I swear, Honda's look better as they age. May Hy enjoy this beautiful machine for many years to come.
Exactly!
With mileage that low in that particular year model, I can see an extra 30 yrs of life in that Accord.
Agree
@@TysonHugie Honda Accord and Subaru Legacy of those year 1990-1993 were/are of "Japanese ingenuity Engineering and Manufacturing"... 💘 💘
I will share you my Happy and Sad Stories of our Subaru Legacy Model L ... 1992.
It has only 93k miles or 148,000 km on the Odometer; inside the Chamber it is like this Honda Accord in term of little scratches and the Cushion/Bench Seat in the back still look like new. Underneath the Hood, the Cleanliness like this Honda 1993 SE.
3 Features stood out in this Legacy was:
1/ that the Original Timing-Belt was changed only in 2019 at 140k km; and the Subaru Tech Lady who provided Services/ Sold Parts for us/me was born 1993; so at the time when we bought the Timing-Belt and Thermostat = *she said OMG the Timing-Belt is older than me* . 😂😂
2/ The Legacy designed so that you never left the Head-lights or Lights on = as when you took out the Key from the Ignition Slot; all light shut off by itself.
3/ AWD or Ready AWD Symmetrical that Honda Accord or Toyoda Camry those years did not have = Winter Driving where I live and drove up north to Alaska Highway...
I still have the Original Winter Tires and Rims Made by Subaru Rims and Bridgestone Tires since 1994! And bought some Parts like Column Steering/Control (assembly that including Levels of Signal Lights and Windshield Wiper as well the Cruise Control ─ Bought Brand New as Spare Parts.) And Black Bra on the Fender is brand new, never put on the Car; We/I also bought a spare of Maroon Mirror Painted instead of Black and intended to have the Car repainted by my friend Mechanics Shop; and many Brand New Parts for the Model 1992 since the Dealer that I knew they went to Bankruptcy in 1996; so we/I got so many spare Brand New Parts for Restorations.
The Worst New! Sad is the Car was stolen in late May 2023; and the Police could not do anything about the case! So mad!
We only spent $2K last in 2019 on changing Original Timing-Belt, Thermostat and Water Pump = since it cost extra only $500, so, we had they done so everything around the Timing-Belt would be like new and would help keep the Engine in best shape. The car was trouble Free for us since 1992 from Japan to the day we lost the Car; except that we had to replace the Alternator because here, winter like Minus 40°F/C during Last Week of Jan and 1st week of February. It is very hard on the Electrical Wires.
*We/I saw a a Subaru Legacy Model Lsi. 1992 was auctioned in Australia for 22k AUD$* - which had only 45 thousand original Miles on the Odometer.
My plan of converting our Subaru Legacy 1992 Model was not materialized...
That is all; and Cheers to those Classics Made in Japan JH/ JF and JT serial Number.
This looks so much better than the current model.
A timeless classic. April of 93 must have had some good crews putting these together.
Definitely!
That’s crazy! Total time capsule! It’s rare to see these things in such nice shape!
Agreed!
Rare to see one without rusted rear quarters! Beautiful car, had a black 5 spd back in the day great car!
Definitely! No rust issues here in AZ
What a beauty. You can tell Hy really loves this Accord. He was really meticulous on the upkeep and record logging. That's really awesome to see someone love a car like that.
Agreed!
I love HONDA, I own two Civics myself (7th gen 2002 EX and 8th gen 2008 EX) and I feel so happy for discovering this CZcams channel today about someone who shares the same love for these amazing cars. Thank you for the great content.
@@fernandoduartemolina thanks for watching!
Wow! Just wow! I owned a ‘90 Accord EX with a 5-speed. Wish it was still in my life.
Those are great cars!
Man, I love well kept older cars. Nicely done!
Agreed!
Wow, the owner is truly taking care of this car. It's nice to see that these days.
Totally agreed
That is the most beautiful car I've ever seen. My jaw is on the floor.
