oh wow there's a car thread huh
i finally got the first of the major work done on my 2010 rogue (like 160k miles on him and his previous owner didn't take good care of him, only had the car since may of this year). got the drive belt replaced about a week ago (mechanic who's been workin on cars for like 30yrs told me it was the worst one he'd ever seen) and then finally got all my inner and outer tie rod ends replaced. dealership tried to charge me close to $1k for it when they'd only quoted the work as being close to $500, so a little bit of crying from me and some calm negotiating from my dad got them to drop the service charge much lower to what i was quoted originally.
next up i need to replace the control arms, fix an oil cooler leak, find a more permanent solution to my failing catalytic converter error codes, get new spark plugs, and get my brake fluid replaced
