Great way to learn and be one with your car. I'm curious. Have you added up the bill for total cost of ownership, muscatty?

Are the CCFL's known to burn out? How often do they need to be changed? I'm leaning to LED's with a diffuser but so many of them are crap. Need to find a reliable one.

If he is going to "pull the AOS to inspect" I'd probably have him put a new one in...especially if it is the original. They are a PITA to replace.

Is he replacing the flywheel and pressure plate...

It depends on how much preventative maintenance you want to do and how much aesthetic fixes. I put about $4,000 into my car shortly after I bought it. Most of that was preventative maintenance and...

So in about 1500 miles of driving you put over $7200 into repairs! :-O

It does seem odd that coolant wouldn't have gotten into the trunk if the cap was leaking.
