Thanks for the reply....more likely I think it shows what the real value of this thing is somewhere else, not how low yours would be here! I guess only time will tell how good of a buy I got, eh? I was talking again today to the service manager at the shop that did the inspection to order the power steering hose and schedule that repair, and he absolutely can't believe what I bought it for and just absolutely loves it, which I guess is a pretty decent endorsement.

I do appreciate all the input and responses, and look forward to leaning on and learning from those on this forum.

Thanks!

 

Welcom Shep,

I've got an '03 myself. I love it. I didn't get as good a deal as you did but I think everyone will (and has) told you that!

Just keep your ear to the vehicle, anything that might not sound right to you, let the forum know. They'll clue you in to the normal sounds and when to be proactive. That's the only advice I can give you. Be proactive with everything from no more than 5K between oil changes to all likes of little bits that you'll learn from the forum. I'm living proof that no question is a dumb question!

welcome aboard.
