I'm just saying if you are handy for small things and use knowledgeable independent shops, they actually aren't that bad. My car has been out of warranty for over 5 years, I've driven it over 50k miles and haven't spent close to $3900 and that include me doing rob bearings, both TAs and other small misc stuff.

Yeah man.. I understand.. In my case, and being in the auto industry, I have many resources when it comes to fixing my car. The reason I use the dealer is because I get a loaner car and it's warrantee. But that said. I don't think I have the time to do any DIY stuff these days. Nor do I have the desire to do any. I guess spending 20 years as a tech kinda burned me out.
I don't consider driving 50K in 5 years any serious mileage. I will put on 30,000 in a year. Its no wonder not much has gone wrong with your car.
