Update on the 2000 SE wagon . 220k miles , recently rear ended and pretty ugly . Runs fine , yet to keep going. I need to do a boatload of routine stuff that will cost more than the car is worth .
Some folks have said it should have been junked long ago , but the car is what I have , so here I go doing what needs to be done . [Just replaced a tie rod end and suspension link and front pads ]
Now the.... Alternator,water pump,timing belt & rollers,fuel pump ,rear suspension ,alignment ,ignition switch ,thermostat,filters, etc .Snow Tires and a new "Winter Survival Kit" .Just keeping it safe .
I turn my own wrenches and source my parts , except for tire work and alignment.Budget about $2500 , no problem .
For less than one tenth of the price of a new car {sub@ru/ki@} I seem to be buying the winter rat another season ! The fuel mileage average still is about 24.9 . Run the Beast in the Snow Another Season !!....hope the heater keeps heatin' . It would be sad if the car ends up in the scrapyard due to heater box failure , I can't fix that ..the weakest link ....
