Default Northeast Ohio

Hello all. I currently do not know what car I want to get which is why I joined this forum. I had wanted a Charger but they are either too expensive or the v6 is underpowered for the car's size.


My question is are the costs of parts and repairs still in the high range or have they come down to affordable? We had a Mitsubishi once and parts for it were outrageous. So I am researching what other foreign makes will run in the cost area.


By the way I would be looking at a v6.

Welcome to HAF.

Cost of parts for a Honda seem "ok" to me. There are several online dealerships with good prices for those things that you shoud get OE or the olny place to find them. Then parts stores seem to have a good selection as well.

What year range are you looking at/for?

A 2012, most parts needed for it would be normal maint type items (brakes, fluids, ect). If you get a v6 there is a timing belt on the car that should be done every 100~120K miles. Usually when doing the timing belt there are a few other things you should replace "while there" - water pump, tensioners, ect.

Good luck in whatever you decide.....let us know what you decide to do.