It's a beauty
My Grandma and Grandad bought this exact model when it was brand new. Paid cash for it so they owned it outright the day it left the lot. Had all the options added to it. Spoiler, fog lights, alarm system, cd changer. I absolutely fell in love with it when I was only 3 or 4 years old. My dad was a Honda mechanic so they got a few deals on the options too. 😊On this video hearing that good ole F22A6 engine wind up was like music to my ears.
They are great cars!
Nice car my guy, I own a 1995 accord ex 5 speed coupe and man she rips passed 5,000 rpm still running strong
Nice, they are solid cars!
love this generation accords. i still regret selling my 92 EX coupe 5sp. This accord is so clean that Doug needs to review it.
Agreed, that would be cool!
_"This"_
The leather looks great. The interior door panels are finished nicely. A timeless classic for sure.
Yes it's fresh all around!
Every Honda start sequence from that era goes "Epp Epp Epp...vrooom" LOL. I'm digging that umbrella holder...I just may have to request to borrow that patented pending bit of work for my cd changer bracket lol.
Haha def! And I love the starter too
I had a 92 and it was a masterpiece.
Agreed
I got a clean 91, It’s not fast, but it is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned in my entire life.
Reliable doesn’t even begin to describe it
Very nice!
Hondas are just perfect cars.
Definitely!
I remember seeing these new at Saccucci Honda in RI in Spring ‘93. My Dad was taking delivery of his ‘93 Accord LX 5-spd in Seattle Silver on dark red cloth and the GM was driving a gold SE just like this. The upgraded rims, leather, & Bose stood out & STILL do. Thanks for taking me back!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for this video, brings back so many nice memories.
You bet!
The best gen Accord ever! Brings back a lot of good memories of my 1992 coupe in Opal Green Metallic.
They are awesome cars!
Like it just rolled off the lot wow just stunning
Agreed!
I don’t think I’ve seen an Accord that reminds me so much of a Legend L sedan. Obviously there are differences but it’s about as close as I’ve ever seen. Beautiful car.
Totally agreed!
Yes this has huge Acura Legend energy.. I know the Legend offered a red leather interior... in the accord SE with the black dash i think the red would have popped offff
I had a 1993 Honda Accord LX back in the day that I eventually sold because I thought I wanted something more "sporty" but on further thought I wish I held on to it. That car gave me 12yrs of near trouble-free transportation and it had barely 120,000 miles on the odometer. Oh well, you live and learn. #HONDA❤
Thanks for sharing that!
What I like about the '93 compared to the new Accords.
- Vinyl headliner
- Rear door courtesy lights
- The user-friendly layout of the dash controls
- Less electronics (less stuff to prematurely brake)
- Replaceable headunit for aftermarket
I had both 93 and 2018. I still miss my 1993 more than my 2018.
Good points
Absolutely stunning!
Makes me happy to see owners out there take care of things so well. Neat thing is it's also a window into their personality.
I remember when the 4th Gen Accord came out in 1990. I was I'm 7th grade. I didn't like the looks of it at first but it quickly grew on me. We had a 1986 Accord. The 4th Gen was a pretty large step forward in refinement.
I always loved how shiny those wheels were when new.
Exactly! Yes you can tell a lot about a person’s attention to detail from seeing his or her vehicle!
@Tyson Hugie Yes, that too, but it even goes deeper than that. They tend to have really good likeable personalities.
I've met some of the best people at the track and people who are meticulous about their property.
always adored that generation. The rare fog lights and that giant LED spoiler third brake light is PERFECTION!
Haha I love the spoiler LED too
Simply speechless. I bought an Ex with 7 miles back in 1993. Thanks for sharing, it took me back to my senior year in highschool. Love to own one again one day. Please keep me in mind if your friend decides to sell it. Love the channel, keep up the good work. Appreciate you!
Thank you! I'm sure he'll read these comments and appreciate all the interest!
Not only is this a wonderful example of how beautifully preserved this 4th gen accord is, but also the fact it has over 130K means the owner actually drives it instead of sticking in a meat locker with 20K miles. I wish we all could take care of cars like this, to preserve them for decades while also using them even if it's "just an Accord".
