Hi Guys,
first of all its been a looooong time since ive been on here as i said farewell to you all after selling my beloved 7th Gen 2.4 type S to get a fiesta diesel! God what a shock to the system that was! but needs must at the time. Well i p/x in that darn fiesta about 5 weeks ago for an Alfa 159 - a total heart rules head move - and of which ive had lots of trouble with (no surprises) so ive handed back this weekend. So, i need to get something else. Truth be told i miss my accord like hell, and have coveted the 8th Gen for a while but my budget just couldnt stretch that far. Well ive seen one i like and drove it yesterday, its a little more than i wanted to pay but i do like it and if its worth it il pay it. Im just cant decide whether its worth the asking price or not, so id appreciate some of your guys opinions/advice etc. Link Below

The bodywork is immaculate for the miles and it has a comprehensive service history. The DPF was replaced in October last year, but i dont think that should worry me, probably good news if anything and the transmission fluid changed randomly (not at a service interval). Had a good look round the car and cant spot anything out of the ordinary. The only thing that stood out on the test drive is the clutch pedal feels shaky, probably clutch will need replacing shortly. And also one of the drivebelts on the side of the engine thats visible, looks a bit old, but pretty sure thats not the cambelt as i thought it was a chain on the 2.2 i-Dtec? Other than it looks and drives beautifully!
What do you reckon? Worth the price? Anything i should be aware of on this model?
Thanks in advance
Mike
