New Coupe

[Njzninja]

So i picked up this 2002 lx coupe w/ 81,000 miles, for 2k.

Here's some pics...

What do you guys think? Im worried about the transmission going?

Welcome to the site.

I don't really recall hearing that the I4's had major tranny issues, so you should be ok.

Great deal on the car though.

Hey JordanFleenor.....he paid $2000, so yeah, $4900 is a good sale.

Damn for 2k thats really clean. I say 5speed swap

You got a good deal for that mileage. Even if you have to replace the transmission you would have spent what most people pay just to buy this car. Maybe a few hundred more at most.

Keep up with draining/refilling the tranny fluid on a regular basis and don’t drive like an idiot, and you may be okay. I4 autos also fail, but not as often as the V6 autos it seems.

Does the car drive alright?

yeah it drives great! Im just waiting to change the belts and fluids this weekend. i also have a 2001 EX-L coupe so i have that as a spare just in case something happens with this one.

hahaha...balling out of control with the "Duece Coupes"!

Nice.

Nice, wish I had a parts car. lol

Don’t forget to check the brake pads/rotors, tire pressure/tread, etc as well. Other than that, looks like that rear bumper needs some TLC. Overall looks to be in good shape.

yeah i def did. brakes are new, tires not so much. im thinking about doing a 5lug conversion.

As Chris suggested, you could look in to doing a 5spd swap as well, which can be done for a pretty reasonable price.

The 5 lug conversion, I think there may still be some parts available in the Classifieds.
