We're looking at a 99 5speed with 206,000 miles. Needs new HVAC control panel but recently had timing belt and battery replaced. Also had power steering lines replaced which is what we struggled with on our 07 Odyssey with 300k miles. Trying to decide if the 99 is worth buying for our new teen drivers.
I have a 98 Accord - looks just like this but it's the automatic trans. Has 293k on it. I hardly drive it anymore, but it comes in handy when I need it.
You didn't notice that's not the factory motor that's a jdm motor that would be a huge plus jdm used motors have less then 35k on them that's what I came to find out about mine I have a 98 and a 99
@@jacobfleming565 dude this 3 years ago and the 6th gen accord the 4cyl came in f23a1 to like f23a4 they had sliver valve covers the jdm f23 came with the black valve cover i would know i had 2 and yes this was accords worst design unless it was manual just switch the head and u got a sold build
Hey, I am from Europe and I am going to test a honda accord 1.6i ls from 1999 upcomming saturday. If I end up buying the car, it will be my first car. I have a license for over 3 years, but I have mainly been using family and friends' cars. I am not a v-tech enthusiast. I like to keep the cars stock and functional. Any tips that I can use to maybe look for to knock the price down. It's not a necessity, but it could save me some money. It's only done around 57900 miles and it costs 2250 euro's ( ~2750 USD ). I know from a friend that I need to make sure the brakes don't lock up and that there is no rust on critical spots ( especially in Europe's wet climate, this is an issue ). Maybe you can give me another tip to look out for! Great video by the way!
Oh really cool. What country are you from? I would say to find anything that may be wrong with the car that would require money invested in it to fix it. You use this as leverage to negotiate the price down. The car has a smaller motor since it is a european spec car, but I would say to look for any leaks around the motor. Also look under the car to see if there is any oil leaking underneath or if it looks wet under the car by the engine and transmission. This could mean there are bad engine or transmission leaks that could be expensive to fix. I would also start the car and turn it off at least 4 times. This will ensure the starter isnt going out or if there are other issues with the car starting. I would also check how much thread is left on the tires and make sure the the brakes and rotors are good. There are a lot of things to check and you use everything you look at to negotiate the price down. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
the daily driver I am from the Netherlands. I went to look today. Thanks for the tips. The car worked perfectly. Only needs new tires, which i managed to knock off the price. :-) So. I ended up buying it! cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/369925585381883908/427081994502144010/20180324_110043.jpg
No fender bender buddy. Polyurethane front & back bumper age is different in the sunlight. Compared to the rest of the car. Very common for all older vehicles. Camrys especially. And to prove your point check the Vin numbers on the panels. If they’re not there, it’s replaced.
I understand completely about the difference in how the paint ages on the plastic vs the metal. the car was in a fender bender and I know that for certain because my friend crashed the car multiple times and had to replace the bumper multiple times. so dont tell me it wasn't in a fender bender buddy!
I'm looking at a 1999 4 cylinder manual and a 2002 v6 automatic which is better they each have around 225 thousand miles for 1300 I need it to get to work everyday what should I look for when I test drive them?
I would go with the 1999 manual 4 cylinder all day long. I have over 230k miles on this car and I just put new tires on it. it leaks a little oil but hasn't had any real mechanical issues in 8 years. plus gas mileage is great and cost of ownership is low. as far as what to look for on the car when you test drive it you definitely want to make sure that the transmission shifts into every gear without any grinds or slipping out of gear. that could mean you need a trans rebuild if that's the case. check for leaks around the engine and transmission. common leaks are the vtec solenoid seals go bad and start to leak and the valve cover seal goes bad fairly easy and cheap fixes. also pull the oil cap off the top of the engine valve cover to look for sludge buildup (brown to dark black if really sludged). also look on the cap for a white substance, which if there is it could mean the head gasket is bad (expensive fix). these are the basics and there is much much more to inspect. if I were you I would have someone go with you to look at the car to see what the car may need in terms of work and if it's even worth buying. hope this helps. thanks for asking👌👌😁
@@Scatpack23 no problem there is just sooo much to look for I could spend all day sending a message. it's best to have someone with you that knows mechanics to inspect these things.

sounds like you bought the garbage automatic. if you did your research you would have found the 198-2002 honda accord has a horrible automatic transmission. should have bought the stick shift
I bought a 1999 accord, 4 cyl automatic for $1100. 265k but drives like new. All power windows work and even the sunroof works. Excellent gas mileage.

That is awesome. Glad to hear you got it and it is in great running condition. Enjoy your new ride. It will last you a long time
Any airbags in this car?
That accord has the longest shifter compared to all the other accords! The boot is the longest out of all accord !

@@STAKBUNDLES surprised it doesnt have rust then. great cars and easy to maintain
@@DaylyDriverDayly do you have knowledge on cars?
hey i found a 99 and it needs a harmonic balancer, how long can i drive with a bad harmonic balancer?
The bottom line is to get it replaced as soon as you can so that it does not start affecting other parts of the vehicle.
sounds like you bought cheap parts or there is other underlying issues causing your mounts to wear out quicker than normal
What is the colour code
I have the automatic, I wished I had the manual
they are getting harder to find especially in decent condition. look and you will find
The automatic transmissions suck mine is always slipping

Thank u-what are your thoughts on 94 Accord vs 2000 accord . Which is better with manual transmission?!
2000 Honda accord manual hands down. With the 94 being older it will most likely have more mechanical issues. Plus the 2000 is a newer car
ok thank u

What about the auto trans?

For how much

It’s not a small car, unless you compare it to a Lincoln 1963.
I like sedans then SUVs! They drive better and you don’t have cargo area in the cabin.
