Things that need repairing on my 2001 Honda Civic:
Transmission/cat converter (this model year has a particular design problem with it; dealership is charging me "only" 25% of the retail price)
Cracked Exhaust Manifold (ALSO a design flaw with this and other sister model years)
Engine Mount--front one is broken. Yay.
Front Struts leaking.
Front suspension "rubber" bushing is broken on both sides.
Broken stabilizer links, also in the front.
Total quoted? Not including the Transmission, $2,944.00
What am I going to pay in the meantime for a minor tune-up, and the transmission? $1200 plus or minus. Can't wait to hear the final total on THAT. I won't be getting MY car back until perhaps Thursday, and in the meantime I'm driving a loaner car from the dealership. I am so farked.
Thank you, Honda, for producing a car that was wonderful--up until NOW. It has only 87,000 miles on it. And all this crap is happening?
