Advice purchasing 07 Accord Euro..

[Nickk84]

Hi Guys,

I’m looking at purchasing a MY07 Accord Euro 6 speed manual Build date Oct06 for $12,000 in VIC.
The car seems in good condition apart from a few surface scratches and the average Km's of 120,000.

The only concern I have is when turning the steering wheel at low speeds there is a whining sound. I have searched the forums and the cause could be a number of things.
The seller tells me that it is a common problem and Honda has recalled the model for this problem and can be repaired due to the recall.

Any opinions on the noise? What is the worst case/cost of repairing the steering problem? Is it a good buy?

And yes I know I should and will arrange an inspection before purchasing, but don’t want to waste my money on an inspection if the noise is a serious problem that could cost me thousands to fix.

Thanks
