Tennesseestorm Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I am considering a 98' EX with 130K. One owner, all records - cloth interior and in excellent condition. They want $7000 firm for it. Seems steep according to KBB and NADA, but all of these seem to be selling for higher than KBB/NADA. What do you think? Too steep? What about quality issues on these cars? Any common problems? I was thinking I read somewhere about transmission issues on these cars.... ? Thanks in advance.

Chubs Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Woah that does seem a little steep, 5500 sounds a little better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycarsux Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Is it pretty much stock? Sounds fine. If you wanna get it, then get it. No one's stopping you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennesseestorm Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Thanks for the replies. Yeah, it is 100% stock. It was a 1-owner car (owned by a older lady) until about a month ago. Timing belt was changed at 100K. The lady that has it bought it for her son last month, but he found another Accord that was "sportier"- with leather, spoiler, 2dr, etc and he just had to have it instead., so they bought him that one and are selling this stock 98' EX 4dr to get their money back from buying the 2-dr. I just wonder what type of treatment this car has had since the "son" has owned it. I was thinking that $7000 was steep. According to KBB and NADA it is, but these cars seem to be bringing this price around here. I just do not want to overpay. I found another Accord- a 2000 EX 2dr, black, automatic, etc, but it has leather and I really do not like leather interior- especially black. Priced good though at $6800. It has 135K.

airjordan223 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 yeah that does seem high for a 98 with 130k, what did kbb have for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffro Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 accords suck. Maybe the accord forum isn't the place for you? $7000 is definately high for that vehicle. $6000 would be about the top I would go on that, and that would most likely be from a dealer. As far as the transmission goes, there were problems with 6th gen v6 transmissions. I have very rarely heard about problems with the 4-cyl auto, and I've also heard that the manual tranny's are "bullet-proof." If it's got 130,000 and never had transmission trouble, then I'd assume it's a 4 cylinder. If it's a V6 and they say he transmission has never been worked on, then they are full of it...

mycarsux Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 yeah but if someone got to 130k miles on a 1998 its probably all highway driving, which isn't harsh on the transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mycarsux Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Try and negotiate the price with them. Tell them its wayyy too high and you'll pay 6k at most. Like make them realize they're idiots. If it says OBO they're insane, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
