Re: is an 87 honda accord worth fixing?
I just did a little checking...KBB's webiste won't let me go back as far as '87, '92 is far back as they price values...but a 1992 Accord with your mileage in GOOD (running and appearance) condition private party value is only $1156...or roughly half the cost of what you'd pay to fix this one, which I suspect would only be worth $800 or so even if it did run fine.
Now a smart move MIGHT be to find another Accord of the same generation that ran well and you'd have a set of new tires and a lot of spare parts on tap...depends on whether you can have a non-runner sitting around where you live, etc...
It's not going to be worth anything above scrap value to a salvage yard, they don't mess with cars over ten years old, not enough demand for those parts to be worth having them take up yard space.
Your best bet if you aren't going to use it as a donor would be to sell it on craigslist or something, hopefully you'd be able to find someone that has one maybe that runs well but is damaged or rusty that might wanna put their motor in yours and have a nice car...that person would probably pay a little more than what it's worth just as a non-runner with some problems...
