i have a 2000 LX, bought it used. everything is perfect...automatic transmission too, tranny is in proper working condition. i bought it about october of last year, did a tranny fluid exchange, fuel injection cleaning service, spark plugs, distributor cap, and wire change just incase the previous user was crappy about maintenance. so far, so good. i keep up with my tire rotations, my brakes and rotors, and of course my oil changes. i use a bottle of those fuel injection cleaner shits every oil change (some people will tell you it's crap but i do it just to make sure everything is good), i just did the seafoam. so, yeah, 6th gens look beautiful and as long as you keep up with the maintenance (OIL CHANGES!!!!) you will be fine!
