That's the hardest part about this car, getting anything. I can get oil and filters and belts locally, that's it.

Same here - only had my car for a month, but so far I've been able to do everything (and there has been a number of things) myself.  Seems that it's not a terribly difficult car to work on, its actually less annoying than the VW Jetta I had years ago.
You're right on the parts availability - local auto parts stores don't have much on hand, so sometimes the car needs to stay in the garage for a few days while I wait for things to ship.
