Question Bike Rack Question

Question:
Was trying to get a bike rack for my 2013 Sedan and was wondering if a Thule that fits a 1998-2000 model would work?

Are the bicycle racks year/model specific or are they universal?

The link to the rack I speak of is on Craigs list @ Thule Roof Rack - Bike and Ski. Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't have one now, but I owned Yakima racks for quite a few years.
You need to check the Thule website or give them a call. Check to see if the crossbars are the same length for both cars. I suspect that they are. The 6th gen Accord and the 2013 are similar size (width).
Even if you need spend $100 to get additional new replacement tower parts to make the rack fit your car, it will be worth it. As a totally new rack system with bike trays will easily set you back 700$+.
