"I Bought for Reliability"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Cruise control disabled, along with key-less entry system at around 70K miles. I thought it was electrical... dealer doesn't know why -- I haven't fixed yet.

The factory BOSE CD Player failed after only three years. I'm glad I replaced it with a Sony 10-disk CD Player in the trunk for $300.

Water pump rotor cracked while driving at 100K miles. Replaced with timing chain for about $800.

Auto transmission starting to "slip" now (won't engage overdrive between 45 - 55 mph unless downhill) ; may need to replace electric solenoid - anyone have estimate?

General comments?

Comfortable, fast, and reliable.

Relatively low cost to maintain.

Leaving the reading lights on, won't drain the battery.

Got the rear windows tinted for $250.

I replaced my solenoid in a shop for 200, they got it from a dealer for 90. but I have seen the same part on-line for up to 150, so you may have to look a little bit for one.
