Ian,
Yes, the prices I posted are for 1 year.
What do you mean you don't know how we can afford these prices ( for upkeep )? People spend thousands of dollars on their cars every year.
If you want the car to keep running you got to maintain and it cost $$ to maintain. I do all the work myself ( or mech Friend does the hard stuff ), plus I save on parts cost, because a friend works at a Chevy parts Dept.
2003 saw only 4 big buck purchases. The fuel pump job was $550 + $55 for labor,, The rear struts & springs were $368.00 + $125 labor, L & R rear wheel bearing hubs $482.00 + $50 labor.
The rest of the $$ went towad oil changes, two tires, RW alignment, trans oil change, F brakes, water pump, fuel Inj cleaner, headliner, LF door hinge, flat tire repairs, 6 spark plugs, serpentine belt , throttle body cleaner, liquid wrench, brake kleen, 10 lug nuts & stabalizer links.
