Well gio here's my list after I bought in December 2011, within 18 months I did the following:

-Arnott front air struts (1300)
-New compressor (gently used 250)
-Belts and tensioners, fan clutch (500)
-Driveline fluids change (300)
-Brake and clutch flush (150)
-Front suspension control arms, thrust arms, ball joints, front sway bushings, rear sway links and bushings (800)
-New tires and staggered 168s (1800)......For what its worth I could have just gotten new tires on the stock 18's, but I sprung the extra few hundred to buy a set of 20s with the Toyos pre-mounted, much more worth it


That was year 1.

This past year I did the following:

-Tie rods and front wheel bearings (450)
-Oil filter canister lid (30)
-2 new PDC sensors (35)

My second year was basically not bad besides the wheel bearings issue, but now at 10 years old my CCV system is done. Just ordered 450 in parts to do the CCV, rebuild my DISA, refresh my PS reservoir and fluids, and should be good for a while.


Note that the previous owner did the expansion tank, thermostat, hoses, and coolant flush, as well as front and rear brake pads/rotors, and new height sensors/ EHCII module before I bought the X.


The first two years are the worst with a used car as you are catching up on maintenance and aged parts, but at this point I can't see myself saying "enough is enough" unless the motor blows. I'm on top of my maintenance and anything that fails is either from a random occurrence or me not paying attention to what I should be preventatively replacing or paying attention to.

It gets better man!
