If I were in your position I would get something else. I'm actually a little tired of my 00 accord v6 coupe and I made a mistake in buying it. I've had no problems with it, I just want a better/more fun of a car. You also have the tranny problem risk even though I've heard it's a big "over hyped" problem. I've had no problem with my tranny but I'm only at 60k miles. I drive it really bad though, hasnt changed one bit in the year and a h alf I've owned it.
