used car of the day 2002 honda accord coupe

I'm a sucker for a good Honda Accord coupe -- even owned a '97 for a while -- and this 2002 Honda Accord Coupe reminds me of how cool these cars could be.

This LX V6 isn't perfect -- it's an automatic, boo -- but the seller claims it has been well maintained.

The mileage is hot at 246K, and the seller claims there are no leaks. The battery is new and the car runs synthetic oil.

If this kind of Honda tickles your fancy, it's based in L.A. and the price is $4,200. Click here for more.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

If you can trade out 2 of those cylinders for 2 more doors, maybe.

  I had a same generation 4 door 4 cylinder. I bought it past the end of its useful life as a winter beater at a down point in my life. Despite its numerous problems from neglect, road salt and previous crashes it always started and got me where I needed to go. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another manual of that era. Haven't heard great things about the autos so would probably pass on those.

A good car, but the price is a touch too high and that interior is disgusting. As others have pointed out, this Accord was produced in the midst of the defective automatic transmission era for Acura and Honda. If the fluid sample you get on the dipstick is dirty, walk away.

AZFelix What could possibly go wrong with putting your life in the robotic hands of precision crafted and expertly programmed machinery?
Orange260z I'm facing the "tire aging out" issue as well - the Conti ECS on my 911 have 2017 date codes but have lots (likely >70%) tread remaining. The tires have spent quite little time in the sun, as the car has become a garage queen and has likely had ~10K kms put on in the last 5 years. I did notice that they were getting harder last year, as the car pushes more in corners and the back end breaks loose under heavy acceleration. I'll have to do a careful inspection for cracks when I get the car out for the summer in the coming weeks.
VoGhost Interesting comments. Back in reality, AV is already here, and the experience to date has been that AV is far safer than most drivers. But I guess your "news" didn't tell you that, for some reason.
