I'm planning on keeping the vehicle until it rusts out (I hope it doesn't) but I had a question of roughly how much the big components would cost. For example, a new engine, trans, etc. Not that I'm trying to get my motor blown or my CVT, but I'm trying to see if it would be worth to replace any of those components whenever they give out from normal use. Granted I'm tuned, and I'm at 154k miles (just hit it this weekend), so those things may happen sooner, but I want to know how much it would be to keep the civic alive or would it be "cheaper" or more convenient to get a new vehicle. Not looking for a set number but a ballpark.
It feels nice to finally pay off the vehicle so I'd rather not burden myself with a new payment, and I'd like to postpone an upgrade for as long as possible.
I've gone through the forum and seen most people just swap out their vehicle rather than try and repair it in most cases whenever the CVT starts slipping or motor gets blown out, so I'd like to know reasonings as to why people end up trading in/selling their vehicles.
