Default 97 Accord SE Coupe first time Honda owner

Hello everyone I just bought a 97 Accord SE Coupe automatic with 155k miles for $2300 (I think I got a good deal). I love the car so far. Came with a stack of receipts from all the maintenance that's been done, everything is stock. Water pump and timing belt along with various seals done 14k miles ago. I found a crack in the top plastic tank of the radiator and am replacing that tomorrow. Is there anything else I should look out for or replace before it fails?

The 94-97s are pretty solid cars. Sounds like yours was pretty well taken care of. I would just drive it as is since the major items have been taken care of.

Only real common problems on these models is the window motors being slow, not too big of a deal.

Ya the window motor on the passenger side of mine seems like its about to go out Rolls up a lot slower from the drivers side and has been getting stuck lately.
