What should I know before buying a used Honda CRV Graham?
so, I bought a used Honda CRV a while back. thought I was making a genius move, but then realized the previous owner must’ve had a pet elephant. the smell was like a zoo, man. But hey, learned a lot through that experience. make sure to check for weird smells and hidden stains, trust me on this.
also, check the mileage. I thought I was scoring a low-mileage deal, but it turned out the engine was basically begging for retirement. And don’t forget the maintenance records, they can save you a ton of headaches later. any weird noises when you test drive? that’s a red flag, right?
so, what are the must-ask questions for sellers you think? and seriously, try to bring a friend who knows cars, cause I kinda winged it and regretted it later.
got a used Honda CRV few years back in Seattle great car but make sure to check the transmission they can be problematic some models I’ve read about
also keep an eye on the mileage if its above 150k might need some serious service soon overall solid choice though just be a bit cautious
I remember when I got my used Honda CRV in Seattle it was a good ride but check for rust if you’re in wet areas like the Pacific Northwest.
I’ve heard the 2007 models have some transmission issues too so I d look for service records.
I love the space though perfect for road trips.
I remember when I got my used Honda CRV in Seattle it was like hitting the jackpot. Just make sure to check the maintenance records cause they tell all.
The mileage matters too I’ve found some with crazy miles but still run like new. Overall they seem pretty reliable but don’t forget the little quirks that can catch you off guard.
when I bought my used CRV in Toronto I loved it but then had to deal with some rust issues later guess they don’t always show up right away
do check the service history and if possible take it to a mechanic before buying too many stories about hidden problems with these models
I ve had my used Honda CRV for two years here in New York and honestly it’s been a solid ride. But I’ve learned to check the mileage and maintenance history. I know a few folks who got clunkers cause they skipped that.
Also watch out for rust especially if you’re in a snowy area cause road salt can be a hidden menace. Overall I think it’s a good choice if you do your homework.
I’ve had my fair share of used car shopping experience in Seattle and trust me you want to check the maintenance history on any CRV.
Also keep an eye out for rust if you’re in a snowy area.
I ve had my Honda CRV for a couple years now and honestly its been a solid ride never had major issues but check the maintenance records before buying. They say rust can be a problem in some areas especially in the North.
I ve had my share of ups and downs with used cars and the CRV is solid but check the transmission that’s a biggie I know a guy in Oregon who had to drop serious cash on repairs
I have to say the interior space is great for road trips and the fuel economy ain’t bad either but be wary of rust in the north I’ve seen some real ugly ones
Ive been looking at used Honda CRVs for a while now. I found one in Seattle last month. The mileage was decent but the interior smelled kinda funny like wet dog.
Make sure to check for any recalls and see if the service record is clean. I had a friend who bought one and it turned into a money pit. You might wanna take it to a mechanic before buying just to be safe.
I remember when I got my used Honda CRV in Detroit I thought it was a steal but I ve come to learn that checking the service records is key.
Some people overlook that and end up with issues later on. The engine should be smooth and the interior comfy. Don’t rush it.
so I bought a used Honda CRV last year in Vancouver and honestly it’s been great. however I ve heard some horror stories about the transmission issues they can have. also check the mileage cause you don’t wanna end up with some high mileage lemon. fun times right?
