My own experience
We have had a 2004 ody res ie bought it new. I would ensure when the tsb came out if this one was affected that it was taken back in to get the lubrication system they put in, sorry cant remember the specifics. Of course check maintenance records etc. We, have knock on wood had very good luck. , 139k and counting. Has turned out to be very reliable. I am fairly regular with maintenance!,oil changes, regularly scheduled services at our Honda dealer, timing belt change! Water pump etc. I computed recently that we had spent an average of about 850 a year in all maintenance costs over about 7.5 years. This includes all major and minor stuff as above! 2 sets of brake changes! Fluid changes,filters and the list goes on. My experience is usually if the car was taken care of,then you will do ok ! Good luck
