HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 мар 2019
- Greg - Your Car Angel- talks about the problems in each generation of the Honda CRV. Air Conditioner failure (A/C problems) in the 2nd generation which ran between 2002-2006. Suspension issues in the 3rd generation which ran between 2007-2011, including sway bar links and weak struts. The 4th generation which ran between 2012-2016 had issues with vibration in the drivers seat and steering wheel and the finally the 5th generation with oil dilution issues on the 1.5 liter turbo engine in the Honda EX and EXL models.

Got a 1998 CR-V with 417,000 miles. Still running perfectly. These cars are so well built.
We bought a very low mileage 2008 in 2010 to pull behind our motorhome. The motorhome is history. The Honda is still going strong as our daily (only) driver. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned. Regular oil and filter changes and one set of tires have been the only maintenance needed. It’s still under 100K miles. Since I’m 76, it’s looking like the CR-V will outlast me.
2nd Gen 2002 - 2006 (2:11)
3rd Gen 2007-2011 (2:46)
4th Gen 2012 - 2016 (6:00)
5th Gen 2017 (6:59)
Thank you❤
THANKS!!
Thank you!!

THANKS!
I love my 2011 CRV and it's still going strong. Keeping it for as long as humanly possible. I think we CRV owners are a pretty loyal bunch!
I'm looking at a 2011 crv is it a good car?
@@makeyourmindbleed It's been a great one but just like any other car you get what you put into it. I would insist on seeing the service records for it. If they can't produce them I would keep looking.
@@makeyourmindbleed I've only had my 2011 for ~8 months so far but I've been very happy with my purchase so far. Runs well with ~140k miles. It's a little rough on bumps as SUVs tend to be but very comfortable overall.
And the rubber trim comment on the video is very accurate. The trim is coming up on the edges on several windows.
This is why I’m walking away from Honda. They don’t honor their warranty anymore. I bought a brand new hr-v that gave me too many issues, some of which they wouldn’t fix properly.
They still make good products but the company has become too greedy. And it shows in their customer service.
@@yedjonasinvest.653 Surely that is down to your local dealer, not Honda as a whole?
I have a 1999 CRV, you can't kill it! We have over 300,000 miles on it and it is still going strong.
Virginia Thompson I have a 97 crv but the only issue I have is thunking when idle
We have a 99 with 120k and a 5 speed. Unfortunately hail got it today! Still runs great though.
How many times the transmission acted up?
I have a '99 also with 338,000 on it. Still my daily driver. The only major issue was I needed a valve job. The owner's manual states to adjust the valve lash at 100,000 miles. the interval is actually about 30,000 miles. Only the U.S. manual says 100,000 miles, the rest say 30,000. Honda would not fix it, but they did issue a TSB sometime in the 2000's. Too late for me. The symptoms usually begin as a check engine light that reveals misfires in one or more cylinders, along with a rough idle. I ended up with 2 burned exhaust valves. The root cause (I found out later) was soft valve seats which allowed the lash to diminish gradually over time. My engine is the 2.0L 4-cyl. non-vtec B20Z. Other than that, it's been a good vehicle.
I also have a 1999 crv it has 121,000 on it. Running strong, although I feel I'm pressing my luck since I haven't had the Timing belt replaced.
Still driving my 1997 CR-V, haven't even had to change a single light bulb. The car has been nothing short of amazing.
Yes that generation of Honda's where supreme, but today's Honda's I'd look elsewhere.
@@Desertduleler_88 Today Hondas are equally good
@@nikolanikola8543 Ever since Honda shifted production to Thailand, the quality has dropped.
@@Desertduleler_88 Well that's expected, but their cars are still very good.
@@nikolanikola8543 No, that's not expected if you happen to be a consumer. Honda has gone to shit.
I was planning to sell my 2011 CRV and after reading most of the positive comments here ... I changed my mind ... I’m keeping it :)
I'm still driving my 2001 Honda CR-V!
How’s the 2011 crv now ?
How many miles on it now?
209,000 miles on my 3rd generation 2009 LX and going strong. Basically trouble free. Engine and transmission are rock solid smooth and amazing. Never had the valves adjusted. As others have noted, it just keeps going. At 200,000 I replaced all the shocks/struts with new Honda OEM parts. The ride had gotten a bit floaty and the new struts brought back the old taut but comfortable feel and tight handling. I am expecting it will hit 300,000 easy. It is just been an amazing vehicle.
