Accord 2000 Maintenance
Hi,
I bought a Honda Accord 2000 SE yesterday, But I didnt receive any maintenace record on this car. My question is: Can a Mechanic find out what kind of maintenaces (like transmission oil) has been done on this car? at what millage I have to replace Engine belt? The seller told me the car has no accident, and showed me stickers with VIN number on doors and other places, so is that good enough to make sure about collision on this car? Thanks in advance-Rob |

My question is: Can a Mechanic find out what > kind of maintenaces (like transmission oil) has been done on this car? The only shop that might be able to tell you this is the one where the car was serviced in the past. Do you know where this shop is? If the previous owner used more than one shop to maintain his car, you're probably out of luck. > at what millage I have to replace Engine belt? I assume you mean the engine timing belt. Did you get an owner's manual with this car? It will say when the timing belt is supposed to be changed. Look in the index under "maintenance schedule." If you do not have an owner's manual try the contact info at http://www.hondacars.com/info/customer_relations.asp to see about obtaining an owner's manual. According to the Honda site https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/login.asp?brand=honda, for a FOUR cylinder Honda Accord Se it's 105k miles or 7 years, whichever comes first. I didn't see a specification for SIX cylinder 2000 Accords, but this particular site is notorious for omitting maintenance frequencies of timing belts and is therefore garbage as far as I'm concerned. Keep checking back here. Someone will probably post the info from their own 2000 Accord Se owner's manual for you. > The seller told me the car has no accident, and showed me stickers with VIN > number on doors and other places, so is that good enough to make sure about > collision on this car? I know car dealers that have service shops have another way of checking. Their way uses official government-required reports. Call your nearest Honda dealer and ask them if they'll check for you, as a courtesy to you, a new "used Honda" owner. They'll want the VIN to do the check. They'll go onto the internet to a certain site that I don't think is open to the general public right now. Caroline 1991 Honda Civic LX, 152k miles |

Does the car have a dealer sticker on it? Or can you ask the seller where he bought it, and/or had it serviced? You should be able to find out through Honda's system, what has been done to it, regarding maintenance. -- Brian www.accesswave.ca/~orion Practice safe eating - always use condiments. |

How many miles are on it? If its not a huge amount, I'll bet nothing has been done to except maybe oil changes. If you don't have the owners manual, you can register the car on the Honda website owner's link. It has a maintenance schedule. I think if you have already bought the car, it is too late to be worrying about past collisions. If you find evidence of one, can you get your money back? If not, why do you want to know? |

Re: Accord 2000 Maintenance
I went to this site and entered the VIN# but it doesnt like it, it says its
an invalid VIN#, is that because I am in Canada? Thanks-Rob "Charlie S" <chasa@rcn.com> wrote in message news:ts7ja0drmqr2p0kaoou0bapouobb93f4eh@4ax.com... > You just bought a 2000 Honda.
