I bought used HONDA ACCORD EX'96 in feb with 62,000 miles.
car fax report says one owner.

After few weeks, cylinder 4 misfired. took to HONDA DEALER because as it is car. They replaced EGR valve but problem re-appeared. They did something with timing belt which solved the problem and reduced noise by 90%.
after few months, noise increased .so took it again to HONDA, bolts inside hood broke and oil was leaking out in the hood. They driilled hole and put new bolts. after one week, electrical harness of right passenger side got ripped off in tire. so right headlight and horn not working. Also, fan only works in ac.
total cost so far including new harness and cover: 1100.
car cost- 6750

shall i keep it or sell it after fixing it?
trade in won't give good deals.

thank you

Very unusual I would have it evaluated by an independent shop
