Hello everyone.Recently my Grandfather passed away and I inherited his garage kept 2003 Honda Accord LX.The car has 49k on the odometer and is in overall great condition and for the price I could not pass it up.It has the 2.4 with an automatic and not much else.I joined since I will need to do a few things since it is so basic and hoping to find some help here.Thanks

 

Welcome to HAF.

There are some regular maint items you might want to consider.....not only miles but time is reason for some items.

 

Welcome to the HAF new member..Glad to have you here with us.

 

Replace the coolant, oil change. Consider a brake fluid flush. If the tires are original, no matter how much tread left, replace them. Inspect the belts. Does it have a timing belt? Replace that too. Is the battery original? Replace if it is.

It should give a lot of reliable (cheap) years of service.

 

AN 03 LX, I'm guessing it is a 4 cyl which means no timing belt. It would have a timing chain which means check the oil level on a regular time frame (every two weeks).

 

Welcome to you also

 

Hi all, I can't seem to post my question? When I go to FAQ there is no direction to 'how to post' just how to format my post.
