2004 Honda Accord V6
This is my first post so please be kind...I am the original owner of a 2004 Honda Accord V6 who is clueless about cars.
Purchase date: 05/2004
Miles: 55,000
Mostly city driving (3 miles to and from work—approximately 75% of my mileage is stop and go traffic in lovely Overland Park, KS)
I just returned from the Honda dealer with a new power steering pump, new front brake pads and resurfaced rotors, brake fluid flush and coolant service. The timing belt should be changed after the first 105k miles or 7 years and Honda recommended replacing it for $1200! When I questioned them about the cost, they said it included the timing belt, water pump and external drive belts.
What is more important, the number of miles 105k miles or 7 years? I don’t want to spend money unnecessarily but I want my car to last.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank-you,
