I bought a 2000 Honda accord coupe vtec with problems?
I bought the car for 600 but with problems. It has 230,000 miles but the f23 vtec engine still sounds and runs good. It needs a new tranny which is a common problem with this car. I heard a h23 prelude tranny fits in it.It also needs a lot of body work. At least 800s worth. At the end of everything i would have most likely invested about 2,600. But I'm not sure if I should do all that. I wanted to buy a prelude shell and put the engine in it but that would be another 1,000 at least. What would be the best thing to do? I will take any suggestions. Should I be worried about the milage and just junk the car I can make my money back. I just don't want to put more than 3,000 into this project if it won't be worth it. I'm open to any suggestions, thanks!
Drive it, replace parts with parts from lower mileage wrecks.
then sell it to a dumb kid. Tell him its all rebuilt. Oh, first you put lights underneath and a big ol wing thing on the back.
Double your money!
Dude. Yes, you should be worried about the mileage. At 230,000 miles it's not enough to judge the engine by sound, you need a compression test on the cylinders, even an oil sample sent to Blackstone Labs would be a good idea.
I think your best bet is to part the car out and get as much cash out of it as you can.
- What type of transmission fits in a automatic 2000 honda accord coupe vtec v6 f23 motor? I heard either an h22 or h23 prelude transmission fits in this car but can anyone be more specific? And how much do these transmissions go for? Does The transmission have to be an automatic transmission? Are these trannys any good? What do I search for when looking for it?
- What should be my first car. Honda civic coupe or honda accord coupe? I'm going car shopping this week and I really like coupe styles. But I want a good coupe car. Any suggestions?
- I got s 2011 Honda Accord EX-L v6 I-vtec 3.5L coupe I want yalls Ok so other than posted above the car is in excellent condition not a thing wrong with it.

Also if your willing can you also give me an explanation of what it is that I'm doing to make the car better.
- Should I get a 2008-2009 Honda Accord Coupe or Infinity G37 Coupe? I'm finally able to get a car that I want since my first car was just handed to me (what's to complain, I like my little Toyota Corolla) but I can finally afford a car and I'm willing to settle on a 2008 or 2009 and since I'm almost 20 I believe insurance will be higher for me since it is a coupe. Which car in your opinion is best?
