Drive the Accord into the ground while you look for a replacement. Consider the total cost of the replacement and be patient. Look outside your rust prone area for the replacement. I flew from Newport News Va to Florida to pick up a car for Pop. It took 24 hours total to fly there and drive back, 800 miles.

2001 Eldorado with 60k miles for $6K. It got close to 28 MPG on the drive home. My 83 year old mother and I were competing for the best mileage and it was very close, since we were both doing the speed limit until 2 AM. 5 hours sleep and we finished the trip within 5 minutes of when we left the ground on the plane 24 hours earlier.

He loves the car.
