I'm about to buy a 2004 Accord Coupe 3.0 V6 6MT. The driver's seat has electric adjustment; but the back of the seat can't be set. It can be felt that the motor is turning, but the angle of the back doesn't change (neither back nor forth).

Does anyone have any experience with such a problem? How hard can it be to fix this? Would it make sense to try to pick up an used seat (assuming that one can be found)?

Any and all info would be appreciated.

I have another question: the car has -- I think -- the factory 17" alloy wheels on it (and the tires are pretty much used up). I'm thinking of picking up steel wheels with winter tires for the season, then buying tires for the 17" wheels in the spring. Or should I just buy winter (or all season) tires for the 17" wheels? If not, then what are the dimensions for a proper winter wheel for this car? Any advice on tires for the winter? I don't want top shelf stuff, but I'm willing to spend money for a decent set of wheels/tires for the winter.
