Coincidental timing on this thread for me. I found a crack in my plastic radiator of my 210k mile Honda a few days ago, and decided to replace it. 2 hours and 120 bucks later the job is done. Dealers charge 4 or 5 times that to replace. High mileage used cars make lots of sense, but only if you can do a most of the little stuff yourself. Fortunately, because the car is worth nothing, you don’t have to worry about breaking something when you do the work yourself.

I am crossing my fingers to keep this car going another 50k miles. Who wants to blow all that money on a new car, hell my AC still blows strong and cold. Honda all the way!
