Yesterday my "check engine light" went on so I took it to the Honda Dealer in Newton, N.J. They tell me that I need a new CAT and the price of the part is $900. I currently have 89,500 miles on the vehicle so no warranty will cover it.
My car has had regular service without fail and it even got the computer software update. As I plan on driving this car at least another two years (I still have two years worth of payments to go) am I looking at another CAT replacment at 175,000 miles? The service manager told me he is going to "talk to his rep" when he sees him next week.

F.Y.I. I get between 45 and 50 MPG and am extremely happy with the car other than this CAT "problem".
