Would you do it? Clean 1991 Accord wagon for sale only 100 miles from me. This thing is in phenomenal shape for a 24-year-old car. Were I in the market, I'd offer $1500 and be done with it, $4950 is WAY too much. I always loved this generation of Accord, whether coupe, sedan (especially), or wagon.

1991 Honda Accord Wagon LX *NO RUST, SOUTHERN CAR*

I did say, "if I were in the market". I'm not right now, but man is that Accord clean, and I am aging myself by my love for the design.

Honda was hitting on all cylinders in the late 80's and early 90's when I was just a noob Honda buyer. All these designs were green lighted not that long before Mr. Honda himself died.

I had a '93 SE sedan & have always loved the CB-era Accords, especially the wagons .
Tried to buy another after my '93 & it never seemed to work out, ended up with my 2G TL.

Most have been documented in the TSX forum


Everything from new front seats, new steering wheel, new axles, all new belts, new chrome window moldings, two new window actuators, new expansion valve, new windshield garnishes, new armrest, new navigation..... (that is just off the top of my head)......


Makes Doug Demuro's Range Rover seem reliable. Though I think as we plan for kid #3 next year, I will have to replace with something else, currently considering 200 series LC. Would rather have CPO AMG E Wagon, but 3 big car seats straight across....

Jeez. I thought that generation of TSX was pretty reliable. Guess not.

Man up and van up! Yes!

Now they need to make a V90 Polestar Edition with a nice motor upgrade. That would be awesome. Oh and make it in that awesome blue the S60 and V60 come in.

I do think the V90 Polestar Blue will be coming, as Polestar has been very successful here.


This V90 is the first Volvo wagon I like, since my mom had a Canary Yellow 850 T-5R back in the day with the dark wheels.

It will depend though on whether or not they just make it a handling and appearance package. Also if the price increase is like the one for the V60 Polestar it will be priced way out of reach.

The awesome T-5R motor. A buddy of mine parents had one when I was in high school in dark green.
