First post in a long time:
2004 MCS, 105K - had to replace the clutch last week; decided to replace the upper motor mount and front struts as well; then I was told the lower control arm bushings need replacement same with the ball joints. I’m holding off and replacing the bushings and ball joints myself then have it realigned at the shop. I was also told I needed to replace the cabin air filter, completely forgot about that, I’ll do that as well, it will be ugly with over eight years since last change.

2003 MCS
100,000 miles owned since 67,000 miles
Replaced:
Power steering pump - covered by mini
Radiator fan (stage 1 out)
AC compressor clutch - frigid in the car now (and I love me some AC)
LCA bushings
Retrofitted the headlights with projectors and HIDs
Shocks and struts
He's been a great car and one we hope to keep around for a long long time
