you gotta watch when you buy a used car. especially an si. even though it might of been maintained religiously, the person before you probably raced the hell out of it. that's pretty much what they do with the si. i don't race my 07 si. i just cruise around with it.

What might have happened in that "minor accident"? What does CarFax show? CR shows Honda engines as having "Much Better than Average" reliability for many years, now. Of course, your Honda could be part of that tiny % of failures. Still, the car could have been abused, somehow. I always wonder WHY someone would get rid of a car with low mileage, i.e. 10,000 miles/year, on it. "The car was owned by the daughter of a mechanic and flawlessly maintained. We have no reason to doubt him." OK. You can figure on a Honda loosing 15% a year in value (depreciation) so after 3 years that car had lost 38.6% of its original value. Must be a very well paid mechanic, then, don't you think? Or maybe that car had been bought USED by the mechanic? Then what? You should be able to get the factory rep who "looked at the situation" to explain why he had declined to help with the repair.
