Actually, it's the meat and potatoes dying with this import. The motor-mounts. CV boots. Thermostat. Radiator cracked near the fill-neck. Ignition switch, etc. This is at 117K on the odometer and the car looks very pampered. Interior is flawless, etc.

Also, who the hell puts a cap/rotor distributor on a car in 2002? WTF!? Yeah, had to replace that, and am amazed I didn't get misfire codes as bad as the rotor looked. Must have a mean ignition system to bridge that gap, lol

All the accessories work flawlessly.

With the GM, the only thing that went out was the T/O bearing at 85K miles, the clutch hydraulics (master cyl.), and the rear-end. All about the same-time. Other than that, it was little-stuff, accessories, etc.
