Original owner of an 07 V6 EX sedan auto. It’s been a great car all these years with 255,000 miles and still my daily. Still original engine and drivetrain. Awesome not needing a car payment since paying it off in 2010. Still drives great.
@@juliuscaesart depends on the engine and transmission it has. How many owners it has had and if they maintained it. If they have always serviced it on time every time, then yes if it has no trouble codes, no suspension rattles, no blue or white smoke, no dirty tailpipe, engine compression looks good. You might hear a little lifter tick and that wouldn’t scare me. If AC is still ice cold, I’d take a chance on it.

Today I was blessed by a coworker, sold me his 2005 Accord LX 2.4 Manual transmission, 179,000 miles, $1500… runs great, only used 2 gallons driving 60+ miles uphill in southern cali up the grapevine. Needs some tlc, oil change, detail interior, A/C , radio, headliner, BUT I can do all repairs/maintenance etc
The shop said it's small seal inside the tranny. Cheap part atmospheric labor. I wasn't sure if they're telling the truth but it seems oil drips to the ex manifold and it wasn't from valve cover.
I have a 2006 Honda EX 3.0L with nav. I still prefer the nav over Waze or Google Maps. My car still looks great, doesn’t have any rattles, has plenty of power and has 229K miles with no signs of slowing down. This generation of the Accord is solid.
Can always tell the ‘05’s by their rear taillight assembly. They had negative feedback from the ‘03 & ‘04 and changed it to this full red with the little white spot in the lower middle for 1 year. The ‘06 & ‘07 were changed again (and looked much better in my own opinion).
I have an 07 EX-L V6 with nav with 120k miles. The guy I bought it from had all the maintenance records for the cars entire life. Got it for $6k and I love it!
@@MeynMotorGroup exactly I have had the chance to own some decent American muscle cars in my life but I gotta say these older V6 engines are so well tuned at the factory that 200 hp feels so fast in my Honda even when I'm driving 40 mph it feels like your doing 70 mph it's weird but I love that
I have a 06 with 218k still going strong only regular maintenance has been done still drives great only thing is the suspension is starting to make a some noise it being all original but I’ve had it for 3 years paid 6k for it at 180k miles. Only thing I have to say is the cold air intakes sound good but they will throw a check engine light pretty quickly if they aren’t properly tuned good cars though
I'd never thumb my nose at an Accord. I sold a 1992 LX for $700 in 2008 when the Engine mounts needed repair... One of the dumbest things I've done in life.
I have a champagne ’05 Honda accord and I must say she’s a fantastic looking car and can too go fast, thank you very much! I hate the idea of having to get another car one day. I hope I can keep her lasting forever.
Yes the best generation of the accord engine-wise. Bullet-proof from day one. Changes the ignition coils, spark plugs and upper and lower control arms now it rides like a new car. Keeping my 2006 Accord forever.
As a Lexus owner now.. I sometimes miss the handling on my Old 2002 Honda Accord.. coupe I use too have… every drive was fun & so memorable .. ❤️❤️❤️…!!!!
I got a 03 cheap, but I see comments that they are priced to high. I think a well maintained one is easily worth the higher prices Great driver dependable. Affordable on all counts.
Hondas and Toyota products of this period are about bullet proof. Not thrilling cars...but safe reliable transportation that has a low cost of ownership
Thanks for a good video. I have a black 2004 Honda Accord EX 2.4 liter 4 cylinder, which looks near identical to the Accord in your video. 240,000 miles. Almost nothing other than routine maintenance. Runs and drives as near-new. Can't say how much I like my Accord. I owned the first Accord model in 1977, a 2 door hatchback. It was a great car as well.
Love these reviews, my dad bought a 1991 Toyota Cressida (AUS) not sure what you guys called there but I remember asking my dad back then why did you buy that it's boring. After 15 years with out any major fault I realised why he bought it. Great video on these types of cars Kevin really enjoy them. Brenton🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I had a 72 Jevelin/AMX and had 175,000+ miles on it and never had a significant issues. Having sold Accords and Civics, 200k-250k miles is common on a trade. My last CR-V had 250k at trade-in. GREAT CARS!!!
I bought this same model about 4 months ago. The radio wouldn't turn off. It made this static sound when you turn off the engine and it sucked the life out of the battery. My mechanic had to kill the radio. I have a check engine light that doesn't go away. It seems that is nothing serious because I took it to two mechanic friend of mines and they found nothing serious. Light is still on though. Protect your car from the sun too. The paint peels off you will see many cars like this with paint peeled off. Water is getting inside the car. They changed the seal around the windshield and water is still coming inside. Im not too happy with this car. I mean I bought it used. It had 98K miles on it. Not too bad. Hopefully these issues with the check engine light and water coming inside is fixed so I can have a peace of mind.
