I drive a 2000 Honda CR-V. I bought it new in 2001. It has less than 49,000 miles on it.
I just found out the repairs are going to be $1,300
Before you sound off and get all sexist on me, you should probably know that I worked in the automotive industry for 10 years, as a wholesale buyer. As THE wholesale buyer, as I purchased 75% of the product our 35 warehouses stocked.
So, NO, I didn't get screwed.
As a matter of fact, I made him go through not only every process that was run, BUT every part that was purchased for VonCar. Everything was necessary. Plus, we added on a transmission service to help the longevity of VonCar.
I'm actually pretty lucky I took it in when I did. Plus, after 10 years of no problems, I consider this small potatoes.
On a (totally related) side note: Anyone hiring part time? Looks like I need a part time job.

What's wrong with being sexy?
The only thing worse than owning a car is not owning one. I had to drop about $500 on mine recently.
Make the Vortex of Shenanigans pay.
Sorry about the car, Von, but I can relate.

Wow, you drive it even less than I drive the Civic! (I don't get in it for weeks at a time, but the drives to D.C. and back rack up the miles.)
