Hello Everyone... Local Honda dealership listed a 2013 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L at 98,000 miles for 14,995. I talked them down to 13,300. What are the issues with purchasing a 2013 with that many miles? They do offer a 48,000/48 month extended warranty is that needed. How many more miles/ years can I get out of it? Thank you in advance!

 

Three years old isn't bad. But anything with that high mileage is probably worth getting a mechanic to inspect it.

I'm tempted to say it'll be fine, but don't take my word for it because I can't see the car from here. Since all cars nowadays have long oil-change intervals, there's plenty of opportunity for the previous owner to neglect checking the oil LEVEL. As good as Hondas are, they can still be hurt by lack of maintence.

 

Thank you @jimblake. I will have a mechanic look at it.... If a mechanic gives there seal of approval can I opt out of the extended warranty. That will save me over 3,000. I know I should not be so cheap when it comes to car. It's in my blood so I can't help it. Thanks again

 

Hello, Tlynnhonda
Welcome to the forum.
Concerning the 'extended warranty'... of course one should always read the details and ask the seller about anything within that is unclear. Extended warranties are (in essence) insurance policies and the conditions vary by policy, however (if you've already purchased the warranty) it normally can be 'cashed-in' for the balance minus any penalty.
