Chrono0001, I've been reading your posts since you joined this forum. And I didn't see any posts about your emissions problems. And since I was chasing my own emissions issues, I was surprised I had missed your posts. Kinda glad to see you hadn't made any posts about it.
Tucson is a bustling metropolis. Not like Phoenix, but getting very close. Especially since they've updated I-10 a few years ago. Too bad the citizens didn't want a bypass around the east side of town. Would have helped alleviate the traffic jams throughout the city.
My "maintenance" has been real low. Even considering some of the catch-up maintenance I had to do when I first bought my '99 a year ago. I never added it all up, but I'm guessing around $2K. New rotors, pads, spark plugs/tubes, belt, filters, oil, rear tires, alignment, etc. However, my repairs are probably at about $3K. Which also includes the $1K glass window top I put on when my plastic window broke. So I've doubled the purchase price of my car over the past year. But, I should be good for a while now. I don't expect to spend that much next year. Afterall, most of the failure type components are all new now.
I do have a few things I still have to do, which total about $500. Motor mount, water pump, gasket, low-temp thermostat, and AirLift tool.
