I have a 2003 Accord V6 with 105,000 miles. I jsut made an appointment for the 105,000 service and was told it will be $1400. Could that be possible?? I should buy a new car instead?

 

Well you need the timing belt replaced if it wasn't replaced around 90,000 miles. And they should do the water pump as well since that is a cheap part and the labor is the same as it is for the timing belt (in other words the labor is expensive, but the parts are cheap so fix them at the same time so you don't have to pay for that labor again in the future.)It cost me about $900 at my independent mechanic. Expect to pay more at the dealer they'll find some other things wrong with your car, too) $1400 is a lot, but that's still cheaper than a new car.You could check around and see if you can beat that price,good luck,Bobby

 

Thanks buc. I'm going to call an independent guy tomorrow.
