Hi all. I'm new here. I'm looking into buying a used, 02-05, accord. More than likely automatic. It'll have over a hundred k on it. Would love some advice about what to look for. What are the biggest issues with these? Thank you so much for your time.

With an auto you'd want to know about some trans service being done before = drain and fill of the fluid especially if getting one with over 100K.

Next, if a 4 cyl, pretty good records of oil changes and no major signs of leaks. The 4 cyl have a timing chain that will wear if the oil is low or not serviced on a scheduled interval.

If it is a 6 cyl, then you want to know when the "timing belt job" was last done. The 6 cyl have a timing belt that is due ~ every 100K or 7 years.
