    Default Known higher mileage issues

    Hey all,

    Awd tl owner here. My one owner car has 182000 ks on it now, and I'm starting to experience a few minor issues as it ages. The car has always been serviced every six months, with bits replaced as soon as needed. It's general condition is good and it is garaged and well cared for cosmetically and mechanically.

    Looking for some sort of idea of what to experience with regards common mechanical issues. In the last 12 months it's needed a cv boot, new roof lining, and recently a new thermo fan. The engine still has good compression and does not burn oil. I put this down to the regular oil changes.

    Timing belt was done for the second time at 150. Also did the water pump.

    What has been other peoples experiences with their cars as they age? I'd prefer to keep the car for at least another 3-5 years, and so need an idea of what to budget for over time. Not really handy with tools, so won't be doing any of the work myself.

    cheers,
