I'm at 95k miles on 2016 HRV. Stellar right? However, this model has had quite a few trans failures at 100k. And I'm already getting symptoms it's about to go (gears slipping, wild revving, pounding etc)
I had my eyes on either the 22 Passport or Pilot, but then again...if I'm going to a Honda dealership they're straight off the bat going to know how common the trans issue is, whereas if I go Ford, or Nissan I might get a more favorable valuation. Does it really matter?
2nd question is, when trading in most people go for a car that is 1.5 or at most double the value of their current car. Since what I'm looking at is Triple to Quadruple, how sizeable is my down payment gonna have to be? The HRV is fully paid off btw.
Also, would having a co-signer make a difference if their FICO is mid500s? I'm low 600 myself.
