  1500 put into a 2003 Honda Accord is COMPLETELY different than putting that into a 2016.

  Yeah you will do it every six months.

      I guess you have never dealt with the bullshit hassle of a 23 year old car…

        I own six 20+ year old cars. Don’t talk shit about stuff you have no clue about.

        Old cars are work for sure, but if you are willing to learn it’s not bad.

        I have a 2007 Mustang. I’ve replaced the entire front suspension, rear differential, and paid an upholsterer to replace the convertible top. I upgraded the radio and put in a 10inch touch screen with Wireless carplay and integrated backup camera. Next up is dropping the trans to replace the clutch plates, throw-out bearing, resurface the flywheel, and replace the rear main seal on the engine while I’m down there because the flywheel is rusty accumulates a thin layer every morning that makes a grinding noise for 30 seconds until it grinds off.

        It definitely doesn’t just work like a new car, but since I do the work myself it also doesn’t cost me much.

    Honda Accords from that era are remarkably reliable, and can last for upwards of 250k miles
