"Things that go wrong with tweleve year old cars." It's very common for people to think some cosmic force is arrayed against them, but it's just not true. I'm a dealer specializing in imported cars under $5K and so at any given time I have as many as ten or twelve cars with 100K plus that I'm sorting out. I deal with this kind of thing daily and the facts are that any car you can name of this vintage (including Hondas, Toyatas, and Subarus)has simular sorts of problems. Your water pump, starter, and alternator could go out one at a time over three years or they could all go out in the same month. But there's nothing personal about it--it's simply the cost of driving mechanical device that can break. Compared to a new econobox at $300 a month (or $3600 a year) it's still the cheap way out.
