I had the mechanic do the bushings. Too complicated a fix for me.

I also need an alignment to pass inspection. I think I'm going to get the lifetime alignment at Firestone for $160.

don't do the alignment if you're planning on getting new tires however---do the tires first.

Thanks, but the tires are in good condition. Anyone know if I really have to buy the premium gas, or will regular work just fine?

I am considering a 2009 Accord LX, with about 87k miles. Carfax shows following two unusual repairs around 40-45k miles. Any suggestions on what might have happened. Could this be a problem car that I should stay away from. I do plan to take this car to a honda dealership for full inspection before purchase.Pls reply asap, as I meet the seller on wednesday (EST).
The agreed price is ~$10.5k. Any suggestions on whether its a good or bad price.
