Welcome to IWETHEY!

New A wise choice..
At least, as far as my hearsay goes. The repair record of a friend's '93 LS has been typical: 0. (Oh yes - one of the air registers in dash is stuck.) No 'repairs', only maintenance + auto body repairs after physics laws weren't broken.

I'm still impressed by how well her (maintenance-free) interior has held up - the materials in door panels for ex. appear to me about the best compromise for longevity and not-tacky - in anything near the price.

(I'm biased, of course - having bought another '94 Acura model, after considerable research.)

I don't think those are stock wheels [??]. As Integras are popular in the "cold air intake" nee bling-bling set.. any info about previous owner? (His/Her age ;-)

Since you aren't a mechano-obsessed type:
suggest you grab all the dealer maintenance records you can (local one may be able to get these just with VIN#.) You definitely want to Know if/when the fabric timing belt (and water pump) were replaced VS miles on clock. That is an "interference" engine (as is my 5 cyl.) ie. valves can / probably Will hit pistons if that belt breaks, much above idle speed. Belts are rated at 80-100K miles or: 6-7 years. I know some sad stories..

If a less-than savvy previous owner: good insurance to change/bleed new fluid to all the brakes. Most of the troops change all fluids, on acquisition of a car, unless they know the previous; have all records. Maintenance gets neglected, y'know?

The premium-Hondas (as Acuras are), especially up to mid-90s -- regularly top 200K mi without any real repairs - unless owned by cretins. (I'd have opted for a clean Integra, but their quality rep inflates price.. so I went with a sleeper of equiv. unbreakableness - but a model ~nobody ever heard of. A quite more expensive car, for less.)

But the Integra size is saner! as I'm reminded when in the '93.. Can't have it all.



Luck - it's always a crap shoot, what with all them *&^$#$%% computers spread around the works.

New Bought it from a dealer.
Dealer actually just replaced the timing belt. I have a receipt for ~$1400 of work they did on it getting it salable, all guaranteed for 12 months. Had it checked out by the mechanic here at my work (we have a large automotive program, the guy in charge and I get along well - I fix his computer, he fixes my car) and he gave it a clean bill of health, other than that the spark plugs need changing and the rear struts are eventually going to have to be replaced.
