hi,
I have a 1995 Buick Century. Love the interior and comfort. It has 175,000 miles on it. RECENTLY, I have had done :
--all new brake lines $400
--all new tires $250
--new alternator $45? i forget
--new battery $50
--new hood release cable $25
--new rack and pinion $380
It is needing a right wheel-bearing now. $145 for the part...we'll probably do it here ourselves, like all the other stuff, other than rack 'n pinion.
ALSO, it needs a new right side STRUT.. Everyone says replace BOTH! Got a good price @ MIDAS for $250 for both.
THAT IS ANOTHER $400 RIGHT THERE.......
CRAZY! It all started with the brakelines @ $400, then on and on.
Engine is like new even at 175,000. Have had it for 5 years this month. ADDING all the money for parts and maintenance over the 5 years, it averages out to about $70 a month now.....
GOT THE CAR FOR FREE AS A GIFT.....
SHOULD I stop now before the wheel bearing, and struts?
HA! Thanks guys!!
