Hi folks!

I have 1989 Honda Accord LX. I bought it at 85 thousand miles, now it has
180 thousand miles on it. I never had any problems with it. I never had to
take it to a mechanic other than oil and break pad change.

Since it is 1989 Honda Accord, I don't expect it to speed up like a brand
new car when I push the gas, but it takes forever for this car to speed up.
Once the speed reaches 50 miles an hour, it speeds up and runs perfect. I
took the car to a mechanic and he said the transmission was in pretty bad
shape. I just bought 4 set of tires. I have a cd player with nice speakers
worth $700. Also, I got the best navigation system installed (Alpine GPS)
and paid $1700. Getting the transmission fixed will cost about 12 hundred
dollars. Considering the mileage the car has, do you think it is worth
getting the transmission fixed? How many miles can you put on a well
maintained Honda?

Thanks
