Holy unicorn about $1000 over priced, but holy crap.... Ultra rare factory 5-speed, EX, Wagon with leather. If I had $3K I'd be all over this thing. Shorter 3rd, 5th, and final than the other accords. Best factory engine for the 90-93's. 11.1" front discs and factory rear discs. I don't think I've seen one of these in this combo, ever, much less a wagon this clean.

Wooo Seattle!
Categorized in my mind under 'rare doesn't mean desirable' but cool if it's your cup of tea.
136 on the clock, barely broken in.

I shot them an email, just because I'm a glutton for disappointment.

$147 to fly from Detroit to Seattle for the next few months during the week.

This is a very, very bad idea.

I know the 1990 Accord had them (same generation). Maybe there's an airbag in that wheel.

This is basically the holy grail of accord wagons. Wow. Due to number of owners, low miles, and condition I don't think its overpriced at all.

Yeah the 90 had them. Then Honda extracted their head from their anus and installed regular belts.

My parent's '91 had the stupid belts. I think '92 was the first year without.

The more I think about the price, the more I can justify spending about $3000 on it.

They used these at the TRC Proving Grounds in Ohio (next to Honda R&D). I did a co-op at Honda and went through driver training at TRC. They used accord wagons with manuals. They said they have stiffer rear springs and better brakes than the sedans, so they were using them for the training vehicles. Those things handle pretty darn well for a wagon.

Six states away?? Hah! For me it couldn't get much further away and still be in the continental US.

Coupe's also had "US Coupe" emblems. All Coupes and Wagons(through '97) were built in the US and exported.

I dont particularly care for post-3g Accords in general but i will admit to the relative coolness of that one.

I think it's worth what they're asking for just by dint of being one of those accords in wagon form with 5spd and in good shape. I dont know if it's worth more by rarity but it is by merit. It's an extremely functional and efficient car that's in good shape, reliable, and easy to fix. It's definitely in one of the top brackets of all autodom for those reasons alone.
