What to check on a used Honda Accord

- Confirm adaptive cruise / Honda Sensing equipment matches the ask.
- Review collision history carefully — Accords are common commute targets.
Price & mileage pitfalls
- Paying Touring money for an EX-L with aftermarket screens.
- Skipping fluid service history on higher-mile turbos.
