General comments?
Other than all that the car has never let me down. Never been on a tow truck always made it to get fixed. Dealers Never can find anything wrong, or has never gone by there warranty. Car never had regular maintenance, oil changes every 10,000kms. Car has been all over Canada and the USA. Know has been put has company van 100,000kms ago. Paint is in good shape, starting to rust. Been so happy we have gone out and bought a 2005 venture.
