Thank you for your informed response.The fancy SF tire shop wanted to replace pretty much everything including tires and hadn't finished their estimate by the end of the day where it stood at $4500. I contacted my old reliable mechanic (who had moved away) and he said the only things needing replacement were the front axles,cv joints and struts. Also found out that, contrary to what I was told, the timing chain had not been replaced for 16 years. Good thing the mileage is 113k. Fancy shop hadn't even gotten to that. So now I'm looking at about $1600 for axles, cv joints and struts. Timing chain another $1k. This done by my old and reliable mechanic who I am now willing to drive an hour to see.This is gonna hurt but I am hoping this car will be a reliable (and fun!) car for quite a while. Thoughts?
