I'm looking for a second "run around town" car to compliment my 1998 Accord 5 speed sedan. I was fiddling around on the internet and came upon the local Goodwill in my area selling a 1998 Accord sedan with automatic, only 116k miles, right now bidding is up to $700.
Problem is they say it has a transmission leak and the tranny is slipping. Could this be a possible easy repair, or would it be the same as all others on here saying the tranny would need to be rebuilt or replaced?
Thanks
Here is the response I got from them when emailing them about the car:
MECHANICAL/OTHER NOTES: 4 cylinder engine. The transmission slips and needs repair. There is a leak in the transmission and possibly a leak in the seal at the distributor. This vehicle started at the time of the listing but it is not recommended to drive until the transmission problems are addressed. The steering and the suspension are tight and trouble free. The frame is straight. The heat control speed knob is missing and the air blend door is stuck on the face. The air conditioning and power accessories were working at the time of the listing. No additional information was given. This vehicle is being SOLD AS IS.
