also it has illegal front winshield tint..
So tomorrow.. (Monday) I am going to see the 1993 Frost White Accord. Woooo. 2 hours drive from seoul.. About this car.. I don't really like about rear door has been replaced... and rear seat arm rest thing is really in odd location... Here is the pic.. Looks like non-standard leather interior.. it also has customized front door speakers..

I keep thinking about Black Accord..
How much it will cost to fix all does stuff.... in US? (read my above posting)
Which ever Accord I going buy.... later on I am going to get new shocks and springs anyway.....
White Accord..... 2 things still I don't like..
- rear seat arm rest.. if you see the above picture you can see the arm rest stick out to the opening of rear seat...
- cutomized front speaker box...
- I am not a fan of Leather interior anyway.. so it doesn't better leather interior or not....
Thanks reading my long postings...

your description of the black accord makes me think it was in an accident.
Car that drifts may have simple alignment issues or the frame's not straight (not good)
Why were the windows replaced? was the car broadsided which smashed the windows and bent the frame?
The motor also shakes....why? is it a damaged motor mount? Again makes me think of a major hit...
still like the white one better...although it too may have been in a wreck...let us know how it drives...

HI.
Today (monday) I finally purchased 1993 Black 10th Anniversary Accord..
Dealer was asking $8,000 and I brought the price down to $7,000. Dealer only know about BMW / Toyota / Korean Cars..
So sold me really cheap.... with extra money I have.. about $1,400.. I going to fix up the car..
- Need new CV Joints (rebuilt one)
- Need new brakes
- Need new tires.. (include alignment)
- Need all of the fluid changed.. (oil/radiator/auto trans/power steering)
I check the car on the lift and no accident... thats why I bought the car. Reason for left hand side door windows has been replaced.. due to someone trying to steal the stereo... .. .
