"There was a very minor leak in the power steering system, but it cost nearly $2500 to fix"

"Squeaking belt noise, had to replace Power Steering unit"

"leak found at service. replaced power steering rack"

"Once the power steering fluid has begun to leak from the boots due to worn gaskets inside the steering rack and the rubber boot covers have begun to deteriorate, the entire power steering rack needs to be replaced at a cost of about $2,000. Before or at about this time, the front and rear struts have to be replaced, for roughly another $2,000. So, the car requires more than just regular maintenance and the recommended maintenance at specific milage intervals at approximately midlife due to wear"

"expensive repair"

"The power steering racka nd pinion assembly was leaking at a 90,000 mile service check and replaced"

"Replaced struts"

"I was advised by my mechanic that the shocks & struts needed replacement. Otherwise I was satisfied with the car's performance. Apparently the age of the car and what appeared to the mechanic the need to replace the items above were needed"

"Expect to replace both front and rear struts at some point during the car's midlife. Each strut costs about $300 and the replacement is labor intensive, for a total cost of around $2000"
