Used 2002 Honda Accord for sale

I will preface my review with the fact I have not owned the car for more than a day yet, but I wanted to atleast review the customer service portion of my interaction. This dealership is not only incredibly professional, they are also accomidating and easy to work with. I called ahead because I had a long drive. There were two potential cars. One of the staff members walked me through the specs on both. He didn't try to "push" products and was really honest about both cars. I informed him of my needs in a car and he reccomended one of the two. I still felt like the choice was mine, but had all the necessary information to make a good choice. Walking into the dealership, I'll admit I was sceptical. I had been to three other used dealerships in the area that day and the outside looked similar. Inside? Completely different. The waiting area was very clean. They had all relevant information, including all dealer fees, posted obviously in the waiting area. Upon walking around, there were numerous awards from reputable car agencies, like CarFax. The owner walked me out to the car I called about. They were a two hour drive for me, and put the car on hold. Someone even wanted to see the car (that left as I was walking in), but they had promised to hold the car for me. The car was in amazing condition, especially for it's age (2005 Honda Accord). There were some sligh cosmetic "flaws" like residue from a window sticker, easily fixed. Upon entering the car, I noticed something the other dealerships had not done. The car was completely detailed. There were still vaccuum "marks" in the backseat, all the interior controls were clean and looking new. I took the car for a test drive, incredibly excited. The car ran amazing. No feedback, wonderful breaks, incredible acceleration, even compared to more recent car years I had looked at. The dealership walked me through everything, even printed out the 43 service reccords from car fax. When it was time to give the loan, they were incredibly patient and accomidating. The terms of my loan were changed due to the age of the car. Instead of pushing the sale or just saying "sorry, no", they walked me through all my options. I discussed my options with my father (who has been buying cars for over thirty years now) and he weighed in. We were both impressed by how well the options were explained. I was able to manage my finances in a way that enabled me to go home with the car. If nothing else, know this, the dealership is owned by good people that aren't pushing cars. They even give a free 90 day warranty (exact conditions in the dealership). This means they trust their products and want the customer satisfied. Thank you Car Bargains!!

Purchased a used 2002 accord V6 ex coupe from a friend (1st owner) with 138,000 kms. Only service he did since ownership was new tires, battery, oil changes. When I bought the car I replaced all 4 brake pads & rotors. Drove it until 150,000 kms, then replaced timing belt & water pump, front engine mount. Couple months after the rear wheel bearings got noisy was replaced. I also received a letter from Honda to recall the Takata airbags, was replaced no charge at the dealership . At 192,000 kms oil pan started to leak a bit of engine oil, & transmission oil hose to engine leaked. Tranny oil and hose replaced. Next oil change I’ll be getting the oil pan gasket replaced. Owned the car for 3 years ( since 2018). A friend sold the car to me for a good deal. Spent over $3,000 CAN in repairs. Overall still a good vehicle after putting 42,000 kms since my ownership. Air conditioning still blows cold with no recharging required. Digital odometer sometimes goes blank on&off 30% of the time but comes back eventually. Factory 16” alloy wheel paint peeling off. Body paint is intact. Engine and transmission is smooth with lots of power even for today’s standard. Regarding fuel economy I get an Average of 24mpg. I’m aware of “transmission issues” on these models thus making sure to replace tranny oil every 40-50 thousand kms with Genuine Honda fluid is important. My recommendation for people interested in buying one is to make a vehicle checklist before hand that way you won’t miss on anything, Or if not mechanically inclined best to bring the vehicle to a shop for inspection prior to purchase.
