Used Car of the Day: 2002 Honda Accord Coupe

by Tim Healey

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.

  • W Conrad I can't remember the last time I listened to the radio (AM/FM). I did listen to Sirius when it was free for 3 months on my car, but otherwise it's been my collection of mp3's or Spotify.
  • Lou_BC How Do You Find Tunes on the Road? I don't. I have Spotify with several thousand songs on it. Or I dig out my old IPOD with 3x that number. Off is also a good option. I don't like tunes when travelling the backcountry. I like to hear and feel what my machine is doing.
  • Lou_BC Needs one valve? Replacing all the valves isn't much more work. Oh and a fresh top end means death to an old bottom end. So... complete rebuild. Around $1,800 US for a reman. Then you have installation. Hard pass. My CJ5 is calling. LOL
  • Cprescott I don't. I have Satellite radio or I use that old fashioned radio in the car for free.