Excellent review Kevin, and right on. My son works "downtown" and has an 01 Accord with 175k or so as a work car. I drove it recently, seats are worn, paint faded, buy it drives so well that it is startling. Honda and Toyota just have it down, they make the best.
I have a 2011 Accord V6 & it's only 200 miles away from the 100K mile mark :)... Btw I just put an intake and an exhaust on mine (mostly for sound purposes). The V6 is already fast enough stock
Have the coupe ex with a injen intake, that I just hit 150k miles on. I probably won't sell it after I pick up the new Corolla hatchback. Insurance each month is damn cheap on it too. I had to replace the engine+transmission mounts and it now drives so nice. One thing with this model is that it does leak oil, so you wanna keep an eye on that. Door lock actuators may get funky. However, still a loyal car.
I just bought this exact car as this review but nighthawk Pearl blue paint instead. 110,000 miles, paid 6900 without taxes, which included a bunch of maintenance the Honda dealership did on it. Fantastic car I just have to fix the stupid driver's seat rocking motion which is super annoying/ common but at least there's a fix for it. I don't really agree with how he was driving it. That's not how the 4 cylinder version of this car is meant to be driven. You can get really good fuel efficiency from the four-cylinder if you drive it chill and relaxed. The way he was driving he was getting absolute shit gas mileage. It's not a fun car to floor but that's because it's designed for efficiency. The six cylinder version is fun to race around but it eats gas like crazy. I prefer efficiency there's no point in racing around you just get speeding tickets. I prefer to race around on the water (jet ski)
Car review buddy it's called a test isn't that why people watch these things? You can always watch grandma down the street but you won't learn anything from that.
the 4 cylinder ones didn’t have the problems that the 6 cylinder ones had, primarily because of how much load the transmission gets? i’ve always seen V6 Accords of that generation way more abused than 4 cylinder ones. I have an 03 TL Type S 03 that’s on its original transmission and 177k miles, regular transmission oil changes and no abusing will make it last a long time. it will go out eventually, but people can most definitely prolong it
This is my first car. It was my moms and i bought it off her when she got a new car. Tinted the windows and thats all it needed to look dope as fuck. When you take car of it and make it look clean and new, it look super classy and expensive
@@MeynMotorGroup What I meant to say was key start so starter motor run off the battery but if that failed which it did a couple of time or the battery was flat you could pull out the crank handle and fire it up :)
@@MeynMotorGroup It was more putty than metal as they used to rust badly back then and I'll never forget it I was driving down a country dirt road in the middle of the night heading to the Colo river from the Hawksbury river when going around a bend I hit the floor switch which activated the high beams when all the lights went off, I puckered up so tight you couldn't have stuck an American Express card between the cheeks of my arse, and somehow made it around the bend without incident before managing to hit the switch and the low beams coming back on again LOL. had some good times with that car before getting rid of it for a 1977 Chrysler/Mitsubishi Sigma 2000 and what a car that was it was quicker that my mate's Escort Cosworth 2000
Quick yet extensive review for this car. I happen to have one. I purchased it for $ 3600 dollars. I immediately placed $ 700 dollars worth in repairs; drive belt, ac compressor, ATF change and plugs. I had to fix the ripped leather seats upfront for another $ 300. I later drained the ATF for a second time and bought four new tires. I am up at $ 6000. Since I plan to keep it for some time, it was money well spent. Cars are too expensive nowadays, so I feel that I made a good buy. One only complaint about the review: drop the vulgar language. It doesn't add to what is a good review.
Yes the 2004 honda accord ex coupe is noticeable faster and has blue led headlights with a fully leather seats with a much better sound system and has a sunroof for 2004 it’s the shit with the K24A4 engine and a V6 💀
Even though the interior isn't in the best condition I think I'm just one of those ppl who think any interior that isn't black or even gray depending on the interior looks good or fancier 😆, nice video bro
i had a 2012 Accord LX-S with the same engine and transmission as this car youre reviewing and damn, it was slow. Just no excitement at all from it and it was only a 90k mile car, but i got it used. Maybe more used than I thought. I tried a K&N Typhoon whatever intake thing and it made it worse. From an almost 22mpg it dropped down to no more than 15mpg combined and it was instant that the performance dropped. Even idled rough. Oh well, had my fun with it and sold it. 18 second 0-60 leaving a toll booth and thats flooring it, or standing on the gas pedal as you said it :D. Time to go back and watch LS430 videos
Ahhh I test drove a Satin Silver EX-L & a Redondo Red V6 back in 2004 (fresh outta high school) & wooo the V6 just pulled away effortlessly ! Seriously, these are premium autos ! Why ? Because it has 170k miles and can go another 200k without taking out a second mortgage unlike some brands..*COUGH* BMW !!

