Q: Is it work the trouble and cost to repair my 2002 Honda Accord.
I daily-drive a 2002 Honda Accord V6 coupe with just under 92000.0 on the Odometer. The car is single owner with some dings/dents and some blemishes. I have not always been diligent with upkeep but the mechanicals are still solid. I'm thinking of an overall repair and refurbishment (make like new) but scared of the possible cost. I don't want to buy a new/used car (the devil you know) and would prefer to keep this one going for a few years more (again only 91000 miles.) Any suggestions please? Thanks for any advice you can give me. Cheers, Sam.
