When I graduated from college in October 1985, I moved from AZ back to my hometown in California and needed a car. Dad knew the GM of the local Toyota dealer and we prowled the lot. There were a number of '84 & '85 Corolla's on the lot (the boxy style), but then I found an '85 Accord LX hatchback with less than 17K on the clock. 5-speed, burgundy outside and inside, A/C and the louvers over the rear window. Sold! I think I paid $8500 for it. A buddy of mine and I drove that car from California to Michigan and back in the fall of 1986. Best tank of gas was something like 44 MPG in New Mexico. I think all I ever did to it was regular maintenance - I may have had to put on a new set of tires, but I honestly can't remember. Traded it in on an '88 Isuzu Trooper for, I think, $5500 or so. Or maybe the car had 55K on the odometer. Sheesh - it's been 20 years since that happened. I know I got a pretty good trade in value from the Isuzu dealer. |

Replying to: michaell (Nov 10, 2008 1:49 pm) I taped some bicycles on the roof on a camping trip, I played bumper cars with my buddy's beater Tercel, and this car was indestructible. A day before I traded it in one of the front wipers stopped working. One of my favorite cars I've ever owned.
