No need to worry. I had a real Swedish mechanic look at it before we left! :)
While a car at that age and mileage still has several nagging cosmetic and minor mechanical issues, you addressed the major mechanical ones that were needed prior to a lengthy trip. And new tires were absolutely essential as I-70 in Colorado would have shredded the old ones.
My concerns at this point? The original clutch now has almost 158K on it but it performed well with no near-term potential issues noted. [Famous last words, right?]. The passenger side mirror shakes — need to pop it off and re-glue it. And the rear liftgate shocks aren’t what they used to be.
The car either comes back to CA or goes to VA with my son for college after August. I’ll let you know if anything pops up.
Tak!
