True but I would most likely buy another Honda because major problems like this are nearly unheard of for them.

I paid $1700 for the car in Dec 08. it has 165,xxx miles on it. There is no way in hell it is financially sound to invest like $2000 in a car that is 16 years old and worthless even after I would invest this money in it. It's just not reasonable. I wish I could work on it myself but I am lacking everything needed to. I have no tools, garage, or time. I have always wanted one of these cars but now that time has passed. I think it's time to move on.

Re: Overheating

At least those vanagon guys won't want it
Seriously, put it up for sale here if your not wanting to put money into it. If there isn't much rust, i'm sure someone who can do the work would hopefully fix it up and get her back on the road.

You are welcome, Dan!













I just want to go back to 1966 and buy some Mustangs!
















And, in 1995, punch my now ex-wife in the head so hard, that I break her ankles!

Yes, if you plan to get rid of it, please don't junk it. Put it up for sale here for cheap and someone will likely take it. You won't get anything more than the cost of scrap metal for junking it.

This is very ironic that I ended up with the car in the end