My 2010 CRV just passed 320,000 miles. Changed plugs once, changed alternator once, replaced ac blower motor once, replaced 4 struts and shocks, and I've faithfully changed the oil every 9,000 miles. The ac compressor was permanently removed about 6 months ago. Now takes 56" serpentine belt. Numerous tires replaced and I take it w/dog to the park every day and we go fishing at least once a week. I think the danged car will outlive me tbh.
update?
@@lionheart93 218,908 miles. Still rock solid, trouble free, smooth and quiet engine. Same with the transmission. It really likes the hot weather we are having in the North East right now. I was going to baby it and just use it around town but I've changed my mind. I have a light weight aluminium motorcycle trailer and a light weight 400lb motorcycle. I'm planning on trailering the bike down to North Carolina for some nice riding sometime this summer.
Boy, Greg absolutely nailed my 2008: locking mechanism, struts, rubber trim, and sway bar. 238,000 and going strong.
Think a 2007 with 142,500 is still a good vehicle? Looking at one and this dealers cars go quick.
@@slugo915I just bought an 08 crv with 120m on it. I have owned it about 4 months.
I have the sticking locks that are loud when then lock and unlock. I also had to replace a slow leaking power steering hose. I was told by a lot of people that these are really reliable cars. I hope that’s true because I want this car to last for a good long while.
@pinkhouses8300 I just need a vehicle to get me to the store and doctors appointments. Won't be driving it alot as I'm disabled and on fixed income.
@@slugo915 yeah I bought this car for a get around car for short trips too.
From my research it looks like the 2005-2006 are the best reliable years for the CRVs. I owned a 2001 years ago and it was a great reliable car.
I’m hoping this car is the same 🤞
My 2011 CRV which has over 300,000 miles on it, has strut and trim issues as well. The back tires wear on the inside leading to cupping. I've tried to have it fixed but there is still a bit of an angle on them. Other than that, it's been an almost perfect car other than the driver window just stopped working. The engine sounds like it could reach 500,000 or much more.
Thank you for your precise and straight to the point review. Very well summarized. Looking forward to your reviews on other vehicles too.
I work at a mechanic workshop in Australia. Every single RD/RE CRV we service has developed oil leaks from the VVT spool valve. You can replace the seal but it will start leaking again eventually. Replace the whole valve assembly to start with is my advice and while you’re at it, do the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing seal.
Thank you for this video! My uncle is graciously giving me his 2014 LX AWD next month! It has 80,000 miles on it and he takes such meticulous care of his cars. I know I will get longevity out of it and I’m thrilled. I’ve always driven beaters that are 15+ years old. This will be the newest car I’ve ever owned.
thats awesome
Sadly you will probably be driving that 2014 LX forever if you take care of it. =) They are GREAT cars. You have an awesome uncle. Be sure to send him birthday cards every year!
Damn! Lucky! 🍀
That car is barely broken in! Lol
Great breakdown of generations watched it twice and I don’t even have a Honda
I have 320K miles on my 2003 CRV awd. ac still works great. Still get 27 mpg.
@PC Gaming Championship Group i used to drive a honda my father bought the year i was born and drove it through college....he bought it in 1972.....
@PC Gaming Championship Group apparently you have never owned a Honda, most of their cars are super reliable, I currently drive a Acura TL 2004 model with 273k miles and drives like a new car.. I had other Honda's with north of 300k miles also In the past.
My 1999 has 364k lol
my 11 gets 9.5 l per100 kms
Joe M I would get rav4 v6 nice engine I believe 280hp
One issue I didn't see brought up is the frequency of oil changes that the car needs to have. Been informed by lead Honda tech not to let it drop below 30% on oil percentage to keep a screen in the engine clean to avoid future issues with service life.
Wow, you are SPOT-ON describing all the issues with my 2007 Honda CRV. Thank you.
Have a 2002 CRV. A/C did implode resulting in a 1500.00 repair bill. Other than that and a leaky valve cover gasket, it has been a GREAT vehicle. Currently has 163k miles and is running STRONG!
Wow !! I'm about ready to replace my trusty 2006 model with 230000+ and so glad I read this first !
thats one of the good ones dont
Thanks for the insight gained. I have been faithful to crvs and the are to me. I used the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and now the 4th generation of it and the relationship has been awesome. No heartaches.
