I like driving our 850, but should I bail out now before the next onslaught of repairs with over 100k miles? I already paid for the following repairs in the last couple of years: ABS Module, heater core, in tank fuel pump (big $), water pump, alternator. Not to mention the usual timing belt, brake and rotor hassles, etc.

I haven't (knock on wood) been hit up with the following items typically heard on this forum: AC evaporator, second round of ABS module repair, air mass meter, transmission, rear main seal, turbo, electrical gremlins, etc. I DIY as much as I can, but I am getting a little tired of about $1000 to $2000 per year BEYOND the standard wear items and routine maintenance, which I keep up with.
