Honda is a brand that is highly in demand when it comes to choice of purchasing a used car, since Honda reliability is well known and cost of repairs is relatively low. If you are not a knowledgeable consumer what should you look for before making this kind of investment? Many people simply judge a product by its price, and it is not the only deciding factor due to many reasons. For one you could have purchased a U.S, or major accident repaired vehicle for much less. Take a closer examination of your Honda, open all the doors, hood and trunk. Look for manufacture's VIN plate, or the Vehicle Identification Number stickers. Since Honda is one of the manufactures that will mark every panel on the vehicle it is easy to tell if any of the panels has been replaced. Next you should look at the CarProof report to see if there are any insurance claims on this vehicle, if the vehicle was involved in an accident before and it cost $3000 to repair the accident, the report will show you that very clearly. If you see a claim from the CarProof report but all the panels on the vehicle are original, that will mean the vehicle has been repainted and the accident was not sever enough to cause major damage.

One of the most important things to be aware of is major structure or frame damage on a vehicle. These types of damages are difficult to see, one of the best ways to take notice is to look for is marks around the bolts attached to the frame of the vehicle. Look for signs of torque marks or lack of rust if the bolts have been replaced recently. Drive the vehicle to see if it drives straight, if the vehicle shows sign of sever pulling that usually means the frame is not straight and vehicle is pulling to the left or right. The final piece of evidence should be the report of CarProof, if the vehicle has any major damage like that, the cost of repair would exceed $5000. After you have examined the body structure of the vehicle you should begin to ask few fundamental questions regarding the mechanical and service history of the vehicle. There are well known problems regarding the Honda V6 engine which usually cause transmission failure, this include the 1998-2004 Honda Odyssey, 1998-2002 Honda Accord V6. If you are taking one of these vehicles for a test drive and noticed a jerk or hard kick when the vehicle is gear up or down. Then it is obvious the vehicle may potentially face some costly repairs down the road.

So the next time you are looking at a used Honda, make sure don't let the price of the vehicle fool you into thinking it is a better deal. It is much better to purchase a clean or straight vehicle right from the start rather than to purchase a vehicle in poor condition and pay for the repairs on your own down the road.
