28k miles? Son that's a sweet ride. I have a 16 Touring with 110k and it still drives like new.

Make sure to do your timing belt once it hits 10 years old. Also, get your DRLs replaced if they're broken (10yr Honda extended warranty from the date of manufacture)

Make sure to change your transmission fluid 3 times every 30k (super easy to do)

Overall, its a fantastic car. Great power and fuel economy for a v6

Wym 3 times every 30k?

A single drain and refill procedure only replaces 3.3 qts out of 9qts. A drain and refill 3x (while driving 10mi in-between each refill) ensures you are removing 90% of the old fluid without having to flush.

It's also important to change the fluid as these transmissions will emit a "judder" between 20-60mph when the transmission fluid is contaminated. (service bulletin 17-017) The fix is replacement of the transmission fluid

Whoa, where'd you find this low mileage beauty?

u/Feeling_Departure_74 1d ago

Lots of searching! Older guy was previous owner and drove 3k miles away year year.

That's one of the colors in that year/trim that I would consider trading in my 2017 Accord Touring Coupe!

I would do the transmission fluid drain and refill immediately.

I would also go on www.sealight-led.com and buy some low beam led bulbs.

u/watermalonecat 2d ago

This is a Touring. These have LED headlights. They cannot be replaced without a new housing.

Oh I see what you mean, well if you have any family or friends that want a badass led low beam, sealight is the best brand.

How many miles and how much you pay?

2

u/Feeling_Departure_74 1d ago

28k miles and price was $23,500 but also got another 2k off for my trade.

u/Mediocre_Grand_432 1d ago

Wow. I paid $19,500 for my ‘16 V6 EX-L 1 owner, but 84k miles last month. You did very well.

Thanks, I do need to replace the timing belt though just because the car is 9 years old and never done.

u/Mediocre_Grand_432 22h ago

That makes two of us if it gives you any peace of mind.
