I am thinking of buying 2001 Accord LX with 80,000 miles on it. I was
looking on the web and found that the this particular class of
vehicles had lot of transmission issues. The current owner of the car
told me that the transmission was recently replaced and I checked
with
Honda and they confirmed that. Now transmission has warranty of upto
109,000 miles or 7Years and 9months. That means another 1 and half
years from today or 30,000 miles whichever comes first.
Otherwise the car looks good but this thing has put a doubt in my
mind. Please suggest if I should buy this car or not? Is new
transmission a good thing or it may create new problems for me after a
few thousand miles when I will have no warranty.
Thanks
