Presuming you’ve got the 1.8 L 4 banger, and an automatic transmission, these are probably your worse case scenarios …
- transmission problems could run $2-3 thousand
- if engine runs out of oil, $4-6 thousand
- timing chain/cover problems, $500-700
- AC problems, $1000 to $2000
If you drive your car gently and keep all the routine maintenance on schedule, you’ll be unlikely to have any of those problems in the next 10 years or 150,000 miles imo.