Can someone help me. Guy is selling a 05 ex-l accord with 160,000 miles for 3400 hundred. From the pics it has a split in the front bumper and like a small hole in the driver side back end not sure what that is, I will ask. But if it turns out to be nothing major is this a good deal?
I have a '05 Accord sedan LX 150,000 miles, did regular oil changes and fluid flushes, replaced serpentine belt once. Works great. Is there anything else (major) that needs to be done ie replacing the timing belt at this point (or in the future)?
Check you radiator cold 1x per week Keep up with your oil changes every 3k miles. 100k = injectors. Keep up on plugs cabin filter in glove box. Engine air filter too.
i still have one of this a 2005 ,let me tell you i dont sell it for nothing ,the best car i ever know ,18 years one single problem a 48 dollar radiator sensor rarararararararara ,all the rest is original even the starter
my dad had a 2006 accord with the manual v6 and i wanted that car so bad. unfortunately it got totaled by an uninsured motorist while i was learning to drive it
In foreign countries like Middle East and Africa, they drives these same model accords to death through dusty ass roads and commonly 25-30 years with 500k all over the place!
I had an 03 same Gen. which is suppose to be one of the worst models.. I had no issues luckily. I might grab another one. Ok Kevin 03-06 Accord or 02-06 Camry?
I bought an 2005 honda accord for $60000 from a honda dealership in middleburg hts ohio and have had to replace the water pump, alternator, and the wheel bearings and it hasn't been a year since I have had the car garbage I will go back to my Toyota Corolla

A pragmatic first car, I remember mine it was a 1964 Datsun Bluebird with crank start as well as electric :)
Damn I need to research that, sounds crazy lol it was electric?
@@MeynMotorGroup What I meant to say was key start so starter motor run off the battery but if that failed which it did a couple of time or the battery was flat you could pull out the crank handle and fire it up :)
Oh I see I'm a nut thought you were driving a 64 Hybrid 😅😂 like I'm sure we would all know about that Datsun lol
@@MeynMotorGroup It was more putty than metal as they used to rust badly back then and I'll never forget it I was driving down a country dirt road in the middle of the night heading to the Colo river from the Hawksbury river when going around a bend I hit the floor switch which activated the high beams when all the lights went off, I puckered up so tight you couldn't have stuck an American Express card between the cheeks of my arse, and somehow made it around the bend without incident before managing to hit the switch and the low beams coming back on again LOL. had some good times with that car before getting rid of it for a 1977 Chrysler/Mitsubishi Sigma 2000 and what a car that was it was quicker that my mate's Escort Cosworth 2000
I have one similar and it drives very fast it’s a 2005 too
Quick yet extensive review for this car. I happen to have one. I purchased it for $ 3600 dollars. I immediately placed $ 700 dollars worth in repairs; drive belt, ac compressor, ATF change and plugs. I had to fix the ripped leather seats upfront for another $ 300. I later drained the ATF for a second time and bought four new tires. I am up at $ 6000. Since I plan to keep it for some time, it was money well spent. Cars are too expensive nowadays, so I feel that I made a good buy. One only complaint about the review: drop the vulgar language. It doesn't add to what is a good review.
Oh please. What vulgar language??? And did you replace the AC compressor by itself or the whole comple AC system?
Do you it’s wise buying this car now for 4000 Australian dollars and has 177k km on clock

Great review. Can you recommend a good sounding intake for an 05 manual ?.
Yes the 2004 honda accord ex coupe is noticeable faster and has blue led headlights with a fully leather seats with a much better sound system and has a sunroof for 2004 it’s the shit with the K24A4 engine and a V6 💀
Even though the interior isn't in the best condition I think I'm just one of those ppl who think any interior that isn't black or even gray depending on the interior looks good or fancier 😆, nice video bro
Yea I love a beige interior too haha
Great review Kevin, do more older Japanese cars.
Thanks!
i had a 2012 Accord LX-S with the same engine and transmission as this car youre reviewing and damn, it was slow. Just no excitement at all from it and it was only a 90k mile car, but i got it used. Maybe more used than I thought. I tried a K&N Typhoon whatever intake thing and it made it worse. From an almost 22mpg it dropped down to no more than 15mpg combined and it was instant that the performance dropped. Even idled rough. Oh well, had my fun with it and sold it. 18 second 0-60 leaving a toll booth and thats flooring it, or standing on the gas pedal as you said it :D. Time to go back and watch LS430 videos
Ahhh I test drove a Satin Silver EX-L & a Redondo Red V6 back in 2004 (fresh outta high school) & wooo the V6 just pulled away effortlessly ! Seriously, these are premium autos ! Why ? Because it has 170k miles and can go another 200k without taking out a second mortgage unlike some brands..*COUGH* BMW !!
