    Written by: chuck1 on Apr 1, 2012 3:43:24 PM

    I have two cars. Both of which I bought new. The first one is a 2007 Honda Accord EX-L 4 cylinder. It's been pretty much flawless. The first "repair" was a bad central airbag controller. The repair was $600.00 and I called American Honda and they and the dealer knocked off about 35% off the repair. Talk about trying to build loyalty. This with a car that had 99,000 miles on ...
