How much is too much to pay, for maintaining a Honda Civic 2000 per year, that is having 122000 miles on it?
Exclude insurance, gas, oil change… Just for mechanical maintenance.
Added (1). I live in NJ if that matters
My rule of thumb - In one year take the largest and smallest repairs you made and remove them from the list of repair bills - add the remainder of the repair bills and divide by 12 if the cost is over what you could afford for a new car monthly payment (including full collision insurance) it might be time to think about moving up.
Your car is older and it is at a time in its life where major parts start wearing out. You are looking at things like timing belts, shocks, plugs wires, maybe even ignition packs. These parts usually don't need replacing often but at or around 80-100K miles they have seen better days.
- Vehicle I drive is a 2007 Honda Element that just turned 64,000 miles. I'm rigorous about keeping up on maintaining it People constantly approach me and ask if I want to sell it because the body and interior are in great condition as are all the internal workings and suspension. Even though Honda does not require synthetic motor oil I use Valvoline full synthetic and change it every 4,000 miles with a new factory filter. My question is how long will my engine last?
- Why did my 2003 Honda Pilot engine just died while i was driving around 30-40 miles per hour? It virbrates every now and then when i hit 35-40 miles really bad of the whole car and I also have a check engine light and vtm-4 light on. I was able to turn off to a side street put in park and shut off and then started the car back up and it was fine again. Any ideas?
- Is 16,000 miles too much for a 2000 Honda Shadow? I'm going to go see a used 2000 Honda Shadow 600vlx which is being sold for $1500. It has ape hangers, a sissy bar and has been bobbed. Does this sound like a good deal or is there too many miles on the bike to begin with? In addition, what should I look for when I go see it to make sure it's running okay?
- How many miles per gallon does a motorcycle give? Much cheaper than a car? Some idio actually said a while back that a motorcycle doesn't really give that many more miles per gallon than a car! This honda Rebel gives 84 miles per gallon! http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/...l-250.aspx And an msrp of only $4000 makes it a steal! Plus the legendary reliability of a honda!