Definitely agree with struts and suspension issues, actuators, and the weatherization rubber. I had a used 2008. I owned it for 5 years.
Greg, this is the best video hands down telling it like it is. awesome and thank you!
I own a 2005 SE and have been quite happy with it. Getting close to 160,000 miles and still runs and looks great! I never knew about the a/c issue though.
We had a 2006 CRV and absolutely loved it. However, around 100k, we did have the AC go out like he mentioned. Then around 119k, we had a major electrical issue that no one, including the Honda dealership, could figure out and fix. We needed a minivan at that point anyway and ended up trading it in. I still love the CRV...just wish it hadn't had those problems.
I’m a 6’ 1” female and it’s amazing for tall ppl like he said easy sit down and stand up perfect for ppl with joint problems
What difference does it make that you are a female? Why not just say how tall you are?

Greg you are great. Information is a blessed thing to have if owning or contemplating purchasing a vehicle. All the best !
HK I pop hi in
I I’m ill on
Great video I have 2gen yes my AC compressor went and struts ...I still love the car
This is the best information I've ever rec'd! Thank you for your work.
Watching this is like going through a check-list of problems with my 2008.
heavypiano right? My 2007 too. I have had terrible luck with Hondas.
@@neils891 is that terrible luck? you dont know bad luck then, boy
Just get a 1997-2001 or 2002-2006 cuz both of them are literally indestructible
Lol same here on my 2008 😩
Thanks for a very thorough and very helpful overview.
Awesome video! Please keep updating us with new info on CRVs
Great video, and clear to the point presentation covering the span of model years. Thank you so much, much appreciated.
I've been looking for a car for 6 months. Your videos are really informative and I will surely heed the warnings. Thanx!
2004 CR-V here... no issues with the AC whatsoever. 15 years later the heat and air still work perfectly... along with everything else lol. 151k miles and rolling!
AC blew up on my 2004 at age 8 yrs.
All I have to say is..... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I have been looking for someone to explain cars like this for a very long time. Now not so hesitant to buy another used car. Just subscribed!
Thanks for educating me and so many out there,who don’t really know much about most of this cars
2010 with 165000 miles and drives like the day I drove it off the lot new. I replaced struts at 120,000 miles. Rubber window seals not a problem and we live in the desert. Yes, the locking mechanism is a problem. I had to replace door actuator. Great video. Really good reliable car.
Amazing guy and review. Just purchased a 2008 Honda CRV. Simple car as I drive it knowing the quality is high and easy for mechanics to work on.
We have 6 Hondas on our driveway. Among them we have a 2007 CRV and a 2014 CRV. Both have been reliable with regular maintenance and the odd problem easily repaired. These two generations are solid choices. However in 2015, things changed, and in my opinion not for the good. The introduction of the CVT transmission in 2015 was done to decrease the cost of manufacture, however the long term reliability of them is still in question. The other problem is with the direct injection introduced in 2015. This is a not problem initially, however over time, the intact valves become dirty and coated with carbon, causing the combustion process to get affected, resulting in decreased gas mileage, idling issues, reduced efficiency. The cost to clean the intake valves is expensive and complicated, and the emphasis is on complicated. Mechanics are not prefect, and when ever you require a complicated service, you open the door to mistakes being made (costly ones!). If Honda reverts back to port injection, this problem is solved. In Honda's newer turbo models, the issues of direct injection is amplified. If Honda did like Toyota and designed both port and direct injection on the same engine, lots of these issues would be resolved. It's a matter of cost and design. Till they fix this, I cannot recommend a Honda that has only a direct injection (turbo is not the problem) and I'm concerned with the CVT transmissions being not a good choice as well.
CVT/turbo was an idiotic move. The minute I found out about that change I crossed the new CR-V off my list.
@jshepard152 Almost all newer cars have cvt. Unless you have great credit, its hard to get a newer car without one for leas than 40-50k new
Great breakdown!! Was looking all over for a comparison between the manufacturing years. You did a great job, concise and informative. Thank you!!
