Ya defiantly research it a little more. Trannys are bad on those auto v6... 98 is the first year that body style came out so it def is gonna have a faulty tranny. Not bad asking price for what the car is though if its clean.

Def need the timing belt and water pump done. $750 job here in ny at the dealer...better use oem parts on a honda.

Also check the egr valve ask him about that and the fuel pump and alternator. they had bad ones in the 98's
