Tires
Battery at 60K miles

I'm in the same boat as Murph. We have thrown a couple $K's in preventive maintenance, but will trade the car in if it gets too expensive.

We were 30 miles from home a few months ago and the dreaded Engine Failsafe message popped up with a terrible loping idle and I immediately thought it was trade-in time. Thanks to this forum, I ordered a new MAF the next day, threw it in when it arrived, and it was good as new again.

It's a 2002 4.4i with 163k miles. We bought it from the original owner back in 2010. It still has the original transmission, even with many towing miles. The original owner, a former cca president, pulled his M3 race car with it and I've pulled my cars to 1 or 2 track events per year. It pulls ~5,300 pounds surprisingly well. Of course now that I've said all that, the transmission will fry tomorrow.

174500 ish. Mechanically a great truck. ... electrically and vacuum system wise like a geriatric lady in a nursing home. And Medicare don't cover the repairs! I'd say easily 2k to 3k per year $. I like the car and bragging about the miles.

Rolled 258,000 miles last night. Original tranny fluid still performing fine! New rear suspension bushings last week eliminated all squeaks and let the rear wheels line-up like they're supposed to!
