Looking to buy a new car, 2002 Accord EX V6

[lando]

Hey my buddy is looking to get a new car and was checking out this Accord.

2DR COUPE,AUTOMATIC,SUNROOF,(49,602 MILES) LEATHER SEATS, ALLOY WHEELS, FULLY LOADED, 6 CYLINDER, CD. PLAYER. GOLD COLOR WITH TAN LEATHER INT $7,800.

Is there any known problems with these or anything I need to be aware of? Thanks.

Granny gold and autotragic? I'll pass.

In all seriousness, the V6 automatics are very frail transmissions, so tack another $3k onto that price.

It's for my little cousin, first car. Ah yeah, I didn't know it was all v6 trannys. My buddy has a CL v6 and his tranny has so many problems...

Yeah, most of the CL/TL/Accord V6 auto transmissions are junk for those years, they can be babied and last a long time with no problems, but the V6 is definitely more prone to failure.

Thanks for the quick reply. Reading some more, and probably going to find something else for him.
