I’m currently in a tough financial situation and looking for an affordable car. I’ve come across a 2003 Honda Accord, and while it seems like a decent option within my budget, I’ve heard about potential transmission problems and other issues. Would this car be a reliable choice, or could the repair costs end up being more than I can handle? I’d appreciate any advice or experiences from current or past owners.
I think it’s difficult to make that call without knowing the cars history. 21 years old is still 21 years old–the transmission could be on its way out by this point. Hard to say though! Sometimes the old stuff keeps working while the newer stuff falls apart in half the time. How much are they looking to get for it? Any service history?
