Hi Scotty,
I have a 1998 Honda Odyssey (that I bought new) and it now has just over 130,000 miles on it. My mechanic has recently been telling me to get rid of my car because repairs will become expensive. This doesn't make sense to me since I have always maintained my car regularly (same mechanic for over 20 years now) and the mileage is low for a 23 year old car. I like everything about my car. What is your opinion? Is my mechanic right? Should I replace my car? If so, what is a comparable car in quality to a 1998 Honda Odyssey?
Thank you, Scotty! I really like watching your videos. Very informative.
Sincerely,
Deve Guzman
Let's see.....................
It runs fine and you love it.
Probably all paid for.
Low miles for any year.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Keep the car and get a new mechanic?
Save yourself $25,000
Just my two cents {pear}:happy:
It depends on the rust situation down there in your chassis.
Suspension parts are like brakes. They just wear out. It doesn't matter how well you maintain the vehicle. They are consumable items.
What's your mechanic reason to get rid of the car?
I brought my car in because there was a strange noise coming from the undercarriage. Turns out my car's alignment was out of whack, which affected the suspension and caused the front struts and cambers (as well as all my tires) to need replacement.
