Okay guys so i bought this car 2 years ago exactly on sept 7 2017 I bought it off a craigslist ad, and i thought i got a good deal, the car is a. a honda and b. the odometer said it only had 88,000 miles on it, and the people selling it only wanted 3,000$. So being a college student i bought the car, turns out i bought it without the title (my mistake) and the miles were actually rolled back and at the time i did not know how to check that, the car actually last reported in 2016 that it had over 150,000 miles. so theoretically i would of never bought the car if i would of known that it had that many miles. So after being duped by the dealership and going through 2 years of headaches tracking down people to get the car in my name just 3 days ago i finally got the car in my name, the car now has 130,000 miles so technically it is now over 200,000 miles, and all i can say is WOW just WOW, I have had no major issues what so ever besides an alternator going out, and a power steering pump ( which is located on top of the engine), so it was both an easy fix. the motor the the driver window has been out, which is not a problem for me at the moment. but this car has gone through hell and back with me driving from fort worth to midland countless times, never leaving me stranded, the car still shifts so smooth and it has so much power i put the car in first gear and floored it and scared 2 of my friends by how much power it had. the engine feels like it has another 100-200k miles to put on it, unfortunately i will not be putting on those miles i am going to get myself a brand new car and give my friend this car, because i was fortunate to find a really good job in these times. always always always check your carfax! and never buy a car without them showing you a title first! NO EXCUSES! i will always buy brand new now, but if your ever in need of a nice cash car and can pick up one of these, do it!

I bought this car 2 about 2 month ago and it's in a good shape. I love the interior, especially audio system. It looks luxurious and it's easy to control too. I was a little bit disappointed about the 0-100 or acceleration. You have to be at above 4000 rpm in order to accelerate fast. 240hp@6250 212 torque@5500 tells that u really need to reach high rpm in order to feel the good performance.

I have a 2004 Accor EX-L v6 coupe. I bought the thing on craigslist and it had a dirty title. Some very shifty stuff that the carfax did not explain such as a "flood-branded title" and a "total loss" that occured in May 2006. Somehow this thing has the dirtiest carfax I've ever seen, but it was taken to the dealer over 10 times (on carfax) for typical maintenance. I was told the timing belt was changed, it wasn't. So I spent 1300 on that w/ water pump, etc. Get a load of this, the car had a leaking rack and pinion and that costed me another 1000. I need to drive another accord because my mechanic gave me a high performance rack and pinion and this thing handles like a dream (maybe it should its brand new "rebuilt"). Bottom line....I got the car a year ago with 144,500 miles. It now has 147,445. I do not drive that much but did drive from DC to Boston 3 times and the car was a dream. Again, this is an old car, but if you notice that a lot of accords are on the road, it is for a reason. The fact that someone probably abused my car and it was in a flood (i really think it was not b/c 3 mechanics couldnt find any water damage or accident damage). As long as my tranny holds up (auto) I should be good. If you are a original owner and have kept up your maintence, keep the car. if you buy a v6, the rack and pinion goes at 90k-120k miles ive noticed from friends accords. They are great cars and I will throw another tranny in if needed because my car with its title is worthless and to me its worth 10 grand because of how well it works now. if you need new auto tranny, definitely look at willow creek out of SC. They fixed the tranny prob that the 03-07s had. but 02-06 is the real problem years for the auto tranny. Accord and Camry are 2 most reliable cars in the world and 4 cylinders are even more reliable but who wants a 4 cylinder? the 3.0 is a beast (has an electronic throttle that has a problem just live Rav4) very peppy at first.

Read these reviews and you see Honda is not the reliability car we were lead to believe. I purchased this money pit new because I drive for work and wanted a car that would last and not nickel and dime me down the road. Wow did I pick the wrong car! The transmission had a recall and I took it in at 18K. They checked it out and install a oil kit. At 48k dropped out and Honda would not cover the labor of $700. They did replace the radio that failed around the same time. Since then the power steering motor, master cylinder, radiator and struts all have failed and needed replacing for a total of over $2,500 not including the transmission. NEVER BUY A HONDA!
