My 95 Prelude took a dive over the winter and is in a coma. Just found the Accord for $3500. Granted its got 182k on the clock but that still follows the average.

My question is what problems can I expect? The seller just replaced one axle, needs the other now, all 4 brakes and rotors, no motor leaks, drives and shifts smoothly, needs a pass mirror and window clip and PAINT omg it needs paint. clear coat is gone.

I plan to repair it and trade it in a year or so if I dont become attached.

 

Is it an Automatic? '98-'02s are notorious for lunching the ATs

 

yup transmission problems...

 

Yes it is an AT. I assumed that would be called for knowing about Honda Odyssey tranny's crapping out.

I REALLY dont like the fact you can bump the shifter DOWN to D3 without pressing the button. BUT its only had 3 owners, the seller is a mid 40's woman with LOTS of receipts for repairs (Drivers CV axle and now needs pass side, 4 new tires, serp belt, all 4 brakes and rotors, alignment, and a few oil change slips) I drove it. shifts very smoothly, no funny sounds, I couldnt even hear the bad axle. But with 182k on an AT I'm sure something will happen.

Anything else?

 

Maybe she had the transmission swapped when they were recalled by the stealership...
