[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. That is tough. Both of my Odysseys went over 200k miles without touching the inside of the engine. The reputation is there but, obviously, the engine in your van did not last a fraction of what it should. Why? Doesn't matter.

Sure, take it somewhere else to get another evaluation and another quote. That's reasonable.

Some cars simply become money pits and this story sounds like one of those. Yes, it's a big loss, yes it's totally disappointing. And, certainly, I would recommend you getting anything but another Honda. Depending on how you want to deal with the old van, you might just dump it as a low ball trade-in on your next vehicle.

I would ask straight up whether the dealer who did the evaluation or the second shop is interested in buying it. Anyone who fixes cars is in this position all the time: an owner brings in a car with a big problem and wants to get rid of the car. The the dealer/shop has looked over the car and has a pretty good idea of what the repair will cost and what the vehicle is worth. The advantage they have is that they can repair the vehicle "at cost", which is much less than what they would charge you. There's a good chance one of them will make you an offer. [/quote]

I think sometimes you get a car that went down the line on a Friday afternoon, and the problems just seem to come one after another. Every car that we've ever had seems to either just work forever or be a problem from the start. I would put more money into a problem car  [/quote]