Also this video helped me figure out my Vigor was built in September of 1993 so that's cool. I now know when to celebrate my car's 30th birthday, thanks Hugie.
Wow awesome! Definitely, gotta celebrate the 30 years!
Wow! So immaculate. Takes me back. This is the generation that made me fall in love with Accords. I wish my 10th Gen was this pristine. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Same here, I fell in love with the Montana Green 93 Accord Coupe SE but never got the chance to own one, my second car after my Mazda Mx6 GT was a 95 Honda Accord Ex I named Goldie back in the early 2000s. She had 93k miles on the Odometer when I purchased her for $1600 and she was spunky lol I love Hondas and Acuras to this day, now I daily drive an 05 Acura TSX with 250k miles and she's a beautiful car.
This would go for a haul on BAT!
Probably true!
My heart is full. I was one of those persons who commented when you posted this vehicle, I believe for the first time, back in 2018 and was wowed by its originality and how immaculate it was and still is. That video is a dopamine hit for me and I go back and watch it every chance I get, so for you to give us an update 5 years later is a reward for us who fell in love with this vehicle. I hope Hy is good. I can't believe cd changers and Bose speakers were all the way from those days.
Hy is doing great! And thanks for checking out the video
One of the most beautiful cars ever so classy.
Agreed
This car is like a rolling museum piece. Very cool - takes me back to the 1991 Honda Accord DX that my parents owned - I learned how to drive on that car. Great to hear that F22 engine running at speed. Thanks for posting this!!
Definitely! Thanks Tim!
Hard to describe how new this looks! Even harder to imagine it's 30 years old. Still looks new. Even the exhaust manifold cover is still nice and black after 30 years and 132,000 miles! Interesting this car was bought on my 17th birthday! My baby my 93 Integra turned 30 this February has 2/93 date. Just turned 120k miles. I'm coming up on year 4 since I bought it in July 2019 with 107k miles. Here's to many more enjoyable miles! Thanks for showing us Hy's amazing Accord!
Wow, pretty cool about your birthday matching up! Haha.
Incredibly clean! Immaculate! I car will try to emulate with my 1991 Golden Glow Legend.
Great plan!
I have a 1994 honda acty street van. These machines of this era are bulletproof.
Definitely
Nice. Wish my 99 was all original, but had it painted to freshen it up. My legend coupe is all original tho! Your vids are great.
Thank you!!
I remember when the 4th gen Accord was revealed and the general sentiment at the time was "boring". I believe "timeless" would be the best description. Beautiful, simple, classic lines.
Very well stated
My older brother’s first car was a 91 se in silver with black interior. It was lowered on stock wheels. This video brings back memories and makes me happy to see another in amazing condition.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed
I've always loved this model Accord. Beautiful car and very impressive to see how well it has been maintained. Beautiful.
Couldn't agree more!
I love the black dash with the ivory interior.
It’s a great combo
This is a timeless beauty wow
Agreed, thanks!
Sept 8th is in 5 days. Great looking Accord
Wow you’re right!
One main reason why I love Honda, a community like this and love for Hondas
Agreed!
I miss my 91 SE. I could never find a clean replacement for it. What a great car that was
They are a great design
I love this generation of the Accord!! I had a 1991 black EX with a 5 speed manual!!! I love it’s huge greenhouse of windows and low hood lines!!! I have had many Hondas over the years!!! But I will say this was my favorite generation
Totally agree. This accord se brought back so many memories as my neighbor had one and I would catch a ride in it grim school. I loved the big side windows and low dash. The leather interior really upgraded experience compared to the Camry my parents had.
Agreed! Great design
Made in Japan .. bingo! Excellent and handsome Honda
Yep!
Thank you ! I was young again watching.
Thanks George
This generation of accord is the best. My mom had a maroon 93 ex 5spd
Totally!
The best year of the accords to this day..
I have to agree!
