Literally just dropped almost $5,500 TODAY on my car. Probably shorter to tell you what wasn’t wrong with it lmao. So…went in for a check engine light and rough braking. 3rd cylinder was blown in the engine. As for the brakes, they were warped and needed to be fixed. The cause of the warping was from a fluid leak in the steering column, so the rack & pinion had to be replaced. Additionally, the timing belt was due for replacement. And all four tires were bald. Throw in a side marker light that was out, and an oil change…brutal.

Got my ball joints done, but it wasn't the issue. 😅 I think they were like $60 each then about that for labor.

Had to get all new tires last week. They cost 520. Which is actually pretty cheap for tires I think 🤔

ARWINGx1 · Answer

A number of 'em. Which is necessary to pass... State inspection, I think. (i live in Sweden, so I tried to guess the English term)

The Handbrake wire, Brake Caliper+Pads, and Suspension Spring. All on the rear-left wheel.

Might need to do the same on the opposite side too.

At the moment, the total cost is unknown.

I got new tires for my 2013 Nissan Versa late last year after 60k miles. I think it was around $400 or so. I can't remember exactly. Nothing has ever broke on it though. It is an awesome car! :) Of course I have taken good care of it since I got it new.

I had a lug nut disappear. Cost me about $8 for the replacement. All the others were fine, which makes me think it was some loser who needed one for his own vehicle and was too cheap to go to Autozone. Also the morons at Valvoline over torqued and stripped out most of the retainers for the cover under my engine compartment, so the parts were about $15 but it took me about an hour to extract the old retainers.

Other than routine maintenance, not much has been needed. The only things I've had to replace are tires, windshield wipers and brakes. The tires cost $400, the wipers were $50, and the brakes were $250.

My last fix was leaving it to my ex. (The bank re-possessed it later :D ) To me it was for free, heh heh. Since then I enjoy my freedom on motorcycles exclusively.
