I used to have one of these, the 2.4. I replaced it, due to rust, with a Volvo S80 3.2. As much as I love my Volvo, I really miss my Accord, such a good-looking car!

What year and mileage was it? Looking at a 2008 with 70k on it, but recent MOT says slight corrosion on front and rear suspension mounting points, so I’m not sure about it now. Might try get a later 2010/2011 model. The. 2.4 version are few and far between now, there mostly either 2.0 petrol or diesels

@@jonnygti 2008 2.4 with 59,000 miles. There were no signs of rust when I got it, but about a year later, rust appeared on the fenders.

@@lvpvsmalvm522 only after a year, and only 59k on it? I know it’s a 15-16 year old car, but that’s pretty poor. I’ve got a 2005 Toyota Avensis with 120k on the clock, no rust anywhere, just a tiny speck the size of a grain of rice on the passenger rear arch, just where the paint has started to turn brown, so I rust treated it and painted over it. Apart from that’s she’s all good

@@jonnygti Yeah but mileage doesn't really have anything to do with rust, It's age that matters more. And Japanese cars have less rust protection as their JDM cars didn't need it.

@@lvpvsmalvm522 yes but my Toyota is Japanese too, maybe Toyotas had better protection? You’ll have to take my word for it! I’m in England as well, we have salt thrown on the roads for half the year. I do keep my car clean though, washing by hand
