Why you should buy a 1998-2002 honda accord!

[@wmcguire1979]

Got a 2000 Accord SE for free a year ago. A friend going to junk it for $200, but gave to me instead. The car was immaculate inside. Had a few issues. Blown head gasket, needed a tuneup, needed a new radiator and leaked oil from the solenoid and the water pump. All in all, i spent about $1400 to fix everything. The car now runs perfect. Solid car. Th best part, when i got it, it only had 115k on it. The original owner drove an average of 4.5k a year. Wasn’t driven hard at all.

My mother in law just gave my son her old 2001 Accord EX with 100,000 miles on it. The paint is clean as it was always garaged. We just washed, clayed, fallout removed, polished and ceramic coated it. The interior looks new. I changed all of the lights to led, installed a double din Pioneer with Apple Play, backup camera, front/rear dash cams, all weather mats and footwell lights. The car just had all fluids changed, new to timing belt, water pump, catalytic converter, brakes, rotors and tires. Hoping to be able to drive it for another 100K.

At the time, everyone in the family had the usual late 70s to early 90s shitboxes so the accord (LS 1.8i trim level) was like a space ship in almost all aspects back then. It never lost THAT feel to it over its 25 year life span. Always solid on the road but not rattly or too harsh. Comfy seats. Good steering and a very snappy precise gearbox which still goes through all gears beautifully. The last generation of the real hondas if you ask me. Absolutely love them

I have not had any transmission issues at all. It has been a reliable car and only left me stranded once when the radiator failed (very common with all cars which use aluminum radiators with plastic crimped on tanks). Fortunately I was able to get to a service station and get a bus home. There is a lot of aftermarket support for this generation as so many of them were made. Used parts are also relatively easy to find compared to other brands.

You do NOT want to break a timing belt at speed on the 2.3L.

I bought my 5 speed 2000 honda accord for about $1000, it came with around 220k miles. However, I discovered the engine had been swapped for a newer version. So the body roughly has 220k and an engine around 190k. Unfortunately, the previous owner didn't really keep up with maintenance so I had to put about $500 into it. I put about 5k miles on it and haven't had any engine-related issues, now I only need to replace shocks and tires. In my opinion, it's a solid car if maintenance was kept up to date but if not expect to put at least $800 into the car.

Drove a 1999 Accord EX 2.3L between 2006 and 2016. Ran it from 94k up to 275,000 miles. This model had the A/C drain pipe directly over the subframe so that was not an easy fix as the sub frame needed to be replaced. Other than that, the expected replacement parts like ball joints, radiator, radiator hoses, pump relay board (solder fix) etc. These are great cars. Sold mine for $800 in 2016 to some high school kid. Drove like a dream for a standard 4dr economy car. Could feel the road back then. Can't feel the road even with a 2005 Honda Accord. They just don't make them like they used to.

[@hayzeusare9412]

Yeah the A/C drainage fault messes it all up. Subframe always getting attack with the A/C water, dirt salt with heat humid build up as result. To fix just extend the A/C drainage with a hose and clap to tighten in place, directing out of way of subframe, right to the floor. If your subframe is rotted out, must have to fix that. If you're lucky everything solid, nothing to worry. Just make sure it clean and spray rust protection after. The hose extention should prevent further issues. This happened to me as well. This is a common for all same models. I would add to list of recall if it we're me making decisions to be frank.

I've been driving a Gen6 Accord for almost 20 years now. It's an 01 LX sedan with about 267k miles on it. The transmission did eat itself last Christmas, but a replacement was easily snagged online, and while it was a tedious job without an engine hoist, I got the clutch and trans swapped out on my driveway. Like most transverse mount front drives it's not always the easiest car to work on, but the 2.3L is a pretty bulletproof engine. One issue I have run into is that it's hard to find some parts, like for example suspension bushings. Most of the rear bushings are worn out on my car. I eventually had to custom order a set, but it was a lot cheaper than replacing all the rear suspension arms. Now I just need to find the time to pull everything apart and get the old bushings pressed out (one job like this will comfortably justify the relatively minor expense of the Harbor Freight 20 ton press. :D

I had a 95 thought I would collapse when it was stolen then I got a 01 this car I like better.. great on gas low maintenance great on tires These cars are amazing. Thought I had transmission problem with the 95 but it was the D4 sensor replaced and drove prefect , 01 regular oil change and radiator hoses changed brakes replaced runs great had the 95 10 yrs have the 01 for 5 yrs

[@TY279545]

Automatic transmission is crap (both I4 & V6 variants), darker color accords have clear coat issues, ignition issues, rear wheelwells rust easy of your state use salt for winter, sun roof may rust and/or get stuck, door locks can seize, flex pipe always tear causing exhaust leaks... yeah, it's a good beater.

