Default Thinking of purchasing a 6th gen!!! Any recomendations? Problems?

Hey,
What I am looking at now is 6th gen accord (98-02), the one I found is EX-L sedan with the v6
Now my question is what are the potential problems with those cars?
I have already found info on the ignition switch and aslo that some of the V6 auto transmissions are complete junk!!!
can anybody add some other problems to the 6th gen!
Any input is welcome!
Thanks!!!

If finding the transmissions are garbage isn't enough to deter you from those models I don't know what is.

Transmission dies, then you pay $1500 to replace it with another one that will die.

You're better getting an excellent condition 5th gen. Unless you've got records a mile high on the V6, which I'm doubting you are since it's a "steal" and have proof the transmission has been regularly serviced.
