You never know if the transmission or motor is going to go out. And if that does, it's going to cost a ton of money.
Yep, I've bought two sets of Schrader TPMS sensors from RockAuto on closeout for ~$17/each. They work fine.

Bought used in 2/2017 with 60,510 miles on the clock.

8.67 years of ownership Just turned 119k miles yesterday.

Average of 6.5k miles per year.

She's still purring, and my hope is to keep it that way for at least another 5-6 years.

I replaced all the TPMS a couple weeks ago.

They cleaned out the oil on the engine so we can id whats leaking. They think it is the oil pan. I believe I am going to have the timing belt done, reseal the oil pump, oil pan and change the filter gasket. Maybe the vtech solenoid gasket too. They gave me a friendly quote for all of it.
