1st Gen Accord Spotted

**CameronJr9** · 02-11-2008, 08:20 AM

I saw this beauty at my local dealership this weekend. I only had the cell phone at the time, so these will have to do. This thing even still smelled like the '80s.

1981 Honda Accord, 587,088 miles. I'm checking on the price now.

Edit: They are asking $12,900 for this car!!

Nice....its the same age as me.

wow. Those are rare to see. I member my 90 accord coupe had like 230,000 before someone crashed it while it was parked on the curb.

thats what honda are known for REALIABILITY 500 thousand miles and still kickin, other crap doesn't even last 100 thousand miles and its all messed up already

I think it's 58,708.8 miles, not 587,088. Unless early Hondas didn't have a tenth of a mile counter. It's hard to imagine that the paint would still look that good if it was driven 587k miles... chances are it was some little old ladies car that was garaged a 6 days a week.

it may not have close to 600k miles, but i think a 1981 accord would def. have more than 50k miles.

i think it is 58,708.8 if u look in the last 8 its in white ... so thats the tenth of a mile meter
