Over two years (123,000 to 147,000 miles):

#1 ignition coil ($70)
Left front brake caliper ($65)
Top engine mount ($45)
Heater core ($75)
Oil cap gasket ring (free)
Several dash lights ($10)

Basically a pretty trouble-free car as far as I am concerned. After all, it is 11 years old with 147,000 miles. I do know the previous owner did a lot more to it and was happy to see it go.

Just look at this! funny thing is, it NEVER ran hot. I made the decision to replace because it took forever to warm up and got cold going downhill.

How come engine isn't on the list? Or alternator, radiator, rad lines? I've had those go as well.
