We found what we thought would be the perfect vehicle for her a 2000 Honda crv with only 37,500 miles on it. After looking at the vehicle we decided to purchase it due to its great condition and lack of use. The check engine light was on when we looked at it. But the people we dealt with locally stated it was probably due to lack of driving and would need only a tune up. We picked the vehicle up on Friday 8-20. I tuned up the crv with new platinum plugs, new rotor, distributor cap, and plug wires. The truck ran a little better but still had the check engine light on. I decided to bring it to a Honda dealer and have them look at it first thing Monday 8-23. They stated it may be a valve adjustment. The dealer's service department called me and stated that the problems were much larger. A rocker arm had broken off and was floating in the engine and had done damage to valves etc. The crv would need a top end rebuild with head etc at a cost of $4400. We paid only $4500 for the vehicle.
