Long term repair history 118,000 miles

I thought I would share my long term repair history. The car now has 118,000 miles.
The repair history is as follows.
93k miles-new water pump and transmission electrical connector plug.
117k miles new alternator.
Thats it other then normal wear parts re: tires, bulbs, oil and brakes. Not bad I think.

Nice i am at 139,500 or so with no major problems at all. tcu plug, front sway bar bushings, thermostat, battery, stupid stepper linkage and stuff broken by my old dealership. i love my car drive perfect and i hope to never sell it. only thing is that one of the rear door locks has a mind of its own. works perfect a few days then stops working for a few going to eventually fix it but really don't care. btw have you done trans service and spark plugs if not i would do it now.

165K miles and the repair list is too long to go into. But....but, everything has been repaired and the car performs great and is comfortable to drive. Almost like new in both departments. If I didn't do most of the work myself for general maintenance and failures after the extended warranty I would have sold the car due to cost issues of repair long ago. I'm keeping it until I find a PEV replacement.
