Honda CRV [continued]

[k_leos]

Say.. if you will replace every part of say the CRV 2004 with brand new parts.. would the total be equal to the cost of a brand new one (like 1.3 Million)...
Or which components of a car is the most expensive to the least in decreasing order? any web site that talks about this or list the components?


I want to estimate how much more I have to spend to maintain it. The CRV 2004 now just costs 220,000 pesos in 2nd hand market. I'd like to know what components can still break down in years ahead because if the repair costs total say 400,000.. parang not worth it. So I need to decide based of analysis of the component data. Thanks.

the most expensive parts would probably be the borloloy parts.
engine and suspension parts are a'plenty, because they are wear-and-tear items. their manufacture goes on long after the model is discontinued.
but the glass.. the beauty trim.. the plastics.. them's more difficult to source and, to me, outrageously priced. that is, if one can find them at all.

a car aficionado and restorer, said,
"even if one restores the old car to its brand-new, factory condition, it will still drive like... an old car!"
the old car was designed and built around the technology of the time. it would be very expensive to modify the old car, to equal today's technological level. buying a brand new car, would probably be easier, cheaper, and more reliable.

so how much will it cost? i dunno. i'll find out, when i go out looking for the parts. there is simply too many of them, to list down.
para po yang na-uspital.
you'll find out how much you will pay, only when you check out.

can you make good money from selling an honest full restoration on a common car? i do not know. probably, but not enough profit for the labor involved.
