I did not have any problems until 2002.
My alternator went out at 137,000 miles.
The timing chain had to replaced last November at 155,000 miles.
I replaced brake pads and ball joints this past summer.
My rear struts are going bad now.
Overall, the car has been very reliable.
I think I've had average problems for a car 13 years old.
I bought the car from a mechanic, and I
have a great family friend who works on the car now.
I have not had to put a great deal of money into this car.
The interior of the car is in great shape!
There are some rust spots on the exterior(it snows every winter).
I plan on getting the car repainted soon.
My rear struts seem to be going out also. Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch.
