assuming you're the original owner?

how about a breakdown of how much it cost you to maintain her up to 200000km+ so far?

i.e. timing belt? serpentine belt? clutch (if applicable)?, out of warranty repairs? dash lights? etc.

i'm only at a mere 51,600 miles and my plan is to ride her up to about 110,000 miles before I unload.

Nothing a little photoshopping won't fix to get that back to 200,000.

Oil change every 3.5k-5k Mobile 1, ($30) transmission oil change Amsoil ATF($70) every 10k, switched out gear switches, changed spark plugs at 100k ($60), timing belt and water pump at 100k ($400). AAP sensor ($130) I do all the maintenance except timing belt and water pump.

Congrats! My '07 is at 62K, you put on some miles!

Has there been a picture post of the '07 gear switch/transmission sensor change out? I would like to do it but haven't been able to find good guidance on the 3 sensor replacement.

So no wheel bearings, low ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, nothing?? That's impressive if all that need to be changed was normal maintenance things.

nope, just had some new tires put on and the speed shop did inspection and everything checked out...but I think there is something going on with the left side. during acceleration it wobbles until I get up to 50.
