it’s a 2013 2.4 l honda accord coupe ex-l. has 73.5k miles on it and was wondering how long it could last if i took good care of it. it also would technically be a first car as i’ve only had my subaru legacy for a month. i could probably sell the legacy for 10k$ (bought it for 8k and have to put 500$ on tires and new battery) and see if i can buy the honda for 12k$ when it’s asking price is 13.8k$ it is overpriced
They are good cars. As with all used cars, get a mechanic to check it out for roughly $100. If you do end up getting it, be sure to do a transmission fluid change (NOT FLUSH) as soon as you get it. The accords' autos are just a tad on the weak side.
With due time, you'll eventually have to do a valve adjustment as well. Best left to a professional for sure.
It is a good car. As long as it isn't turbocharged it will probably last forever. Why are you getting rid of the Legacy?
there’s just a lot that has to be done.l within first week of having the car, tail light needed to be replaced, battery desperately needs to be replaced, and it’s leaking tires so that’s gonna run me at least 500$ plus it’s the lowest trim and for only a couple thousand more dollars i cojld upgrade to the honda accord w leather seats, 2 touch screens, lasts longer, etc etc
It sounds like it is all maitenance. Plus Legacys can last a long time too.
I thought id just put in my thoughts becasue I have a 2014 civic lx. i bought mine with 114k miles on it and it honestly turned out fine. My suspension blew out randomly though so i put it on coilovers but besides that its running strong. got it for 9k lol
Don't do jerk starts, baby the transmission, do regular oil changes and for the most part those engines can run up to 300k but after 200k most likely you'll need a timing adjustment like mine needed.
tail light needed to be replaced: $3
battery desperately needs to be replaced: $120
leaking tires: patch at tire shop: $20
Total: $150
