Rep Power: 0 Hybrid - To fix or not?
I have a 2004 Honda Civic hybrid with 210K miles. replaced battery in 2014 and always done general maint. Always been a great car but it recently failed inspection due to code 2000. Both dealer and trusted local mechanic say I need to replace oxygen sensor and cat converter. $3100 mostly for parts. I really don't want to buy a new car but not sure I should fix it either. Of course people are reminding me that other big ticket items could go next. Money is not really the issue. Either way I'm shelling out about $3K for fix or down payment on new but with new then I have car payments. anyway, looking for thoughts on what else could go next. have to make decision by end of Oct 2018 (inspection due).
thanks!
thanks!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: Hybrid - To fix or not?
Code p2000.....There is a bulletin describing replacing the secondary O2 sensor pair (I assume yours has a pair of secondary sensors?) along with a software update. The dealer should have checked on that.
However, if the car has already received the software update and sensors, then the cat may need replaced. (regardless, at 200k+ it would not surprise me if it does need replaced)
Has it had the CVT transmission replaced yet?
