I had to get a state inspection and get the oil changed. That part went fine. Only cost me 57 bucks.
Seems my (new to me) Honda CR-V needs a whole new a/c system! :grr:
Which will cost about $3K , :grr: :nuke: :cry:
The service manager is trying to negotiate to let me be a charity case since I don't have a warranty and 28K is a little young for the a/c to go. *sniff*
Commiserate with your car repair horror stories and wish me luck!
Did the warranty lapse when the car was sold? Even if it did, it seems like a failure that early is the kind of defect that should never be allowed to be 'out of warranty"...
I think I got just the usual extended drive train warranty.
I did not sign up for an extended Honda warranty. Perhaps I should have. However, this SUV was declared A-OK for me to purchase last year (by this same garage). If the A/C were showing signs of wear, they should have told me then.
7. If it really does need a new AC then that is really unlucky
28K is not a little young, it's totally unacceptable. In fact if the car was under 3 years old it would probably still be under warranty, with that mileage.
Yeah, it's a 2002 model though. I bought it because I couldn't believe I had found a car with such low milage at a price I could afford. Most of the other cars around here were newer models but they 1) had higher milage 2) were more expensive to boot.
