The holden dealership had $14,990 on my 94 accord vti when i bought it 2 years ago ( september 2002) but i happened to work at the same car yard as a detailer so i got it for $11500 with 163,000km on it. It needed a clutch but as the car had travelled over 160,000km so they were not obligated to sell it with a 3 month warranty. And for the price i negotiated for they said they couldnt afford to put a new clutch in for me. So i would have to replace the clutch with my own money after i had bought it. Lucky for me they gave me the car for a few days to test drive it and the gearbox got stuck in reverse so bad that i had to get it towed. I wasnt going to buy a car with a gearbox that would jam in reverse. Any way the Motor Dealers Act states that a car at time of sale must be able to pass a pink slip and my accord couldnt do that in the state it was in. So they had to fix it :-)
They sent it to a gearbox specialist and it ended up being the clutch that was causing it. The dealership payed them $800 to fit a new clutch ( i saw the reciept) and i was on my way in what was then ( 2 years ago) a cheap accord.
