125,000 miles & never replaced the shocks?

2002 honda civic i've been driving for 13 yes now & it has 125,000 miles. The car handles great but the dealer wants $500 to replace them. Would a place like goodyear or firestone charge maybe half of that like $250? I feel the dealer has a high quote for this job.

You might be able to get about $100 less if you go elswhere

If he'll do it for $500, he's making you the deal of a lifetime. (Struts all around cost me $850 from an independent shop; dealer price is close to $2000.)

News Flash. If only shock replacement dollar wise would fix your problems. Your car has struts on all four wheels.

  • Would you purchase a 2004 Honda pilot for $6,000.000 that has 216,000 miles on it? I'm just browsing online looking at cars for sale and a lot of them have 200k or more miles on them and they want $4,000 or more. Why do people sale their cars for such a high price with a lot of miles on them? Its not just Hondas its all types of cars private and dealers as well
  • GRS 125 or a Honda CBF 125? I'm stuck between the bikes, both look very reliable and build quality. The GRS 125 is new and is around 2000 pounds at my dealer, pretty bike and feels nice, Austrian made so its a European bike. The CBF125 is a 2010 model with 310 miles, pretty much new and seems nice too, it comes around 1700 pounds. So I was wondering which one I would be recommend as a starter bike and what's the better choice?