[@515speed2]

They do have smaller issues like any other car but are a great beater.

You may be young but your wife's my friend. 6th generation Honda Accords are awesome I have a 2002 and it has 230,000 miles and still runs like a top. It has broke down three times this month but they are all minor fixes and the engine is so easy to work on

[@angelofanella7860]

I love my 6th gen accord!!!

[@landfound]

200,000. I've had the car for 12 years. Never left me stranded. No major mechanical issues. I wish, I knew how to take care of cars when I got it. FYI: Tranmission solenoids are on the outside. No transmission filter. Power Steering Rack and Pinion needs replacing (Use Honda OEM Power Steering Fluid). Labor not cheap or part. 200,000 mi. Crank Shaft Seal needs replacing, leaking oil. Labor not cheap, but cheap part. 200,000 mi. My engine mounts like to break but the mounts are not difficult to replace. Buy a car engine code reader.

[@mrz80]

Mine has stranded me twice. First time the fuel level sender got stuck or something and the gas gauge was reading high. Ran my stupid self out of gas trying to make it just one exit further. :D Second time (I didn't pull the old gearbox apart to be sure but it's a reasonable guess) a shifter fork broke of on a 4-5 upshift. I couldn't get the car into 5th, and the next time I had to stop the car for a traffic light the busted part made its way into the geartrain and jammed the 'box up solid. Had to get it towed home after that little mishap, and replacing the transmission and clutch was a bit of a chore, but I'm almost a year and oh, 25k miles past that little mishap.

[@landfound]

@@mrz80 My tranny finally went out. The 6th generation Accord has tranny problems. I should have changed the transmission when I had the dough! I didn't have a car payment for at least 10 years, with the Accord, not the case anymore. Warning: When the transmission went out (I think that was the problem) I let the car sit for too long with no plates in my apartment complex and they towed it. Sad ending, to a beautiful experience. Thank you Mr. Honda.

[@JustTheTip556]

I like these cars so much I own two! Both EX V6 sedans. One (2000) is a bit more beat up at 235k than the other (1998) at 160k. The one with 160k has a fresh 80k motor in it

[@tearosy]

Why can't you just fix the oil leak? Ignoring the codes will bite you one day. I bought a 2000 Accord with 274k miles for $1400. It had same check engine light on. Egr valve was bad and cat converter was completely clogged with carbon. $900 later, o2 sensor went out. So far I've spent on repairs the same amount as I paid for it. Being a 65 year old woman I can't do the work myself.

Bought my Honda 2002 Accord LX 4 cylinder new It only has 103,000 original miles and the transmission is failing Had windshield issues gas leak gas gasket issues. I still have it but not fixing it Changed time belt. 1,000.00 for that alone. My friend has a 2002 Toyota 320k miles no issues. My trunk looks brand new as so does the backseat. I did love the car but trans issues are unacceptable. Oydessy had a first class action suit on trans It was failing at 87k

In addition to higher horsepower, more torque, AND better gas mileage (how'd they DO that/!?! :D ) they went from a timing belt to a timing chain.

[@mrz80]

The labor definitely can add up on these cars if you're not able to do the work yourself. Like most small front drive cars the Accord was designed to be quick and easy to manufacture, not necessarily to service. :D Some jobs are relatively easy, while others require the patience of Job and the flexibility of a sideshow contortionist on muscle relaxants. :D

Dude, you are a young man and my 1st car was a Datsun 510 to keep in context. I have taken ownership of my father's 2002 Honda Accord LX with similar interior trim, and you screwed the pooch by not stating that the 4-cyl engine needs a valve adjustment service... at least by 100k miles. Love this car, the transmission issue is resolved if you get serviced by a BK product or other quality product. The factory paint was water based, so your video was sad to miss this important point.

[@mrz80]

I've made it most of the way to 300k (267k or thereabouts :) ) without doing the valve adjustment. Just lazy, I guess. I swear to myself, "Next time I have the valve cover off I'll tweak the valve clearance" but I never seem to get 'round to it. :D
