and let me know the condition of the belt, is he bluffing ???

Got my Honda Civic 2002 LX (Canadian Model)last Friday.
I think it's a great car.
The only qualm I have about it is the cabin noise level on the

from just under half way to sometimes 3/4 while I am driving.  It goes up
for a few minutes then goes back down again.  This cycle continues
throughout the driving and usually starts about 20 minutes into ...

my 91 accord has the same problem that seems to be prevalent on all Honda's
of this era: rusted rear fenders.   Is there any cheap and fast method to
