Default Might become honda Family

So I came here to get some impute before I head out to buy this EF. I'm a Jeep guy. I have a 2000 XJ that I just threw a 4.5 RE lift in, and many more mods for it a long the way. With rock crawling comes the inevitable brakeage of your vehicle. I'm looking at picking up an older car I can just use as a commuter to and from work. Only about 10 miles round trip. This EF came up on CL. I like it because it's completely stock.


If you Honda geniuses could point out any defects I should be looking for when I check it out today, it would be greatly appreciated.

welcome to the forum. if it has a timing belt, and has good milage be sure it has been changed, check to see when the last time his suspensions were checked, wheel alignment done when. if automatic how often trans fluid changed, check unsual tire ware, drive to see if steering shakes mild or more, if exhaust is loud, hard to hear trans, and running gear. check undercarriage for hits, car is low as it is stock.

Compression and leak down test would be a good way to check the engines health. And have it lifted to check for the condition of its undercarriage.