It makes me so happy that there are people out there preserving this era of automotive history. The "standard" ( middle-class? ) cars of the 80s and early 90s (especially the early 90s) don't get the appreciation they deserve.
Definitely
Happy birthday to a classical car. I always wanted the green two door coupe but was too young. Settled for the gold four door CD5 yrs later. Honda, the greatest cars ever made.
Agreed!
IMO the 90-93 Accord is one of the best car ever made! They truly do run forever if you take care of them!
Agreed!
Beautiful! Reminds me of my blue 93 coupe Atlantis? blue green pearl i believe was the color.
I remember your SE coupe! Super clean...
Love from morocoo brother ❤ beautiful car ❤
Thank you 🙌
Kudos to your friend for keeping this Accord looking so great! I can honestly say I certainly do miss this era. BTW I just happen to be binging on your vids tonight!
Haha, thanks for that!
I wish every person took as good of care for their car as this guy does. What a beauty! It literally looks brand new 30 years later! He's got a cream puff for sure! I hope he never sells it and keeps it for more years to come!
Agreed! It looks and runs as good as new.
The flagship of the Accord range before the Touring took over.
I remember in the 90's seeing one of these models, the trim levels were of a level comparable to the Germans.
Definitely
I respect people who look after things. It's refreshing to see this level of care in our three-year-lease/easy come easy go society.
Agreed
beautiful car. very well-kept
Very true
I owned a 93 LX in the light/emerald green. It was my 2nd of 3 Accords so far. I miss it much. I'm guessing this car is long sold, but I would be tempted to buy it today. Cheers!
Oh it’s not sold. It wasn’t for sale!
What a beautiful car...the cb7 is my favorite Honda I would love to own one in showroom condition like this...thanks for showing us this car again I remember you made a video of it a few years ago...my compliments to the owner for taking immaculate care of it 😎
Agreed!
Beautiful Accord! That is really odd that the VIN sticker is on the rear driver side door jamb!
I agree!
Never thought id see someone more OCD than u!!! I still regret to this day selling my ‘93 ex coupe 5 speed back in 2016!!!
Haha Hy puts me to shame!
@@TysonHugie Kinda of you to say, but I've learned from you too ;)
We had a 92 accord EX in black that was the best car that we owned!! It’s amazing the condition of the cars you have!! Love it
This one isn't mine but yes they are incredible cars!
Wow what a minty should be very proud of the way this car has been looked after
Definitely
Thanks for video! I didn’t realize the SE had passenger airbag. I absolutely loved the flat dash on the DX, LX, EXs.
Good point, I should have pointed that out!
Actually it's an interesting story about why it was ever done. As many already know the dreaded motorized shoulder belts were used for the first 2 years followed by driver's side air bag for '92 and '93... except the '93 SE. For some reason only the SE sedan (not the coupe) came with dual front airbags.
What's unclear is Honda ever bothered? For one year, one model, they just decided to spend what must have been enormous resources developing, testing, redesigning a one piece dash for a limited edition model just to accommodate a passenger airbag. The cost of the tooling alone must have cost millions with no hope of ever recouping the investment, or did they?
Since the '94 (5th gen CD5) were designed to include dual airbags the following year my thought is this. Honda liked to run concurrent models along the same assembly line. Before ramping production Honda typically would run both old and next generation models on the same assembly line at a slower rate. This was done to gradually familiarize the employees with upcoming model assembly techniques. During those days many components and sub-assemblies were carried over from previous generations. By implementing the passenger side airbag on the 93 SE sedan it would gradually expose workers to the assembly process earlier for the upcoming Accords. Just a thought...
Always loved these CB SEs. Had a 95 Prelude SE in the same color in/out. Can't beat the Black & Tan interiors for my $. Adored that car. Still have a 94 Si :) Man that thing is gorgeous...Soooo clean.
That's awesome, love the 4th gen Preludes
6:10 I dream to be a Honda owner like Hy someday. Bought the magazine for 7th Gen at least 😊
Haha awesome!
My accord has 8 million miles and it still has all the original fluids from 1991. Amazing car
Congrats
Thee best Honda Accord model ever made!
