    I just bought a 2016 EX-L coupe v6 auto 1 owner clean carfax with all maintenance records(receipts from the dealership it was serviced at) since it was bought new. They had just had the timing belt and tensioner, water pump and alternator belt replaced. Happy and feel lucky I was able to find what I've been waiting for in a good price range at $13k. I've been driving a 2005 Chevy Tahoe for 13 years, it was wild test driving this car. The amount of tech in it is crazy compared to what I'm used to. Feels like going from a Gameboy to a smartphone.

      That’s a steal for that car! Congratulations on your purchase, I hope you continue to enjoy it.

    Went and test drove a V6 accord of the exact same year today. Loved it! However; it has 122k miles, I checked the car fax and there’s little no service records. It was a one owner car owned locally. I have no idea if the timing belt job has already been done. With that kinda mileage I would assume so. But do you know how to know or pinpoint whether it’s been done at any point?

      I honestly don’t. When I did the timing belt on my 98 Accord, the shop put a sticker on the engine cover with the date and mileage it was done at; this time around, they did not do so. If it’s not in the CarFax, I’d assume that it’s either never been done, or it was done by someone other than a professional. They are great cars, but finding one that’s already had it done could save you lots of money in the long run.

    Mine sold a month ago fun fast car but the transmission what prevented me from buying Honda Accord V6 again!!

      Automatic transmissions with the V6 have never been Honda’s strong suit for some reason.

      @@cortezttd6225 There’s nothing wrong with it persay. The 6-speed auto shifts smooth for the most part. Just make sure you keep up with transmission fluid changes. If you get it maintained at a dealer or shop, make sure you tell them to do a drain and refill, not a flush.

      @@whitneythe6thgenaccord680 thanks for the info, im actually going to test drive your exact car tommorow, i thought you all were saying the trans had issues at first
      i saw another video where you did pros and cons , you said that you would have preferred the manual v6 which is understandable since you’re a car enthusiast.
      i just want something faster than most of the cars on the road with good gas mileage since its gonna be my daily. i think the v6 auto will be a huge upgrade from my 4cyl cvt
      good videos tho bro pretty informative

    The best middle ground probably would have been to go with a borla. They have an axle back that still gives some muffling but is a lot more noise friendly than the stock exhaust. If you will. There are also resonators that can be put in that would also help to alleviate a no muffler situation.
    But I do think for the long run you'd made the right choice and going back to a more stock configuration. It's an absolutely gorgeous car. I have the same color combination for exterior and interior in a 2013.

      Thanks! The only thing I would change about it would be having black leather instead of gray. Other than that, it’s perfect to me.

    I understand where your coming from, I personally would not change my 2013 honda accord sport for anything, at least until it starts to fall apart but so far it’s been very reliable and fun to ride. Added some nice rims and added Michelin cross climate 2’s and its perfect. 2013-15 has the right amount of technology for me. Because I hate parking sensors that can’t be turned off, fucking annoying.

      For sure, I have an independent Honda shop that I use also. In this case, them and the dealership were around the same price, and I needed the timing belt done as soon as possible.
