Pretty close to 94,000km, I think that's just under 60,000 miles.

Not especially. I was very fortunate to have my father's many years experience and plentiful tools, and another mechanically inclined friend with me.

I even had the weather on my side, wasn't too hot or humid and the bugs weren't out. In total I still spent about $230 of parts, but I'm sure I saved at least $500-600 compared to taking the car to the dealership for all of that.
