Engine Mechanical problem
1991 Honda Accord 4 cyl Automatic 239000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Im about to buy a 1991 honda accord with automatic transmission and 239,000 miles on it for $1000. I recently took it to a mechanic nearby and they told me after looking at it that it would be $780 in repairs needed for the car to run in good condition. FIrst off it needs front brakes. Second it needs A New timing belt and water pump with a couple of gaskets and seals. And third it needs a couple of new brake lamps and steering wheel alignment. Now im going to have to take the car after i buy it to get the brakes and the steering wheel aligment done at like a meineke or something. The $780 that im paying is just for the timing belt with the water pump and gaskets and seals. IS this a fair price with labor or is he ripping me off. all together with the brakes and alignment and timing belt and such its going to be about $950 for repairs plus the $1000 for the car. So should i buy this car or not. please i need some feedback. Thanks
