I have a 2002 SE 4 cyl that I bought in September 2004. It had 15k miles on it when I bought it from the local Honda dealer and now have 126k on it almost 17 years later. I have had to replace a couple of things like the radiator and O2 sensor but it has been a very reliable car for me. I just had the original struts replaced with KYB quick struts and had the car aligned and put 2 new tires on it and it runs very well especially for its age.
I've had a bit of an affair with the Accord coupes. I bought a 2002 2.3L 5-speed manual coupe in 2007. It was without fail one of the funnest cars I have ever driven. I have had occasion to wish I hadn't sold it. It used a quart of oil between oil changes when I bought it with 60K miles on it. By the time I sold it with 215k miles I was looking at a ring job cause it was using a quart between tanks of gas. The top end had already been rebuilt by then. Back in the day my best bud ordered a new 2001 Accord coupe V6 EX-L. A couple of years ago I bought it from his widow with 80K miles on the clock. She was moving up to a new Subaru and it looked easier to buy the 01 rather than do a ring job on my 02. The 01 needed an alternator and I replaced the EGR valve, the thermostat, the rubber bushings in the front end and the 12YO tires. And the cabin air filters. It came with a complete set of dealer service receipts for all scheduled service (including regular transmission flushes). It doesn't use any oil between oil changes. It's in better shape than yours and my transmission has a dipstick. Somebody stole your dipstick. :-) Mine was always garaged in the desert so the paint is excellent and there's no rust. It has the upgrade factory wheels and the 6-disk changer. It's faster than my 02 was and heaver, but it's just not as much fun to drive. :-( If you believe TH-cam, that automatic transmission is the weak link in this car. Hot-rod it or dump it into gear with the revs up or turbo the motor and you burn up the first-third clutch. Let it sit for too long without driving and the regulator valve for the torque converter gets sticky and you burn up the torque converter. Regular fluid changes are rumored to help. At one point there were after-market upgrade kits available for these transmissions that were supposed to fix some of these issues.
I've got an 01 4cyl accord with 494k unfortunately the salt here during the winter has the body a little rough near the rear wheel arches. It still drives strong dont think I'll ever get rid of it.
True... My 2002 Accord was slipping, changed transmission fluid now much better.... Going to change 1 more time and add lubegard transmission additive, then I'm sure it will shift like new.
I love my 2001 Honda Accord EX coupe it’s all custom out with 200,000 miles with no engine issues at all fully rebuilt transmission. Going to do an engine swap at some point looking to put in a 3.2 L Acura TL engine With 40,000 to 70,000 miles for pretty cheap
I just bought my 2001 Honda Accord Ex last week and already have to replace the crankshaft position sensor , dizzy, water pump , timing belt and cam balancer belt and the exhaust from the cat back lol of course yours is in better condition , good luck with your build and be weary of the transmission in the 3.0 VTEC they have a tendency to go out.
8:00 holy hell TH-cam compression - they are trying to squeez every byte out of a uploaded video lol - with that said, this has to be one of Honda's finest piece of engineering marvels. What a great car. Keep em alive everybody!
Yeah I've noticed it, they're all recorded at 4k 30 fps but youtube compresses the shit out of it on some videos worse than others. Thanks for watching!
Junk yard owners apparently think inflation applies to them as well, so they’ve jacked up prices on even the cheapest of plastic parts. LKQ tried to charge me $60 for a plastic engine cover (beauty cover or whatever the hell they’re called).
Yes this has happened to me too recently. I used to pay $22 for a rear trunk reflector panel and now they want $60 because "oh its based on length now" and its technically a light even tho ITS NOT its a reflector, no bulbs. Absolute bs
436kmi accord ive had for 6years. I have soent maybe 3k over 6years 1.5 for ac and 1.5 for new engine and clutch. Its a great car runs like a champ i drive 3 to 4kmi a month in it. Thank you Jesus.
Honda Accord quality! 👍 Or a Toyota Camry of same vintage👍QUALITY not quantity!!!!! Bonnet needs repaint, rattle can with the correct paint code and CLEAN and Polish up the headlights FULL SERVICE!!!! 👍👍 trans fluid did not look too bad, cat thinks mmmm tasty 🤣
Was just the style then, every decade interiors look similar on cars as designs change. Go look at any 80s car everything is squared blocky, then everything got smooth corners more rounded.
Just wait bro, those window regulators will be needing a replacement, and the auto tranny is a ticking time bomb, but that being said I don’t give a fuck what anyone says the 6th gen v6 Accord is one of the best cars ever made. Very underrated.
It is not recommended to change the transmission fluid in old cars. It can cause slippage and you may need to rebuild it due to the new fluid. The old fluid contains more friction that actually holds the auto transmission together Better to keep the old fluid in case you need to change it back. But I see you got a great car there
it has nearly 260k miles on it so 900bucks is OK. bought my EX for $2300 last year and the thing had just 67100 miles on it. guess I'll be able to drive it another 20 years xD
The TCS light is off at the end of the video 20:32 TCS is traction control, you can turn it off with a button next to the steering wheel (it doesn't rain here so I don't need traction control)
Also, if you don't have record of the timing belt and water pump being done, especially with over 200k miles, have it done ASAP. Buy the oem Honda or gates or Denso/aisin kits. It's not a terribly hard job, you just need to make sure all of your timing marks stay where they are supposed to be. EX-L means it has leather. On newer Hondas, like the 08-12 accords, it means leather, xm radio, heated seats, memory seats, outside temperature gauge, auto climate, etc. I'm a big Honda guy. Honda and Toyota are top when it comes to quality and reliability. If you don't have records of the auto trans fluid being replaced before, then don't do it unless the car has less than 100k miles. That's for anyone who reads this that needs some car knowledge. It can and will ruin transmissions. On those accords the transmission is absolutely garbage. You are supposed to do what's called a 3+3. Drain and fill 3 times, with driving in between. You're supposed to leave the drain plug out until fluid comes out of it and then it's full. Just an FYI for you
I just got 248k miles for $700. It's the EX v6 not the EX-L but i love. Leather is in good condition. I don't have the factory radio or any center caps like you but it's all good
My Older Brother Had A Car Like This In The Same Color To His Had A Spoller Though But He Sold It And Now He Has A Chevy Malibu Not The Classic One Though Classic One Is Better
Honda and toyota 2 best cars made bar none. Run forever pretty easy to do minor repairs affordable. Benz beemer 5 times more expensive and do not kast as long or have the quality of honda and toyota. I have camry, only other sedan i will own accord. Will never see german crap in my garage, over price domestic basically.
I'm 15 and your teaching me a lot about the Accord, thanks
DONT EVER DRAIN A HIGH MILEAGE AUTO TRANSMISSION FLUID. Lol
Dude im also 15 I have a manual not an auto but I have a Accord from 1991 with like 200000 thousand miles