Thank you so so much. There are great mechanics and there are bad mechanics and no one likes to hear the words "we cannot find anything wrong" or " we cannot duplicate the problem". No one likes to take a car to the shop that is not making a noise until after it returns from the shop. I would like to get a newer Honda CRV and your video is very valuable. A friend has a 2000 CRV 2WD with 180,000 miles. One mechanic will say it needs these, another will say something else. I thought it needed shocks/struts but the mechanic said those were ok but it needed motor mounts. The car did not have a severely bad ride and tire wear was normal. My friend replaced all three mounts and now the car sways and nose dives like a boat and it was not doing that before the mount repair. We got wheel alignment 2 wheels only (?) and tie rod ends and it is better but still 90% boat sway especially when hitting bumps. They now say it needs ball joints and upper control arms and the repair list will go on and on for deep pockets. Now they want to do the struts and shocks but I am not sure that will help. It drives like the frame has completely shifted on the car. Help! Help! Every mechanic says something different.
I bought my 2006 CR-V EX-L new, currently has 259K miles. The A/C issue you described happened to me at approximately 85K miles, yes, I had the dealer replace the entire A/C system at an approximate cost of $1,900.00. Dealer told me the issue was a lack of oil in the compressor and recommended having an oil charge added to A/C system every 100K miles, I never added a charge and haven’t suffered any new A/C system failures. Since I’ve reached 250K miles, I have to replace the alternator and water pump. This car has been the most trouble free and cost effective vehicle I’ve owned in the past 38 years.
Very helpful
Appreciate it
Regards from Spain
What a video, so well made and so much time and effort put into the research. Thank you so much
Great explanation overall but I’d like to expand on the 3rd generation door lock issues. I had an 08 LX and around 110k miles, the rear passenger door lock actuator failed, leaving it stuck between lock/unlock and couldn’t be adjusted manually. That triggered an auto-lock for all 5 doors, and left it either unresponsive to the remote or would unlock and immediately re-lock. Key entry was difficult because 1) only the driver door was equipped and 2) the auto-lock was always engaged making it difficult to turn the key to unlock, and often didn’t work at all. Plus, the remote key fob isn’t designed for that and would easily break. I had two babies in car seats making this situation incredibly dangerous. I had to roll all the windows down before exiting just to make sure I could get my kids out. My choices were to get it fixed ($2000+) or disable the locks by removing the door panel and unplugging the locks, making it impossible to secure my vehicle which is what I did. The rear lift gate wouldn’t unlock at all. Honda was no help at all, probably because it was a widespread problem and should have been subject to a recall. I even contacted CPSC about it. It was 10k past the warranty window. So... if you’re test driving a 3rd generation CR-V, make sure to put those locks to work or be handy enough to know how to replace them.
Suzan, GREAT explanation of how far reaching the door lock situation could be! You couldn't have covered that issue any better if you were a mechanic.
and is there a solution for this??
@@paulalvinflemming5018 yeah a replacement door lock assembly is around $200 and if you have basic tools, the internet, and patience you can do it
I hit that sub button..smart man..great perspective on car facts😉.
Excellent information, right now I am looking to get a 3rd gen and really got key information in this video, thanks Greg
Lo B thank you for your comment. I’m looking to buy an 08 for my mail route, just test drove yesterday, the first thing I checked was the VIN bc of your comment, lol!
Super video thanks Greg! I'm shopping for a CRV for my wife and this was very helpful.
I own a 2011 CRV and I had to replace all of the stuff he mentioned in this video 😳 pretty good discovering the problems!
Thank you for your time and knowledge
100% bang on analysis. I bought a 2013 Honda CRV about a month and a half ago. 3rd time back at the dealership to deal with the locking mechanism issues.
Brother your videos are really commonsensical and helpful. I hope you continue posting more vids. I think they reflect how knowledgeable u r when it comes to vehicles. Thank you
Thanks Greg! We own a 2008 and 2009 Honda CR-V. Just replaced the struts in the 2008, so you are right on!
Also sanded and painted the door trim panels on the 2009. Thanks so much for the info!
no ac issues?
Hey Gregg great job! I have a 2015 Touring model with Honda Sensing so must of been first year of that it’s awesome can drive by itself practically for a few seconds!
I have a 99 CRV and I have no mejor issues and 210,000 miles! What an honest reviewer!
