Anything else you failed to mention?
Why mention tires? What does vehicle make have to do with how long tires last? Gee, you think driving 200k+ miles may take a few sets of tires? Heck, I had to fill that gas tank a few times too, can you believe it????
Okay, yeah, I replaced the timing belt twice, once at 100k, then at 200k. Cost about $150 in parts.
No suspension parts replaced! Replaced the rotors at about 175k miles. Haven't even looked at the rear drums.
It's bleeding me in replacement parts!
And it cost $50 in parts for a Dorman IMG set. And you shouldn't have to replace it again. A person can spin anything anyway they want. Plenty of GM vehicles can go that many highway miles without needing much repairs too.