Just bought an 02' and aside from needing a new trans "My name is John Kimble, and I love my car"
Damn seeing that first accord in the junkyard gave me chills...RIP
Dang Jimmy, you got me dude. I end up buying a 2001 honda accord sedan 2.3L to be my little project. You are awesome man.
I've got an 01 4cyl accord with 494k unfortunately the salt here during the winter has the body a little rough near the rear wheel arches. It still drives strong dont think I'll ever get rid of it.

I appreciate this video so much just letting you know if nobody else did
In today's market and economy (2022), this car will be happily sold for it's original MSRP price back in 2001 at around $17K.

Getting one of these next week very happy ;)
just bought a 99 with 283k miles and replaced the battery and spark plugs and it runs great w no issues
**tears off Beto sticker** lmao
436kmi accord ive had for 6years. I have soent maybe 3k over 6years 1.5 for ac and 1.5 for new engine and clutch. Its a great car runs like a champ i drive 3 to 4kmi a month in it. Thank you Jesus.
Good luck from morocco merry Christmas everybody ❤

I have 2000 accord LX with 286k and runs and drivers perfectly I love HONDA
How many transmissions
All original it’s standard
Has the shape of a Camry inside. Did the newer 03-06 Camrys copy the dash style of these accords?
Was just the style then, every decade interiors look similar on cars as designs change. Go look at any 80s car everything is squared blocky, then everything got smooth corners more rounded.
awesome stuff, very entertaining 👏
I have a honda accord 2001 EX V6 2 Door 222k miles and running clean.
You still have the car
I have a 2000 accord, but an LX cause I’m POOR and can’t afford the EX
Even the LX is a decently equipped car. I have the 2002 SE Sedan which adds some goodies such as a moon roof, alloy wheels, and upgraded audio system.
This is a great car! Don't mess it up!
Just wait bro, those window regulators will be needing a replacement, and the auto tranny is a ticking time bomb, but that being said I don’t give a fuck what anyone says the 6th gen v6 Accord is one of the best cars ever made. Very underrated.
Showin love from EP 🤘
Gorgeous car
you know that car is from El Paso,Tx from the Beto, and GECU bank pamplhet

Have your ball joint ever failed?

guess I'll be able to drive it another 20 years xD
My ‘99 Accord EX has 372,000 miles on it. Runs like a charm. About to give it its first paint job after the original factory paint job.
If u take care of the suspension brakes and steering.
How many transmissions
The TCS light on the dash did you look at that one ?
The TCS light is off at the end of the video 20:32 TCS is traction control, you can turn it off with a button next to the steering wheel (it doesn't rain here so I don't need traction control)
Does it have aux input?
No unfortunately, in 2001 aux imports were only for the coolest of the cool. I've noticed those started to become standard around 2007 or so
HEY BUD I LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE
U selling it

Had to screenshot this 💯
I have that exact car but mine is from 2002 with only 64k miles
It will probably live forever because these things are tanks!
@@jimmyjimjims7483 it sure will. It’s been well taken care of. It is sad though how some people think it’s ok to beat them up.
I just got 248k miles for $700. It's the EX v6 not the EX-L but i love. Leather is in good condition. I don't have the factory radio or any center caps like you but it's all good
What's the difference in EX v6 and EX-L v6
My Older Brother Had A Car Like This In The Same Color To His Had A Spoller Though But He Sold It And Now He Has A Chevy Malibu Not The Classic One Though Classic One Is Better
@@VioFax Which Malibu? 2003 Chevy Malibu Classic Or The One That Kinda Looks Like A Caprice
