Fuel line - Try getting parts fast.
Power steering hose - $200!
Ball joints, drive axles - SQUEAK!
Factory alarm - Tore it out to lighten the load.
Power antennae - Replaced 3 times before me and is still broke.
Car is great when it runs. When it breaks, try getting parts in any reasonable amount of time.
My 88 4 door auto @ 115k is remarkable for the money... but you are right about access to parts. I have a local dealer who does prompt, suave, and very expensive work. Is there a chatroom about places to get Acura parts, new or used, except from dealers?
