I have an '05 LE high mileage car, I'm talking almost 300.000 mi. bought it new. Very few problems other than expected wear and tear. Only problem is paint fade, not uncommon in S FL, especially with those of us too lazy to use a good paste wax!

295,???.? (just so amazed at first 3 digits I never notice the rest...) '05 LE. only issue so far, A/C clutch!

Very doable. A quick lesson or two from YouTube.com At least the most common maintenance is doable! 5,000 miles oil change 10,000 mile + (depending on conditions air filter every other year cabin air filter I personally have tire rotation (5,000 mi) done by tire store, they have lift and will...

Not much for you to worry about other than upkeep for quite some time. After the dealer covered stuff ends I hope you plan on doing much of your own maintenance. Just get quality products (Not Fram) Sorry, was that out loud?

Replacing compressor, need to pull off serpentine, some say I need to loosen retention nut others say not... when old pulley failed it just gave away, making me think I can pull tensioner without backing nut off. I only ask to avoid buying a tool retail I don’t need...

Good to know! I'm a day or two away from the "big day".
