Hi
I am about to buy a 7th Generation Honda Accord - diesel, 2.2 Litres.
I am trying to acheive low cost motoring that is quiet and comfortable on the motorways, but which has reasonable overtaking abilities & reasonable handling on corners
I am planning to spend about £3000 - 7000 and (probably!) get it re-mapped.
- What should I look out for when buying such a car? (Is there a good list somewhere??)
- What are the main service items / main things that go wrong?
- Any other buying advice?
Many thanks

P.S. I havent decided on exact model yet - year 2006-ish(?), probably an estate...
PPS. Is it a good or a bad idea to buy from a previous owner who was a mechanic ?(!)
