I was gonna keep the miata, and then I realized that I wanted something with a solid roof and more space, so after saving up my money, I went out and bought what is turning out to be the most reliable car I've ever had.

thats kinda the same reason i want one but wont buy it...6'3" and i couldn't deal with it getting broken into or having the top slashed all the time.

the accord is pretty reliable...just have to stay on top of wear items because lots of parts dont have a replacement "interval" and only need to be changed when they need to be changed. the miatas are kinda like that, too...only the accord can go slightly longer between timing belt changes :lawl:

Welcome to 6GA man, car looks to be in good condition. Hopefully it got no rust spots or any other issues and it's been treating you well :)

One recontamination i'd have is do a tuneup on it if you do not know when the old owner did one. IE. plug, wires, cap, rotor, some fuel injector cleaner, engine air filter(even the cabin one for your own health).
Set your tire pressure to 33-34psi when cold(car been sitting for 3h); and unless you haven't already, check your ball-joints/suspension parts etc for extra play.
Another easy thing is just check and top-up all fluids(oil/tranny fluid/coolant/brake fluid/power steering/washer fluid etc).
Also try and find out when the old owner did a timing belt/water pump change along with any other major items.
This way you can create your own intervals of when things will need to get changed/checked again.

PS. Happy Holidays.
