General comments?
Keep in mind that when I replaced these parts they were all original. And expected to go out with so many miles on them. I replaced them all myself except the muffler and the catalytic converter.
Overall the cost for everything was around $300.00 and not everything went out at once. The window regulators however cost a fortune at the dealer, but I fixed the problem with a little modification to them, after finding out the parts from the dealer. I can tell you how at bruce85203@earthlink.net
Overall it has been a great car, very reliable.
