Import_Dealer is on a distinguished road
Well as far as the costs involved in the Abs you don't have much to worry about. the whole reason behind putting all that stuff standard in Hondas was that we as a company have the largest indoor crash test facility on the planet, build all our cars to take impacts with vehicles of different sizes and frankly dont feel that the average driver should have to put their own safety at risk because they cant or dont want to buy the EX model etc. So regardless of budget Honda wants you to be safe and it feels pretty good to get something standard that others have to pay hundreds or thousands more for on a competitive brand. I know I'm a little biased because I work for Honda but the cost of the cars tend to go up maybe 1 percent year after year but the content they add is ussually worth thousands more retail. So long story short when Honda adds something to a car we like to lose a little profit and have a customer live long enough to buy another honda.
