Kelley Blue Book says Trump’s tariffs could raise the U.S. price of the average new car – already approaching $49,000 – by $3,000 or more. The price of some full-size pickup trucks could shoot up by $10,000.
Now that depends very heavily on the car. An 07 Honda? Mechanically you’re probably right. If it’s rusting, I’ll have to disagree with you though. Japanese cars do have a tendency to rust more than their western counterparts (at least applies to a lot of the ones made in the 90s and 00s).
I’ve seen some mid-00s Audis’ powertrain issues make grown men cry, metaphorically speaking.
I’d still be driving the 98 Honda if someone didn’t steal the catalytic converter, in an extremely destructive manner while the car was uninsured in the driveway
civic hatchback. that thing had some unreal mileage on it and would have kept going but I was told it would need more than just the catalytic because of the way it was cut out. I still have an 83 civic wagon in storage too but I don’t have time or money to get it running again and just bike for most things these days.
Well there goes my chance to buy the new Honda prelude. 😭
Economy is taking, stocks are tanking, jobs are tanking. 😭
Fml… imma keep riding on my 07 Honda forever 😊
The smartest thing a car owner can do is keep a single car running forever.

What model? Asking because 98 was an awesome year for Honda.
