Honda Accord 1999, should I trust it?
I'm looking into getting my very first car. I found a Honda Accord, they're selling t for 1,800$. There's 179k miles on it. They mentioned that the transmission will need work in the future. How bad is that? Is it completely fixable? How much would it cost? Other than that, should I trust this car.
1st of all, that's a lot of miles; 2nd - the seller can say anything they want; 3rd even if you do consider getting that junker, you would need to have a mechanic make a full inspection before purchase
Even though the 1999 is an all round solid and reliable vehicle the fact the seller has mentioned a transmission issue should be a major reg flag. Transmission repair could very easily run the cost you are paying for the vehicle itself.
That's an 1800 dollar car with a GOOD trans. More like 800. As is.
A rebuilt transmission will run 3 grand. Don't do it.
1999 was the second year of the Great Honda Automatic Transmission Debacle. You can call your local Honda dealer service department with the VIN to see if the transmission has been modified (see the first source). If not, the car is worth nothing. If it has… Well, see what the second source has to say.
NOPE.

- Should I buy a 2005 Honda or 1999 Nissan? I'm torn between which used car to buy. The 2005 Honda Civic Si has 250000 km and the 1999 Nissan Sentra has 110000 km. Both have been inspected and passed safety/e-test. Same price. Which is better?
- How to trust a cars mileage when unplugging the speed sensor stops the mileage from ticking? My speedometer just went out and I noticed the mileage stopped tacking. I did some research and found I just need to replace the sensor. Then after a few youtube videos, I realized that anyone could just unplug the sensor and drive 100k miles, plug it back in, and sell it for a good price. Is there a way to check the history of a cars driving without mileage add-on through its computer to avoid buying from a liar? I'm referring to 1998 honda civics.
