    '98 Honda Accord EX timing belt. Repair? Sell?
    My car is a 1998 Accord EX with 201k mi. I have lived in extreme climates (Minnesota, Las Vegas) and honestly, not sure I took very good care of my car for the 4 years I've had it. Catalytic Converter, filters replaced. Regular oil changes. But now, it needs front/rear axle, all breaks, water pump and timing belt replaced ($1800 approx cost, when KBB fair value is $2100) I normally make two 1500 mi trips a yr and other than that, just the daily 10 mi commute. I live at 8500 ft so its hard for my car to shift though I don't think there are transmission issues. Any advice? Worth the repair?

    If you were inclined to do the labor yourself, the parts are not too expensive. We've seen many Hondas on this site go well over 400,000 miles. I would repair and keep the car, even if you didn't do the work yourself.
