I live in IL, and own a 2002 Type S 4.0, blk on blk with sport package. This car was my mothers FLA car until she passed away. It only has 58,500 miles on it and is like a time capsule when you get into it. It was always in the garage and never ever was allowed to get dirty! Visually it is 100%, unfortunately mechanically it is becoming a money pit. after getting a $14,000 repair estimate from the dealer who wanted to replace essential the whole suspension due to dry rot I quickly ran to a specialty shop that said the same thing. After spending $2,000 on upper and lower ball joints and control arms, I am faced with what I think is a bad rack and pinion. Will find out tomorrow.

My purpose for joining the group is to learn about the community, find resources for parts and mechanics. I don't want to sell, but the wife is making a good argument with every bill that comes in.

Thanks for having me!
