Talk me out of this

It's actually not a Honda is the thing, it's a Saturn :P So resale value might work out to be a moot point. Then again, since it has a Honda engine and transmission, it's very likely that i would be able to sell it private party for substantially more than I would trade-in.

You are probably right about that Accumulator. I've been looking solely at trade-in with it though, and they've never asked if it needs any maintenance or anything though.

I can probably fix the rattles. They're just typical cheapass GM rattles. GM has this aversion to using screw or high quality plastics or anything to keep your interior looking and sounding quality.

i have a couple of chrysler products....over 1100hp between the two of them..lol..killing the ozone one hp at a time...easy to maintain and a lot cheaper than my ferrari..both get >20mpg on the hwy...both handle like a dream and the quality is top notch...

i absolutely despise honda.... i did try a nissan product one time (armada) and it had the most issues of any car i've owned ...at one point the dealer had to replace all the rotors due to a recall and the steering wheel still vibrated like a turbo dildo

If they don't ask, and you haven't had it done, then just keep quiet about it

But if you *have* had such work done I'd make a big deal out of it. Being able to assure them that it's "lot-ready" can make a difference IME, even though the person writing up the trade-in value might be assuming their mechanic can do the work for next to nothing.

It's sorta like having it all detailed..one less thing they need to spend time/money on before they flip it.
