Should I Buy a 2004 Honda Accord?

I'm a college student and I've had nothing but trouble with my first car and I'm finally at a enough money to start looking for a newer used car, I have my heart set on Honda because of the reliability Honda carries with its name. I found one locally that's privately owned it's a 2004 Honda EXL V6 fully loaded, it has 166,000 miles on it. The owner says that it's been salvaged and I asked him why he told me that the salvaged was on the car when he bought it in 2004 and nothing has ever shown apparently he doesn't know why. My father is going to bring it to our mechanic which he's close friends with to check it out. The owner wants $3200 for it but I don't think I'm going to pay anymore than $2600. Can anyone please give me some tips/thoughts on buying this vehicle? I need something that's going to last me with minor repairs for at least 2-3 years thank you.

Yeah, that salvage part suggests avoiding this car like the repair money pit that it likely is.

Plus, for an eleven year old car, that's high mileage. Oh, and if a seller won't move on their price, your wish to pay less will not mean, well, anything.

Sounds like a 2000-2200 car.

I think Honda accord is a reliable car, you don't get a car with a V6 and has just 166000 miles since 2004 with that money. I recommend inspecting it first before buying it. Other than that its a good choice for a college student.

Any title that isn't clean is a red flag. Honda vehicles are cheap and plentiful. Go elsewhere. Even the most reliable cars start having issues after 150,000 miles.
