Coming up on 130K now... This year the car has definitely nickel and dimed me on repairs. I did the following -
1. Throttle actuators around 120k (forget if I mentioned that before)
2. Valve cover gaskets, plug well seals, all new hardware, and plugs at 121k
3. Fuel pressure vent at 120k
4. Fuel transfer pump at 123k
5. Front brake pads at 125k
6. Currently replacing driveshaft due to a seized CV joint, seized Ujoint, and noisy center bearing at 130k. Can't believe both were seized.
7. Might as well change the trans mounts as well as diff and trans fluid again at 130k while I'm there (2nd time on fluids since I've owned it since 70k)
8. Belts, idler pulleys, power steering pump pulley, and upper radiator hose at 128k.
Probably $3k-$3500 this year on parts alone. Obviously cheaper than a car payment, however, not expecting that for sure. I'm figuring motor mounts and suspension will probably be next on the list. I'm shooting for 200k before I sell it.
