What about a 1995 Honda Accord LX sedan??? (tuning, buy, engine) - Honda and Acura -Car forums - City-Data Forum

My car search continues, anybody know anything about the '95 Accords? It has 130K on the body and they were replacing the engine while I was there to one with 70K on it. Any advice?

Very good cars, but strange they were replacing the engine at 130K... these typically last 200K+ miles, unless someone let the timing belt snap!

After the engine is replaced, have it checked by a mechanic. If it checks out, it should be fine.

Sometimes when an engine is swapped out, alot of fine tuning is in order. Much better if its professionally installed.

I think that is what happened. I thought it was odd too.

Buy it and swap an H22.
