Accord aerodeck 2.2 is it worth it?

Post by 106pete » Tue Oct 30, 2012 9:28 am

I've been looking for a cheap estate either running lpg or diesel to run vegi oil but they are all high mileage and not looked after.

And now I've found this accord 110968949124

It's quite local and darn cheap, ok it'll need a few small bits n tax n mot. I think £300 and it'll be sorted. But is it goin to be to thursty on fuel? And will I just want to put a 2.2 vtec in it!!

What do you lot think? Worth it or not?

Arnt they all 2.5 diesels? I had a audi a6 2.5 tdi and found it to be gutless and very thursty and everything expensive broke, which kind of puts me off.

The derv V70's will return over 50mpg - and are actually a pleasure to drive.

Just read up and the Volvo has the same engine as the Audi a6 but direct injection pump. Tbh I'm afraid to touch that again after getting burned last time :-(

A 2.3 turbo on lpg would do nicely tho lol
