ec5780 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 There was a post on the old Honda Karma / H-Tune forums about this. Unfortunately those forums are no longer online but from memory the overall comment was that it's a good buy just a few things to watch out for: corrosion by the rear wheel arches rear brakes binding there may have been one other thing that escapes me. It may have only been relevant to a certain subset like the diesel or automatic versions My own comments: power steering can start whining. Usually replacing the o-rings and fluid does the trick, if so this is a cheap repair (petrol, manual) if it hasn't had a replacement clutch, chances are it will need one around 80,000-120,000 miles. They tend to hold their value relatively well (petrol model) check if it has an OEM catalytic converter. If so this is a target so ensure it's protected and/or marked. Some local police forces are doing this for free, either at a 'drop in' session or through the Honda dealers - in my area both have been offered. If it's a non-original replacement, it's less likely to be targeted as it's not worth very much to the thieves Hope this helps, good luck with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
