you shouldn't be paying any more than that at 100k unless have a few problems or need tires or something like that

where did you buy it from? new or 2nd hand from wrecker?

you will finder dealers will VERY rarely want to fit parts supplied from wreckers or anywhere bar the dealership just in case the part goes to shit and the person comes back complaining. but yes we can do anything repairwise to hondas lol, we know our shit :)

anyone know a good non-Honda services place in near footscary, Altona...area in the western Melbourne area?

Yeah it's 2nd hand from wrecker.. coz i can't find a new one from aus honda dealer.. they ran out of stock :( how much it gonna cost me? also i've got problem with my air conditioning: it smells not nice. I brought it to one of honda dealer service but they said my car doesn't have any a/c filter to be replaced and just put perfume on it. Any idea how to get rid the smell?
