Honda Car Forum

I am thinking of buying 2001 Accord LX with 80,000 miles on it. I was
looking on the web and found that the this particular class of
vehicles had lot of transmission issues. The current owner of the car
told me that the transmission was recently replaced and I checked with
Honda and they confirmed that. Now transmission has warranty of upto
109,000 miles or 7Years and 9months. That means another 1 and half
years from today or 30,000 miles whichever comes first.

Otherwise the car looks good but this thing has put a doubt in my
mind. Please suggest if I should buy this car or not. Thanks

Sounds like a winner to me. I would hope the new Tranny doesn't have
issues, but that's a pretty good warranty. Is it transferable to a new
owner?

I sold my 2001 V6 (is yours a V6?), with 150k on it to a relative. Still
going strong at 175k with original tranny.

that..... Thanks
