2000 Accord 2.0i - common weak points

[ghibbett]

Hi all,

Last night I purchased a 2000 (X) Accord 2.0i Executive SE auto for the princely sum of £840. The body work needs a bit of attention (cosmetic - no rust) but mechanically it seems sound. Are there any weak points to these cars (it's my first Honda) that I should be aware of? I know the gearbox is one such point, however it was smooth as silk when I drove the car. What else?

TIA

Thanks D_G

Anyone else have anything to add, otherwise I guess it's a case of 'no news is good news'!!

Thanks all

Picking her up tomorrow evening. Will assess the gearbox over the coming weeks and post back.

Lots of extremely useful good stuff!!

Wow, thank you! Lots of great info there.

The old girl is running sweetly at present. Have attached a small pic below.

The only real problem so far is that the soft-press aspect of the indicator stalk doesnt work for indicating left (works ok for right). Will have to get around to looking at it soon.