Spend $1200 & reupholster the seats, spend a Saturday doing some paint correction and you’re good to go 👍🏽
V6 would def be amazing in this. Need to get Dave back on the channel to talk about some bimmers
I had a 2005 LX they are good cars.
For sure!
god fkin damn it, this car still looks so car for 2021, fresh as hell, the accord is too clean, but im a v6 guy
Wish this test car had a V6
Dude I know right.. even the interior despite the radio still looks modern-ish to me.
Fantastic job again Kevin 💯👍🏿
Thanks!
My best friend at JCSU has this exact car. It is a classic.
How come you didn't mention the fact that the 05 Accord has frequent total transmission failure? Am I mistaken about this or do you not know?
good and honest video, thanks Kevin.
Glad you appreciated it my friend!
I love those wheels on the 05 accord better than 06 accord but the body style is better on 06!
Dope little review on this thing.
Thank you my friend!
Can someone help me. Guy is selling a 05 ex-l accord with 160,000 miles for 3400 hundred. From the pics it has a split in the front bumper and like a small hole in the driver side back end not sure what that is, I will ask. But if it turns out to be nothing major is this a good deal?
Do you like/prefer the 9th gen over this 7th gen Accord?
Honďa accord and es 300 2002 which 1 is good drive comfort car ? Kelvin
My 2005 ex just hit 300,000 miles and it runs like a champ
Dam my 04 is currently at 165,000 nothing wrong with it but I was thinking maybe I should sell it or not 🤔
Thank you for the review
Don't diss the looks, it's not bad at all!!!! It looks like my 2007 Corolla but almost certainly drives better..
My mom has a 2003 EX V6 that my nephew bought used and I love driving it until I want it so bad
I have a '05 Accord sedan LX 150,000 miles, did regular oil changes and fluid flushes, replaced serpentine belt once. Works great. Is there anything else (major) that needs to be done ie replacing the timing belt at this point (or in the future)?
Check you radiator cold 1x per week
Keep up with your oil changes every 3k miles. 100k = injectors. Keep up on plugs cabin filter in glove box. Engine air filter too.
Why your temperature is too high? 3.0 V6 own here.
i still have one of this a 2005 ,let me tell you i dont sell it for nothing ,the best car i ever know ,18 years one single problem a 48 dollar radiator sensor rarararararararara ,all the rest is original even the starter
Found one for 3.5k with 57k original miles and super mint condition 😭 if I had the money I’d buy it, it’s a personal seller so I can’t do payments lol
Great video
Can hear you a honda fan
does it have an aux entrance?
I got a 2005 Accord 4 cly with 177k miles
This cars super reliable
Bro do a 2010 model LX 4 cyl review if u find one. Maybe even compare that with this 05 to what which one you like better
I did a 2014 base model accord if you're interested
@@MeynMotorGroup I saw that one already.
my dad had a 2006 accord with the manual v6 and i wanted that car so bad. unfortunately it got totaled by an uninsured motorist while i was learning to drive it
Oh man sorry to hear that
You should review an avalon, dont think you reviewed a single one. 11-12 is a good year for them.
Yea still can't find one for whatever reason
Can always send ECU to reflash and you will get 200hp
In foreign countries like Middle East and Africa, they drives these same model accords to death through dusty ass roads and commonly 25-30 years with 500k all over the place!
That is great to hear! At 90k miles, mine should outive me.
@@lincmerc1581 keep up with the atf fluid drain and refills
I had an 03 same Gen. which is suppose to be one of the worst models.. I had no issues luckily. I might grab another one. Ok Kevin 03-06 Accord or 02-06 Camry?
I would probably go Accord
Thanks Kevin! Enjoyed the review!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
I bought an 2005 honda accord for $60000 from a honda dealership in middleburg hts ohio and have had to replace the water pump, alternator, and the wheel bearings and it hasn't been a year since I have had the car garbage I will go back to my Toyota Corolla
You didn’t buy it for that price
I have the stick shift coupe its awesome
I have an 05 LX with 168,000 miles,im pretty sure the racket pinion is giving me problems,only the drivers side window works gotta get a main window switch for the other windows to work,really good car though...
sorry to hear about those issues but yes I do think it is a good car regardless
Check you inner and outer tie rods
@@clinteastwood666 Much appreciated...
@@mercedesbenzs600bash i got 203,000 ex
Kev steal me the wood trim from that car that would look great in mine🤣😂🤣
Lol it is an interesting trim choice for sure
