It seems that the 1999-2001 cars last longer than the newer ones . Still @ ten years , you have a car that can rack up so much in repairs ....you know the rest of the story ....it is impossible to build a "new" one out of an "old" one .
Suspension work is like Orthodontics for your car .Costly to say the least ! Delicate attention to replacing only the "worn out" parts seldom happens these days . Saftey is the main concern .
I do 95% of my own wrenching , and couldn't even think of the cost of a shop..although alignment and exhaust are the one's I have to hire out .
To make it even worse , the Roads of Pennsylvania , tough going ..ouch .
Some cars are worth letting go ...and then some fool like myself will bear the pain of the repairs . Did I say "ouch" ? ..Good Luck !
