ok so some one is tring to sel me a car and he says it needs a mastercylinder and that the part is like 40 or 60 bucks and that the car isnt drivable to i replace that. so i first i was wondering is it even worth paying 1500 for a lude with 100.000 miles and then i was wondering if this is a bad thing to go out. like i know if your timing belt breaks then your skrewed is it the same for the master cylinder? like he says that i need a mc for the clutch? what do you guys think?

Is it the Brake Master Cylinder, or the Clutch Master Cylinder??? Or the Clutch Slave Cylinder? I've replaced all three on my Teg/Accord, not that hard to do if you are mechanically inclined. I've been a mechanic for 12 years though, so I found it easy. Even for a novice it's not that big of a job.

it depends if it runs strong. what year is it? also what model and trim level....try to run Kelly Blue Book to find out if you are geting a good price....maybe he can go down on the price since the car needs parts to get fixed.

i dont know nothing realy about the car. but today ill try to go and check to see if it worth it. cuz i dont have a car anymore because my dad gotta go to school soo yea and so i need anther accord or anther car. and i dont have the money so he said that he will let me pay monthly. i dont think he will let go down on the price though cuz he is letting me pay monthly.
does anyone one know worst case sceniero what this can cause me? if it is any of the master cylender
PS sorry about all the spelling mistakes.
