1998 Honda Accord EX 2.3 4 cylinder

Summary:

Excellent car

Faults:

ABS light sometimes randomly goes on and off.

Sometimes the CD player picks and chooses what CDs it wishes to read.

The trunk release button on the keyless remote stopped working.

General Comments:

I LOVE this car regardless of the above mentioned (none of which are too major of an issue in my book).

Got this car in December of 2006 and still have it today... since that time I have put 71,000 miles on it without a hitch!!! NO issues... oil change every 3k, I've changed out the air filter, plugs, wires, just all the usual stuff. I plan on keeping this baby for a LONG time!

1998 Honda Accord EX V6 Sedan 3.0 VTEC

Summary:

Best looking, most reliable car made

Faults:

Replaced alternator twice, may be due to my stereo.

General Comments:

My parents bought this car as a demo car, so it had about 10,000kms no it. I got it at about 170,000km 2 and a half years ago and it has been awesome so far. I lowered it 1.5 inches, CAI, Magnaflow cat-back, rims, systems and a few other things and it is still rolling strong. The transmission is original and good considering we know about the horrible falure rates known for the V6's. The 6th gen is the best gen of the Accord ever made. The paint looks brand new and no one ever believes me that it is 10 years old. This car is quick and sounds mean with the intake. I would recommend this car to anyone, but beware of the known transmission problems.

1998 Honda Accord LX 2.3 liter vtech

Summary:

Mint condition 98 beats 08 model's value

Faults:

There is nothing seriously wrong with this car: just bought if off a dealer trade from an older couple. Never has had anything done in its life, but maintenance like oil changes. Tires may have been changed before.

Little stuff likes to squeak like the shifter and the little door under the cassette deck.

Obviously it has not been used much, so it squeaks a bit.

Little amount of oil showing up around valve cover gasket. Time for seal replacement.

Timing belt has never been changed/ car has a little vibration when at stop lights... never had any tune ups before?

Trunk may not be 110% aligned. Looks like it had been hit at one time. But paint is flawless. It is like a nanometer or two off. Not like my two other 99 Accords.

General Comments:

This car is in near mint condition, and I love the way it drives and it will be a good addition to the family with the other 5 Accords we have. Not a bit of rust anywhere and the paint looks show room. I saw only one dent on the whole car... bumpers do not have typical marks from older people rubbing against stuff.

Comfortable interior.

Engine is church mouse quiet.

Was going into dealer to buy a brand new Accord and saw this one, and thought it was the best deal.

I will update about anything that happens from now on. I have a past review on my 1994 Accord with 250+ thousand miles and I see this one may be like that car.

This is an early generation 6 Accord built in Marysville, October 1997.

What? You think paying 7 grand for a 98 instead of a 2008 going for over 20 grand is not a bargain? In a society where we will never have as much money as our parents did, and where the quality of life is going down the tubes, I am happy with my purchase.

Obviously you believe in spending money and racking up credit card debt and spending all your money instead of saving. I do have funds to buy very expensive cars with cash, but why should I do that when I can save my money and buy a mint condition 98 Accord? I still fail to see why you are attacking me sir?
