Reliability of Accords and 200SX's worth the price in parts?
Im trying to decide if the reliability of these 2 cars is worth the price that places charge in parts for them. Are you able to pick up things like water pumps, alternators, brake calipers etc, at autozone for Accords and Nissan 200SX's?
How many miles do u have on your accords and 200sx's.. Any input on these would be great. Anything i need to look out for on these cars.
I need something reliable and decent looking while the camaro gets beauty sleep and enhancements.

parts are 3x as much, i had many reliabilty issues with both my hondas i used to own, but you might get lucky. 
if you really want an accord though id get a 94-95 they look the best IMO.

i've got 148000 on my accord.
92 & 93's are best looking, imo.
i've never had any problems. this is my second accord, too.
(first one got smashed up)
my sister has a 6th gen accord, and has no problems either.

The Jeep has found a new Home.. Trying to use it as an everyday driver wasnt good... specially when i was driving 30 minutes to get to work.. Going to school wasnt bad.. Ate lots of gas. The z28 is great on gas compared to the Jeep... The jeep was more fun when i was cruising with 4 people though. Shes got a good home now and i can visit her 
Yeah Shaun my z28 has an acceleration problem too... I need to continue to work on it

my friend has a 91 5.0 and has many reliability issues. i guess its all in how you take care of your car.
my father is a ford fan like you road rage, he has a 63 ford pickup and a 03 f150 lariat. even though hes a ford fan, he buys a new truck every year because he says fords are pieces of shit!
and are not reliable. he is a contractor so he has to have a truck, but when he retires hes going BMW.

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

My bro had a 200SX SE-R with a bunch of mods and that thing was quik as fuck. Reliablity was never an issue, he had nearly 100K on the car before he totalled it, and the biggest prob was the clutch (which suprisingly lasted that long considering we drove the shit outta it). Just make sure you buy a clean 200 thats been takin care of and youll be ok.
