I did replace the "Y" pipe as it was leaking and did the timing belt and water pump when I got the car. A few other items that needed work over the past two plus years.
* drivers door map pocket return mechanism broke. I used velcro to fix
* My car eats rotors but that's more my driving than the car.
* Keep the valve covers tight, if not they will leak
* Bulbs on the dash switches are going LOL 10 years old.
* The paint/finish on my rims is peeling
* I am having an annoying issue with the rubber seal on my drivers side window. Its curling when I roll the window down. This is causing binding?
* AND I have broken two ignition keys off of the FOB.. I think this is a know issue.


These are all minor issues and for a 10 year old car with 208K miles are really too minor to mention. But as you can see they are nit picking
Re rubber seal: try to treat it with 303.. It keeps the rubber lubricated and soft
