and its always honda's people ask me about....although I've never owned one...or driven one as a primary car. strange.

Anyways, I have a friend who got an offer for a 2007 honda element sc (top end model apparantly) 5 speed manual transmission, 13k km on it, selling for $26,900 with two years warranty remaining.

With the new cars (i've never done newer cars come on!) with warrenty remaining, is it worth taking it in for an inspection?

(my gut still says yes in case of damage that you cant see that might not be covered under warrenty...ie frame damage)

yes, may the gods smite me down for not speaking volvos. I tried. lol.

we recommend our customers get inspections on ANY used car, no matter how new or how low the mileage.

Damage/abuse/accidents can happen right from day one. ~$100 is nothing compared to a $27,000 pain in the ass if something is wrong.

Not that most inspections will actually check the frame, but most will give you some idea if there's been any accident or repair if you specify for them to check that. A Carproof report is also worth the money.

Athal, I'm gonna bug you some more!!!!

Now we need a mechanic for her that's reasonable and good. AU SECOUIRS! or however you spell HELP in french! lol

You're close, it's"Au secours!" or "À l'aide!"

Ok, it doesn't help you, but you'll go to bed with a bit more knowledge!

ah there was a point once where i could speak french at the level of a grade 2 or somesuch...(my grammar was horrible...damned irregular verbs screwed me for life lol)

I dont know if I ever could spell it though...

I'll give you some lessons!

Ooooh, Steph is offering to lay a little of the French tongue on Kat.

lol well, volvo guys as a general rule are better than non volvo guys...personality wise...i can't say in other areas

I think I'll just shut up!
