While I love it, it has just over 1000,000 miles on it and needs some maintenance like new shocks and struts, spark plugs, antifreeze flush and fill, etc. The estimates for these maintenance items are mind boggling. I forget the exact quote but just to replace the six spark plugs was, I believe, somewhere in the $500 range. It has a CV (continuously variable) transmission. I just had it in the dealer for a recall and decided to replace the transmission fluid while there because it is proprietary and can't be done elsewhere. The cost to replace the transmission fluid alone was almost $400!

   Fucking Japanese.
   
   
   Change the plugs yourself. Not that hard.
   
   Buy your shocks and struts online and let a good local mechanic change them out.
   
   Rockauto is good if they send you the correct parts. Only had one issue with them. Hard to bet their prices.

   i find it hilarious that transmission manufacturers have little idiosyncrasies with their trannys that justify having a 'unique' fluid that only they can produce and sell. in the case of torque-converter type transmissions they all use the exact same basic oil/fluid.

   nowhere near as exciting as a million. that might be some sort of record.
   
   i had a previous car that i drove everywhere unnecessarily and had the grandiose idea of making it to a million miles on the odometer. (based on some article i read about some dude in an audi or VW or something who had that many miles on his car)
   
   that idea was quickly discarded after i discovered i despise driving on roads with any other drivers...no matter what country its in.

   But who really wants to drive the same fucking car for that long?
   
   Not I.
   
   I buy used cars now. At least three years old.

   I drive a 99 f-250.
   
   It's not diesel
   I can't lock it cuz the door keys are different than the ignition.
   The steering wheel was changed and I can't see my gauges when driving
   It isn't firing on all cylinders
   The stater will make a loud grinding noise and not start sometimes
   It needs brakes
   
   It was 550 bucks and I have got 3 months out of it.

    Well, a part not being common could be a problem in and of itself.
