Default New, need advice

Hi, I'm going to buy a used honda accord 2001. This car has remanufactured auto transmission, Is it good to buy? I do research online, people say this accord has problem with auto transmission, some of them paid nearly $4000 to fix or replace but it broke again. Please give me some advices. I offer him $3500, this car also has front axles changed. I think he race and get hit.

The wheels tell me he probably beat on it, and the transmission could fail again...

Some times you want a wome.......i mean car with experience lol.

yes 98-02 is 6th gen.

I love my 5th gens(94-97) there are only two problems with them:
windows go up slow as death/not at all
