yeah the dealership is trying to rape you. sometimes all it needs is to be cleaned. its not to hard of a job either. just get a chiltons or something.

If you know any mechanics have them go to honda for you and get the part wholesale. $450 is your cost, You can at least cut that in half with a wholesale price from a mechanic or anyone with a wholesale account thru honda.
