Default Help me choose from 2 used Accords
Both EX-L with V6 engines:
2004 with 116,000 miles for $8700.00
2003 with 86,000 miles for $9000.00
I'm leaning towards the lower mileage car.

TIA
- henry

Any maintenance records?
How does the transmission/oil fluid look? Has either had the timing belt/water pump/seals serviced yet?
Those would be my biggest concerns

Find out when the timing belt was changed on each vehicle.

Choice should always be based on the verified maint records if the cars has them..

I understand that Honda transmissions ain't what they used to be. If you don't mind a standard transmission, get it.