Manu-Camus I just sold my 2000 CRV with 297k miles. Original motor but different auto trans. Upgraded to a 2006 CRV SE and I love it
mejor issues ajajajjajajjajajajjajajjajjja
Fabulous video... Thank you! Just purchased a 2011 EX quite blindly and you’ve given me some comfort :)
My 2007 3rd generation indeed suffers from the lock problem and weak sway bars. Good to know it wasn't user error.
You nailed the issues on the third generation CRV. I have a 2010. The door locks go click click, click click. I've spent $720 fixing them...and they still do it. I'm the original owner and the problem showed up at about 90,000. I replaced the struts - thanks for the tip on the other suspension issue. I'll have a look at that. Despite all this, this is the best car I have owned as far as quality goes. It has 150,000 miles on it and it has no squeaks, no rattles, everything still works and it rides as smooth as the day I took it off the lot. One more thing. You are right about being tall and owning this car. I am 6'3" and even on long drives the car is comfortable. Thanks for the video.
So far Good advice taken inspection will be sought for all conditions as of now every car fax shows good maintenance and looks great for my needs 😀 👍
I know this post is 3 years old. My CRV just started doing this. Did you ever find a solution?
Thanks !!
Wow 720$ to fix this 😮😮😮
Iam on my way to buy 2008 but this comment and this video stopped me warn me not to go for this too much to fix car lock?
@@kimbrewsaugh6216 You can turn off the auto-locking feature. it's detailed in the owner's manual. If they are already broken, you'll need to get them replaced, but you can reduce further damage by turning the auto-lock feature off. Sorry, I know I'm late to the party.
A very Good Presentation with details. Thanks a lot.
Good video Greg. Thank you. I have a 2007 CRV and as you mention, the door locks are a big problem (is there a way to just make the door locks manual? - perhaps taking out the door lock fuse?). Removing and re-installing a starter is also pretty challenging.
A great retrospection,I like that.
Thank you for informing and protecting us all!
Bought my daughter a 2003 with 95k in 2009 for college,she always had the defrost on and of course smoked the a/c after 4yrs but never had an issue and now I drive it 2020 with 170k (still no a/c) as my haul stuff get to work vehicle and love it!
Wow. Great analysis on the CRV.
Have a 2007 and know all the quirks you mentioned
This Video was OUTSTANDING and *Thank You*
Thank you! I am actually looking to buy a CRV, so this is a great information to have, thanks!
Did you get one?? I'm looking now
Just bought one top of the line a Touring fully loaded. Not sure why they are so scarce. Can’t find them in the dealerships it’s like looking for a pin in a haystack. Car drives fine, it’s safe and secure. No need to use the key to open and even lock to prevent breaking in. So far so good.
I have a 2011 and replaced the sway bar link in 2018. I have not had to replace the struts. I totally agree with the loudness inside and also the vertical molding between the windows and I'm on the East Coast. Overall, I've loved it since I bought it new although the 4 cylinder engine irritates me at times. 110k miles so far.
Own a 2010 CR-V with 185k miles. Replaced the same part six months ago
@@Idahoguy10157
My mom
@Lo B When the links go, the steering gets loose, especially going through sharp curves. The cost for this is about $320. I have owned a 2002 ($160K miles), and I currently own a 2011 ($130K miles). Overall, good service.
Thank you so much for this video. My in laws love the crv but I was afraid to buy as the issues listed above. At least now I know the generations and what to look out for
Great video! Thanks. I have an ‘06 Honda AU. I’ve done two air compressors, two separate TPS sensors, starter motor, electric window motors but overall 10years and 250,000klms it’s been good to me! Looking at an “13 upgrade now.
So helpful! Thank you!
I’m gonna look at a 2nd generation today and the one I want had the AC replaced last year. So I’ll make sure to get info about that.
Our 2003 has 110K kms (65K miles?) and the AC is weak. I had it refilled and was much better. Too much work and expense to make it like new again. Otherwise nothing at all had to be repaired.
Great video. Thank you for the detailed breakdown.
Qa
Fantastic job, really glad to find you!
Excellent review; Crisp, concise, and to the point
My 2016 model has been a pleasure to own and drive. I have never felt the vibration coming through the seat as described. It has 50,000 miles. The only service it has had are tire rotations and oil changes. I'm 85 and this is the best car I've had.
Wait until over 120,000 if you make itm cvt transmissions wear out before 200k. Ive never seen one make it passed. But if you dont drive a lot, its great.
You really nailed the issues with the 3rd gen CR-V.
