Hello everyone.
I might be purchasing a used 2004 accord EX Auto V6.
Here is the link :
2004 Used Honda Accord Cpe EX Auto V6 w/Leather/XM at Audi Chantilly Serving Washington, D.C., Fairfax, VA, IID 8262088

I would like to know if there are specific itmes i need to check prior to considering this model. I am coming from a 325i BMW and there are a few items on the bimmers that are prone to failures.
Anyone knows about defects, flaws, recalls, weak spots etc on this model ?
I appreciate your help.

 

I can't speak for any common problems as I don't know much about that year. But I would definitely find out if the timing belt has been replaced. If it hasn't its over due and would be a good negotiating point.

 

Thanks, Is this a doable DIY? I have had my fair share of DIYing on the 325i so if it is something that would not require me to take the engine off - can i do it myself?
What about any transmission, electrical, frame issues that could possibly show up later?

 

If you have done a timing belt before(on any car really) its basically the same procedure. It can definitely be done yourself, but just keep in mind if it is done wrong it can cause major problems.
