G'day all,

Looking to buy a 98 Accord Sedan, and I want to make sure my purchase is as 'informed' as possible. I know about the old saying you get what you pay for, but this seems to be about the best source out there!
I'm looking performance-wise at the 4cyl VTEC because of the compromise b/t get up and economy. The one's I'm looking at have around 100K miles. Other than the timing belt is there any particular item I should ask the owners about vis a vis maintenance - engine or otherwise?
Does the 98 in particular have any known gremlins I should be aware of?
Is there a particularly good year/model for the Accord based on resale or just a matter of they got it particularly right?! Looking pre-2000 because of da budget.
Should I look harder at the V6? What performance or other mods does the EX model have vice the LX or otherwise?
Sorry to ramble - any and all help gladly appreciated in advance!
Cheers, Kelly
