#224 of 275 Re: To find a good mechanic [mikefm58] by tankbeans Jan 07, 2009 (4:23 pm)
Replying to: mikefm58 (Jan 07, 2009 10:14 am) Thanks for all the advice. I know Mr. Host person, wrong forum , I do have some things that I want checked soon. I know I'm no where near close enough for a full tune up and fluid changes. Probably brake fluid. I'm sure it hasn't been done yet. 60k since new. I'm responsible for 24k of them. Just trying to save money.   I know I've always been more comfortable with my dealer. They charge about $100/hr for labor, or around the same thing as most indies charge and they only look at Honda's website rather than having shop standards for time and distance before X has to be done. If I'm confusing sorry. The only thing they wanted me to do was get my drive belt done, I know I have a timing chain, but the belt looked okay to me. I said no thanks and moved on.   Having no money is an effective way to avoid getting screwed in those situations.
#225 of 275 Timing Belt by Kellbone Jan 08, 2009 (6:22 pm)
What's the feeling about replacing the timing belt on my 2003 Accord EX-L V6 at 107K miles? Is it really necessary at that interval. About 90% of those miles were on the open road. thanks.

#226 of 275 Honda America Financing by Kellbone Jan 08, 2009 (6:25 pm)
Anyone know of any special financing for purchasing a new 2009 Accord Sedan through Honda? Will they budge off the 3.9% they tout for an excellent credit score? Thanks. Other comments I have read from other owners on other details have been very helpful. Replies to this message: rgathright (Jan 20, 2009 4:51 pm)

Replying to: Kellbone (Jan 08, 2009 6:22 pm) Check your owner's manual. On my 99 CRV, it said 7yrs/105K miles to change the timing belt. That's not a maintenance item to let slide.

Replying to: Kellbone (Jan 08, 2009 6:25 pm) I am in the upper tier of credit score and got 1.9% for 36 months on 1/2/2009.   The car is certainly a more economical option than the 2009 Toyota Prius. Dealers would only budge $1,000 off the sticker for any car. I was able to get over $4500 off the sticker on this car. If you want to find out how my 2009 Honda Accord 2.4L EX-L is working for me view the review I published here: Epinions - 2009 Honda Accord Sedan Review

Replying to: Kellbone (Jan 08, 2009 6:22 pm) Most people I know who have disregarded replacing the timing belt at the necessary interval have regretted it. Some going over by perhaps 2000 miles. And when the belt goes, depending on the engine, so do valves, sensors, etc....   Like Nike, just do it! Replies to this message: hondalvr1 (Jan 27, 2009 10:16 am)

Replying to: xmech (Jan 23, 2009 10:13 pm) It is not a freewheeling engine. If the timing belt breaks ppistons collide with valves, etc. and the engine is ruined. Had a Dodge Intrepid with SOHC V6 with freewheeling engine - timing belt broke at 34,000 miles - no engine damage,

#233 of 275 2009 Accord exhaust stainless steel grade by jhrost Apr 19, 2009 (10:21 am)
I was wondering if a better grade of stainless steel is standard on a 2009 Honda Accord exhaust (like a non-magnetic austenitic grade like 304), or do they just give you a ferritic grade like 409 that the muffler shops put on? I seem to remember that the original equipment on my 1995 Honda Accord exhaust lasted quite a while compared to the stuff the national muffler chains use for replacements.
