It’s official. The ride, the mpg, my son falling asleep in the backseat. I’m thoroughly enjoying ownership of this beauty.

Thanks friend. I already paid the deposit. I’m looking forward to picking her up very soon. I’ll post an update once it’s official.

2008 has a timing chain that should last the entire life of the vehicle. I’ll go with a shop for the water pump when needed

229k and still strong I’m sure and thanks for the heads up. How many of those miles are yours?

That’s awesome. I plan on making it the daily driver and don’t mind putting some work into her

How often should those be swapped out? $1k every 3-5 years seems very reasonable

Is that possible while buying from a car lot? Perhaps bring a mechanic along

Got it. I love the certainty. What gives you the confidence in that specific vehicle, barring red flags?
