Today was another fun day, I installed a new alternator before heading off to work thankfully it was still under warranty so I didn't have to pony up the cash.
I've been inching closer and closer to 200k miles on the odometer, and it seems like my car is trying to bankrupt me to get there. 2,000 Miles to Go,. Repairs in the last 5,000 miles New Radiator New Steering Knuckle New Brakes (pads/rotors all 4) New Timing Belt New Water Pump, Tensioners, Timing Belt Still Needed: New Tires New Tie Rod End New Ball Joint New Clutch Plate How many of you are approaching 200k miles or 321,869 km? Obviously the repairs I'm doing now are the maintenance items I've neglected the past 50k miles, but hay, that happens. Did you experience the same flood of repairs? |

I've been lucky, other than the parts I listed above that I need to replace, I've now gone beyond the 200k mark, I think I'm at 202k now. It's looking like the tie-rod ends, ball joint and an oil change slated for this weekend.
