Used car pre-purchase question: Axle repair at 45k for honda accord
I am considering a 2009 Accord LX, with about 87k miles. Carfax shows following two unusual repairs around 40-45k miles. Any suggestions on what might have happened. Could this be a problem car that I should stay away from. I do plan to take this car to a honda dealership for full inspection before purchase.
Pls reply asap, as I meet the seller on wednesday (EST). The agreed price is ~$10.5k. Any suggestions on whether its a good or bad price. 06/04/2010 40,717 Phillipsburg Easton Honda Phillipsburg, NJ Front axle(s) replaced/repaired Recommended maintenance performed Drivability/performance checked 08/17/2010 45,474 Phillipsburg Easton Honda Phillipsburg, NJ Drivability/performance checked Left axle replaced Steering/suspension checked

Re: Used Car Pre-purchase question
I don't know why they would be replaced, but if it was done by a Honda dealer (As it appears) then you shouldn't have a lot to worry about...

Re: Used Car Pre-purchase question
Also looking for suggestion on getting it tested at a dealership vs other repair shops. My concern is if they dealerships give a very non-definitive answer to cover their reputation, as in, "axle looks good now, but can't tell why it got replaced or what happens 3 months later". Do they even cover the axle/cv joints in these pre-purchase checks. I will mention this carfax entry to them, ofcourse, so they can focus on it more.
Am new to this area (Staten Island NY), so don't have a trusted mechanic to go to.
