Here's our newest edition, "Squeaky" as named by my daughter. We've had her since the spring, 58,000km or almost 35,000 miles. She wasn't driven much over the past 7yrs plus so she is need of some "routine maintenance".
So far, Ball joint replaced, new muffler, repaired A/C - New Compressor, replaced O2 Sensor, new front brakes, new winter tires. Next week it's a new timing belt, water pump, "metal" Thermostat Housing, Front Struts, new battery, LED headlights, taillights, Fog Lights and some rust proofing - there's not a mark on her and I want to keep it that way.
My daughters going to be the main driver and I wanted to do as much "preventative" maintenance as I can up front as she's going to be driving a fair distance during the evening hours as well.
We got it for a fairly good price and considering the mileage and possible life left in it and who's going to be driving it, the cost for a little piece of mind is worth it.
Can anyone suggest anything else or is this a pretty good start?
