you can blow a lot of money on all the necessary repairs to get it going in good condition. it may seem like a large blow in your wallet now, but it is all worth it in the long run.How is the "Chevrolet Panel" removed on a 03 Avalanche tailgate?
the engines on these cars do last a long time. once you get all the major repairs out of the way, don't feel bad about spending a little here and there for daily maintenance (oil change, tune ups, tire maintenance, etc.) i drive an 87 4 cylinder toyota, and it has almost 400k miles on it. i bet if you really care about the car, it'll go up to 500k.

At 120K this car has not been maintained well for it to be in this condition. Unless the engine is still in top condition, I would be hesitant to put that kind of money in it. Honda's are fairly simple cars, but you still have brakes, axles, radiator, battery, water pump, etc that could fail driving the repair bill way up.
The engines will last over 400,000 miles if taken care of.
Changing wheels from 3 stud to 4 or 5 stud?
Well I don't think you can find a better car for $2500. If you spend a little more $4k-$6k you can get yourself a decent used car. If not Honda's have excellent engines so changing the clutch and trans should give you a least a couple more years.Fram oil fitler micron rating?
I would stick with the Honda, they are great cars. I have a 1990 Honda Accord and it runs like a champ even with 206,000 miles on it! Just keep up on the maintenance and you will be fine!i have mould growing on the seats of my car how do i get rid of it?
my first car was a honda, it lasted over 10 years the mileage ran its course and started all over again...where can i find mac tools in the uk?
my first suggestion, is have a local mechanic or your dad check out the car first before you go ahead with anything. Also the car only has 120,000 miles, has the oil and the maintaining of the car been up to date, this is key to helping the car run smoothly? It might be a minor problem that is easily fixed so instead of jumping the gun and spending all that money get more than one quote....
