It has been driven 128Tkms already by its previous owners...
of course it would be a different story if you contributed to that 128Tkms.

sad but VERY TRUE.

Me and the honda mechanic test drove it over humps,
in taffic, fast and slow and he says that the car is in very good condition. The original asking price was for 290K, but I was able to haggle it down to 275K. The never asked for an earnest money, but I realy liked the car when we test drove it for the 2nd time, so before we parted ways, I gave an earnest money.

I guess it's either you stick with that car or say bye to your 5K. Besides, you don't seem to find any problems with it, so you might as well get it already. 275K is a bit too high for a car that old though.

VTi-S: 15-inch "slanted star" design rims, fog lights, spoiler, 25th year gold anniversary badge...yup, that's my car, hehehe

worth considering: has the timing belt been replaced? the manual recommends a change by 85T KM, costs 12K sa casa - add a change of the power steering belt and the total sums up to 15K.

is the consumption of this model comparable to that of glennster's mits super saloon?

**corbon44** · January 16th, 2006 01:42 PM

I currently get a decent 7 km/li, mostly highway driving (but then again i'm a relatively light-footed driver)...siguro sa city traffic it would average five or six.

mukhang buy and sell yung seller...nakaka duda yung mga open deed of sale na yan at nagoyo na kame minsan...pero buy and sell or not...basta't ok ang unit...ayus na din.
kung 2.2L VTi-S OK yan!
btw, 130hp or 145hp ba ang nilabas dito ng Honda Accord?
kase sa USDM, dalawa ang engines ng Accord 94-97 eh...isang 130(LX) at 145hp(EX).

same car ako, around 5.3-5.5 mileage ko lately using blaze. mostly binondo-makati then san juan, mandaluyong, ortigas area ang route ko.
spacious sa loob and hindi naman high maintenance as people would think with an accord. halos same lang naman with 1.6L sedans.

badtrip lang nanakaw yung hubcaps ko. huhu.

145hp ata yung vtec 2.2L then yung 2.0L non vtec yung 130hp.

oh, downside pala ng car na to is yung headlamp nya. lumalabo so nagiging mahina yung buga ng headlight. but nagpalit na ako ng DEPO jdm style headlamps so clear as new na sya. hehe. pero marami namang cars na ganyan din problema. palinis na lang.

sir Icon, sa USDM...they offer no 2.0L on Accords circa 94-97...the base engine is two VTEC 2.2L engines one is rated at 130hp for the LX variant and the other 145hp for the EX. top line engine is a 2.7L V6 engine with 170hp AT only.

so i was wond'rin what is the hp of the locally sold VTi-S Accord?

**icon** · January 16th, 2006 09:55 PM

sir basti,
when i got the car kasi i researched and concluded (wishful thinking) na 145 hp nga yung vti-s. for a while i was even dreaming and thought we got the H22, PH22 kasi nakalagay :D
eto yung nasearch ko sa net, yung nagmamatch na engine dito for LX variant is a non-vtec f22b2 engine. sa vti-s the closest match is the f22b1 vtec engine.
