Has no rust,no major problems.Only had a few things done,like a new A/C compressor,which cost over $1,000,a new front crankshaft seal,and new muffler.Everything else done to it was just basic wear and tear stuff(brakes,tires,struts,oil,etc.).I'm very happy with the car and I should get at least another 5 or 6 years out of it before I MIGHT trade it in,but I might as well keep it till it's dead so I get every last cent of my money's worth out of it.
I am not an auto expert and wouldn't know how to change them even if I had a book like changing struts for Dummys, but is a strut change a normal wear and tear item that any auto owner should expect to replace, say at 100K?

I know it's off topic, but I figured one little question wouldn't set the world tilting off balance.
