Ask Bark: The Element of Surprise
Phil writes:
Hi Bark,
My 2003 Honda Element is in need of a new engine due to a burnt valve. The vehicle is in otherwise good shape, with both the body and interior holding up well. I would like to keep it. However, my Element’s 240,000 miles and the quoted $2,800 price for a 70,000-mile replacement engine give me pause. I have another newer vehicle, so transportation isn’t a problem.
Should I fix the Honda and keep it as a sometimes commuter — or move on?
Ah, sentimentality. I’m going to answer your question in a bit here, but allow me some poetic license first.
Yet Another Recall Edition: Honda's Odyssey Brakes Full Of Hot Air
Usually, we don’t report every recall (you’d be pretty tired of it pretty quick,) but in the interest of things being in the spotlight, please be advised that Honda will recall more than 410,000 Odyssey minivans and Element small trucks from the 2007 and 2008 model years, says Associated Press.
