Replying to: tomsr1 (Dec 04, 2008 7:04 am) Looks to me like $15,000 is closer to the number. However, with the price of gas going down, these cars aren't retaining their value like they did.

Replying to: otto8 (Dec 03, 2008 11:54 pm) And why would there be a wait for parts, don't these essentially share most parts with the Civic? Hmmm... wait a sec... $1k brake jobs, long wait for parts, OH, now I get it, your buddy lives in Australia! Hey, that's what you get for buyin' one of them there foreign cars. Tell him that Holden makes an El Camino-like car.

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 04, 2008 8:48 am) I'll probably hear a customer say..." I hear Fits need a 1000.00 brake job every 5000 miles!" Pure rubbish. I'm very surprised your Pilot needed rotors at 40,000 miles. Never heard of such a thing. And, no, I don't think Fits share many, if any parts with a Civic. Still, availability isn't a problem at all.

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 04, 2008 8:48 am) Considering the prices dealerships charge... doesn't sound like BS to me. I went in for an oil change today, the dealership said I needed new brake pads. It was $244 just to turn the rotors and put on new pads (front only). On the other side of the coin, we have a local franchise called "Brakeway". For $99 they replace all 4 brakes, turn your rotors, and bleed your system... then they bleed your wallet with all the upselling.

2007 VW GTI. 4 door. Silver. moonroof/sat tunes package DSG tranny 18" wheel option (with summer tires, nice for a philly winter!) only 12K miles on it. Seems pretty clean overall. at a local new car (non-VW) dealer. what is a realistic price on this, considering it needs tires for the winter? |

Replying to: jipster (Dec 04, 2008 10:11 am) ahhh... wait... come to think of it, I think that was just turning the rotors, not replacing them. So that's still pretty close to your price of $250 for the fronts only. But, again, this is a Pilot. $1k on a Fit? I can't buy that. And certainly not every 5k miles. Hell, my 3700lb G35 is not even halfway through its pads and I've now driven it nearly 10k miles AND put 9 autoXs on them in addition to an hour on a full track exceeding 100mph.
