So my girlfriend has an '03 Accord, she bought it 2 years before we met. She got it with 94k on the clock, then as is the case with just about every Honda with a v6 and an automatic, she had the transmission rebuilt at about 105k, she spent $3g on that. She drives A LOT, and the car now has 205k. It has some minor problems, but is a good car and gets great MPG for as much power as it has. The transmission is starting to show signs that its going to need another rebuild soon (pump is whining). I figure I can get the trans rebuilt again for a lot less than what she paid the first time. Thing is, I'm not sure what I should do. Should I just get the trans rebuilt when it goes out? Should I off it when the trans goes out again? Should we off it now? She doesn't exactly have the funds to buy another car right now, and I can't exactly afford another payment on top of my truck. This would be a much easier decision if the car didn't have 205k, although being a Honda I know its good for at least another 100 with regular maintenance. Opinions?
