I am new to the Honda world so I need your help here. Until lately, I have been a Volkswagen/Audi only guy. I actually had a pretty bad opinion of Hondas and the image that the younger generation of "ricers" had given me. Now, I am all about reliability since I have my first baby on the way. I think German cars are pretty reliable, but I had to be open minded when looking for a new car.

Anyway, after a long time of researching and shopping around, I have come down to my final decision. The car is a 2000 Honda Accord SE. It is an Auto with 44k miles. Dark red in color, tan cloth interior, power everything, keyless entry, and very clean. I am getting the car for $9600. From what I have found, this seems to be a good deal, at least in comparison with other Accords of the same year and mileage.Can anyone give me any info on this particular year and model? Thanks in advance guys. - Ryan

 

Welcome to the Accord family..that is a great price on that car. does there seem to be anything wrong with it?

 

I have quite a bit of knowledge when it comes to cars (especially German) and I can't find anything wrong with it. It has a clean title and we (me and my wife) will be the second owners. Obviously, it has the VTEC engine. Are these pretty solid? I know that it is a variable valve timing system that is quite popular. Is there anything else I should know about these? What kind of things should I look out for as far as common problems go? I hope to learn a lot from you guys here on the forums as I did on the VW forums.

 

I have nothing but problem with a fd's jetta or in vw in general.

Those vtec engine is bulletproof from factory, nothing much to worry about.

SE comes with power everything, should be a pretty good buy for a daily commuter.

there's a recall on the throttle body getting stuck in the morning during cool start i think, check if your SE is in the list or not. if so take it to honda and they would fix it without charge.

 

$9600 is an awsome deal. I got my '98 accord lx 5-sp with 43K on it for $9500. We brought the price down from $12500. So either way, you are getting a great deal.

Keep in mind the 2000 Accord had a tranny recall. I'm not sure if this was on all of them, but I had to get mine replaced (free of course because of recall).
