my car isnt worth fixing

[timaishu 10+ year member]

is what my mechanic told me. I brought it in cause of the check engine light and the fact I was low on ****** fluid. He said that it turns out that several cylinders are misfiring and I have a ****** and engine leak and the heads need to be completely redone or something along the lines of that. And I will also need to have my exhaust system worked on evetually to pass smog because last year one or several of my catalytic converters blew out.

It runs atleast. But I guess I need to go used car hunting. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

Im no good when it comes to engine or car work in general. I trust my mechanic fully. Everyone in my family has been going to him for years and he's a great guy. If he says its not worth it, I have to believe him.

this thread = fail

from your first post, you are talking about less than $300 for exhaust, less than $200 in gaskets to fix the leaks and less than $100 to fix the miss-fire.

The problem with that is you will be working on it. I owned a 92 Civic and I spent more trying to keep that POS on the road for 2 years than I have spent on my truck in 17 years. It even had less mileage than my truck.

I never got the exhaust issue fixed. Its ***** my fuel economy. Atleast it contributed after it blew out. I get abhout 310 miles to a tank. Tank is 16 gallons.