Excellent info as always !! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much. I always enjoy your videos. Tons of practical information.
I own two second gen (2004,2006). Both have 200k miles. Replaced the ac in the 2006 myself for about $500 vs stealer price of $2500. The 2004 is all original. Both are AWD and do very well on snowy/icy roads. I'm 6'3" and I like this gen because I feel it has the best ergonomics and they are relatively easy to work on.
Yeah! It's good for a 6ft person
I have just bought 2008 executive navi plus, amazing and very quality suv. Recommend
Great video,so well spoken and knowledgeable.Thanks,keep up the great work.
Have wanted to purchase a 2013-2014 LE-X and this has been extremely helpful. Just wish we could have channels like yours in our region - Southern Africa. Previously owned a 2005 X Trail 2.2L diesel that I bought second hand. Worked well for a year then had to replace parts which cost more than the car itself.
This was very helpful. Thanks🖒
Greg - We just bought a 2016 CR-V EX-L with only 27,000 miles on it today. We got a reasonable price and a 60mo/100,000 mi warranty from a reputable national dealer. Thanks for making such thorough information available. We had three options, a 2015, the 2016 we bought, and a 2017 with the turbo. Based on this video, we didn’t even have to seriously consider the other two cars. You really are our car angel!
I just got the same at 40000 miles. Have you have any issues?
@@Livewild779 - no issues at all. So far, it’s been a great little car.
Thank you for your clear and detailed presentation.
THANK YOU! You ARE AN ANGEL. Purchased a USED 2008 CRV in Oct. 2017. You nailed the Door Auto- Lock - Actuator Psycho Locking problem-Locked myself out 2x (bought a dummy key from locksmith $5.). Luckily when I searched online, a Class-Action Suit FORCED Honda to fix this-Value $300-400-did this March 2018-Thank God!!! Also you nailed the Strut EARLY wear out - Front replaced in March 2019, rear is leaking and will do in 2020 April lw. Had a Rt. Front axle wear out, replaced in 2018 and again same one in 2019 (now beginning to HATE HONDA- formerly had a 1989 Civic 113K miles great car). You nailed the window black weather stripping deteriorating. Wiper water pump went out 2019! Mileage now 146,650 LOUD ROAD NOISE!!!! I pray my next car is a TOYOTA!
I have a 2007 crv ex 120k miles, bought it new, LOVE IT. I did have a problem with rear passenger door actuator. Struts just got replaced also tie bar replaced. Runs great very peppy and tight steering. Not loud. Thanks for a great video
Mine too,what is the cost of real passenger actuator replacement
The problem of gasoline intruding into the engine oil apparently is ONLY evident on the U.S.A. made engines. (Weak ring/seals on the pistons due to improper tolerances)
The engines built in Japan do not have this problem, so check the manufacturer's sticker on the door frame. If the motor was built in Japan...no problem. If the motor was built in the U.S.A....do more research before buying.
Let the buyer beware.

Excellent video and channel. Practical and actually useful information. Thank you!
Thank you soo much for your review. Great review
Had my 2006 2.2 CRV for 12 years. In that time it’s covered 245,000 miles and other than the usual consumables (tyres, wiper blades etc ) I’ve had 1 Alternator and 1clutch. Best car I’ve ever owned.
Hey same here 2006 CRV EX with 327,000 miles and going strong!
This is an amazing and informative video. Could you do a similar one for the Toyota Sienna? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this. It was highly informative!
Really fantastic video ... and really appreciate your time to make it with all the useful information. Thank you Sir.
I have a 2008 CRV with 158,000 miles on it.. Runs great. What he said about the locks is spot on. They go months without any issues, then just lock and unlock at random times and low speeds
I’m having the lock issues on my 2008 now sigh.
Thank you SO MUCH for this information!
GREAT JOB!!! Direct and simple.. I dig it....
I bought a used 2003 Honda CRV a couple of years ago. I loved that vehicle but spent A LOT of money on it in repairs in the 6 years I owned it. All of the repairs were in the $1,000+ range, including a new a/c system! it had 139,000 miles on it when I bought it. I just traded it in for a 2011 Honda CRV. I wish they still had the sportier design, but I still love it. I will keep an eye on everything you mentioned. I had my mechanic check it out before I purchased it and the struts were leaking and the dealer fixed them. Thank you!
