Hi everyone, I need some advice on what to look out or what will be the better choice. I am looking into buying either a 2003 Honda Accord CP, 2.4L, Auto with 177,000KMS and has a clean carfax( https://www.wellandtoyota.ca/used/vehicle/2003-honda-accord-lx-g-id10778508.htm) or at the same dealership, a 2003 Toyota Camry 2.4L Auto with 263,000KMS( https://www.wellandtoyota.ca/used/vehicle/2003-toyota-camry-le-id10864099.htm). Both seems to have been taken care of relatively well. I have watched Scotty's videos about both cars and I'm still undecided whether the Honda will be the better car, while knowing the Toyota might outlast me without a hiccup. I will look for oil burning for both and transmission issues in the Honda. I do know first year cars of new generations tend to have some issues which are later fixed but since they were both maintained pretty well, the Accord specially, it is a very difficult choice.
I personally wouldn't buy any one those. My grandmother still has her 02 Camry but she has the engine known for oil sludge.

First, never buy anything from a dealer. Second, do your research on CarComplaints and other sites for first hand (though anecdotal) information.
