Look for an older Honda accord with a manual transmission (MT). MT cars were made in Japan and last forever. I had a 1999 MT Accord and put over 600,000 miles on it. I changed the timing belt every 100K and kept newer tires on it.
Paid $500 to a trusted mechanic. Ordered an AISIN timing belt kit and a Bando drive belt for around $250 (including tax and shipping).
def go through and do the timing belt, and all the oil seals behind it. They're so happy once they're not leaking anymore
I just put a timing belt in it at 144k. Easy 1 day job. Thats really all I have had to do to it aside from tires, brakes and oil changes in the last 6 years.
Paying $1750 for my timing belt package next month. 13 V6 Accord at 110k miles. Was this done when you hit 100k miles?
I have always had good luck with gates belts and they have always looked good when I replaced them too. 70-80k belts looking almost new.
I changed the timing belt on my girlfriend's 99 accord last year for a grand total of 24 years and 110k miles. To be honest it looked really good and I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted another 15 years
233,000 mi. 2007 accord with 2.4L vtech. Sold the car to a buddy and it is still going strong.
I replaced mine at 80k when it was 8 years old and the belt still looked perfect.
I had 280k on my 01 accord when the og snapped, thought it had been swapped by previous owner as it looked to be in good shape when I did the water pump and I ate that about as fast as I stopped when it killed my engine.
