look i don't know about you but here what i will say keep it because you only got 6 more month to pay and if you can't wait until 6 more month. try borrow a car from a friend and keep saving your money and after six month you will have a lot of money lying around and you can than fix. Honda is a great car and it will last you longer than the Mazda Tribute and if you trade it in you, you won't get as much value for it because the dealer are going to have to charge you to repair it so fix it and if you are tired of driving a CIVIC than sell it and buy the Tribute. so have your mechanic look at it and than go to eBay.com for cheaper new or use parts. trust me you will spend may be up to $500 on the parts and may be $300 for the mechanic to do the install so good luck.
