A/C @ 33000 miles.
Heater/AC blower @ 20000 miles.
Power antenna @ 59000 miles.

Brakes @ 63000 miles (normal).
Tires @ 40000 miles (a little too soon).
General comments?
The dealer told me any 8 year old car with 62000 miles will have a head gasket blow.
He must have never owned anything but a Ford!
I call this car my Dis-sable...
One word: Junk.
