Another one biting the dust of self repair! WARNING!!! It can be a disease! But is probably better than gambling, booze or golf. And you can save thousands, maybe even tens of thousands over the life of a car. I'm guessing you just saved a couple hundred.
Brakes are especially satisfying. They are so fundamental, essential, dangerous and simple. Thing I like is not having to do it again for a very long time.
So, have you started bleeding brakes yet? I'm assuming the 9-5 still uses Dot-4 which requires bleeding every couple of years. Save $70/bleed by buying a $50 power bleeder.
Then there is the radiator flush, oil change, filter changes, plugs. Next thing you know you are replacing the fuel pump and exhaust. If you get bit hard, you will be replacing the suspension systems, head gasket and motor mounts. Then you will know your car so well you won't want to sell it when it's time has come. But then end of life will be much longer and less determinate, and the decision harder.
Disease.....
