This car was driven by a woman obviously. :fawk: Yes I know that there are a select few good women drivers though.

300 miles late on an oil change wont hurt at all. As far as shifting, yes my car does that too, but I drive VERY hard... so its like my car is used to me. For the motor mount, I had shaking, and the motor mount replaced. It helped a lot but didn't completely take all shaking out... you should def. get it replaced tho, $160 isn't that much money yo.

That is about the price for water pump, timing belt, and other main belt replacement. As for radiator, wait till it goes, they don't really just "go" unless it cracks, and he can't predict that. 400 bucks is rediculous... you can get the OEM radiator for ~$150 and installation shouldn't be more than about ~$150 too. Exhaust shouldn't cost that much, just get a new cat. back exhaust system..., or take it to a local exhaust shop specialty place. You may want to fix that air bag problem, but then again it could be nothing. It's up to you, but it sure would suck to have it randomly go off while driving down the road. Brakes... thats a good price.

Japanese cars are great, but you still have to fix things. If you think about it, 2500 bucks isn't that much for an 8 year old car, if you just add it to it's initial cost.

Dealers wont give you anything for a car, if you sell it, do it private party. Accords are REALLY easy to sell. You should be able to get at least 6.5-7K for it.

And yes, there is a griding noise when you have problems with breaks... so just wait till you hear that if you want.
