Re: Looking to buy an Accord, need advise (lots of questions).
1. Is the Accord the same as the Integra where the 90 and 91 are OBD-0 and the 92-93 OBD-1? Also, what are the generations?
as far as generations, i dont know before the 4th, but 90-93 = 4th gen. 94-97 = 5th gen. 98-02 = 6th gen 03= 7th gen
2. Is there a certain year I should avoid?
3. Are there any special editions that I should look for.
4. I heard that the EX has 150 hp compared to the LX's 140 hp. Is that true?
6th gen 150 all i think.
5. Is it a bad idea to get an auto? I heard Older Honda auto's don't last that long.
6. Are there quarkes or problems that I should look for?
7. What color combinations were offered in both interior and exterior.
8. Does anyone know how many of each model were made each year just to see how rare some cars are?'
If anyone has any other information they want to share about the 94-95 please do so. Thanks in advance :thumbup:

picked up my white 95 ex sedan auto with 120k in 01 for $6300. there are some little problems in the 5th gen but that shouldn't sway you from buying one. examples are: A/C temp knob, slow windows, bad powerlock motors, glovebox light comes on unless you rig it, etc...Nothing big. The 94-95 look better IMO and they are a lot cheaper compared to 96-97. Manual EX are hard to find but they are out there. My friend picked up a 97 EX manual with 57k last year for 10 G's 
I like my accord because it looks good and it's roomy. I tell everyone this: If you want speed, Accords aren't for you.

Actually, the 4th gens don't have vtec, trust me I had one.

yeah, 4th do not have vtec. If you are going to get a 4th, which i like better, get a 92-93, because it does not have power seatbelts=pain in ass.
Tail lights on 92-93 are nicer.
But if you find an SE, they are auto, but the 91's have black leather, and the other years may as well.

You can pick up a 5th gen. Accord for about $5 k if youre patient. I picked my 96' Lx up about a month and a half ago for $4300 tax, title, out the door, so its not really difficult, just gotta have the patience if youre looking for a great deal.

well...
I would go with 92~93 EX or 95 EX..
Why?
92~93 EX
1. Moonroof
2. F22A6 Engine
3. ODB-I (Helpful with H22A swap)
95 EX
1. ODB-I (Helpful with H22A swap)
2. better looking OEM rims
3. Standard Accord VTEC Engine.
4. Moonroof
With your price range.. 92~93 EX is better choice..
Cheaper than 95EX and + have some money left to
do some basic maintance.. or other things..
