what do u look out for when ur TL goes past 70k miles
my car's beginning to feel older now :-)
- the suspension is annoying now as i intentionally take longer routes to avoid speed bumps in parking lots.
- the engine isn't silent when idling anymore (back then i could think the engine was off, then turn the ignition again only to hate myself afterwards!)
- the car doesn't pick up like b4 when i step on my gas
- the effect of having the ac on is now more noticeable on the car's performance
- i hear more wind noise while on the highway than i used to
coupled with the usual tranny and brake problems occuring within the same period, my car's about to be re-christened from baby (to the other b word).
what things do u think i should check out b4 the next maintenance (90K) which is @ least 7 months away?

u have a point there. however the leasing thing has limits. and i hate having limits on such stuff like my ride and my accomodation! when i have a car, i wanna drive as long as i want and do whatever i want to the car.
