[markrutherford]

So I got when I was at a gas station 20mins ago. And this guy starts talking to me about my car and offers a trade I was like huh watcha got and he went on and on. Ill make a list of his car and what i got in mine. What should i do? I want some feedback on what you would do.

Blue interior

don't do it. it probably has some "fatal" flaw that he won't tell you about.

stick to the devil you know.

Ya thats what im thinking. But it does got a new tranny. Hes got paperwork for that. I just want a coupe

Paperwork doesnt tell you how a car runs.

[slammed91cb7]

yea man i would just keep yours. that way atleast you know the problems your car has. as to his it might be a big pos.

[90accords]

Test trade it for a weekend....... I say if you want the coupe and you feel it's a decent enough trade, go for it.

[Rezist89]

noooo something is up with his car

Well it does when it was done at a shop not too long ago with vin and ect.

Ya thats what im thinking...im only worried about the timing belt because he doesnt know how old it is

I want the coupe badly....well i want a coupe someday. But i would love to test trade

noooo something is up with his car

well he had a for sale in his window for 1600 obo so im in the middle at the moment

I know how you feel. i traded for a coupe. i dunno why two extra doors takes "fast" out of my visual description.

[cb7_07]

ask for a test drive at least.

Ya lol When i have a car with 4doors people are always asking for rides becasue they see the extra space but when i got a coupe no one asks and i always tend to not have that many miles put on it

ask for a test drive at least.

Oh i was gonna do a test drive and check the some areas out. You know the saying when you look at a car and the owner lets you test drive "drive it like you stole it" Beat on it for a min and see if it breaks pretty much. Im just woundering is there a way to see if the belt will last for a few weeks

[cb7 dohc]

Keep it

[4GAccordH22]

If it's got 175k and the timing belt was done at the proper interval, it is due again at 180k, so you should have at least another 5k before it needs a new timing belt/water pump/front main seal.

I won't say trade or not as I don't have enough info and I would have to look for myself at both cars. But I will say do what feels right.

[markrutherford]

Just traded and I gotta say its clean!!!!


But im confused


The tranny has 75k miles on it from the paperwork but it revs high in 1st gear to 2nd gear. Is this just in need of a good tranny fluid change

[slammed91cb7]

lets see some pics i got a auto in my wagon and it shifts real smooth