Definitely!
Ten years ago, when I turned 22, I could have bought a fully loaded 1993 Frost White Honda Accord SE Coupe with under 60,000 miles and a clean title. I'm from South America, though, and these cars are pretty rare out there and too expensive to maintain. After I checked some parts' prices, I gave it up and went to Toyota. The owner later told me that he had sold it to a guy. Three days later, that guy parked it on the bottom of a steep street when an uncontrolled small truck hit and totaled it. Luckily the guy wasn't inside the car. RIP Accord.
Dang, that's too bad!
Wow! What a time machine. Beautiful
Definitely! Thanks Mark!
90-93 is the best looking Accord generation.
for sure
Wow that car is very clean!
Agreed
I put 451,000 on my 99 Accord. Easily could have continued but I wanted my 2017 energy green pearl civic coup. Which currently stands at 198,996 and counting. 😊😊
Awesome rides!
Hands down my favorite Accord!!❤❤❤
It’s a beauty
Stunning.
It really is!
Honda Accord 1993 automatic, same model as my mine; today sent to workshop for recond engine replacement...
Nice car!
Another great video! I have the same 93 Accord SE with just under 115k miles currently in the same color and trim minus the fog lights and spoiler. It's my daily so I obviously have a few paint blemishes and dings but still in great condition. I get offers for it all the time so I could imagine how many offers this owner gets when he's out with it. Hopefully I can run into this car one day since I live in AZ also, I would love to see them side by side.
That's awesome, hit me up and maybe I can connect you two.
I had a 91 ex and the clock would light up without the key in the ignition when you pushed the button next to the clock. Always thought that was cool about these accords. Very cool car he has, and i love that color.
Yes! Some Acuras of that era do the same thing with the clock button/door
That is one beautiful, Accord. Congratulations on your special anniversary.
#HONDA❤
I have a 2022 Honda Accord Sport Special Edition that's about to have its one year anniversary since I purchased it and you just gave me goals to aspire to. 😁👍
Congrats!
I bought a 2001 Honda Accord with leather interior used back in 2004. I still drive it today as my daily driver and it is still just as smooth as the day I bought it. It has over 226k miles on it. Someone offered to pay me $5k for it, even though it's book value is $1k.
Well-kept Hondas definitely hold their value
So pristine!👍🏻🇺🇸
Thank you!
that thing is perfect , thanks for sharing this video , i have a 91 SE with 85,000 miles it is quite nice , maybe i should make a video of it
Yes, do!
I picked up a nice maroon 90 accord. with 94k original miles. I love it. Still have my 96 accord but gonna have to get rid of it.
Great rides
CB7/CB9 Accords #1. What a great, preserved engineering and design automotive perfection!
Definitely!
Very nice and clean , congrats 👏🏻
Thanks!
Just a perfect Accord!
Very much so
It's beautiful!
Thank you
So beautiful! Hondas may be styled conservatively, but this car shows that they age very well when cared for and still look relatively modern! They are timeless like, may I say it, a Porsche 911!
Agreed Terrence!
How much sheesh clean I own a 10th anniversary one I want this one
Haha I don't think he'll sell!
Sooooo clean ! I had seen one listed in my area recently. Not nearly as nice as this, but I was very surprised to see the leather interior in an accord
Definitely a highly trimmed example!
I bought a 1993 Anniversary Edition in August of 1993. Car was totaled in the spring of 1998. I replaced it with a 1993 SE like the car in the video. Still have the car. It now has 354,000 miles on the odometer. The Texas heat, sun and lack of wax has taken its toll on the body. The car has some issues but it’s still going.
Glad you're still rocking and rolling, Dale!
Damn, I've got a 93 EX with about 140k miles and I thought was clean, but this one is immaculate!
Post a vid of yours sometime!
Pretty sweet!
Agreed!
What a nice car!! And now I want a CB7 :)
Haha me too.
Those oem fog lights are rare for those accords.
Agreed!
What a beauty!
It is!
