    Seat covers

    They look like faux leather, nice looking, but not leather. I have 12 Shih Tzus and in one night one of the puppies dug thru new chairs made of faux leather and pulled all the stuffing out. I had to throw out new furniture and I bought used real leather furniture off of craigslist 3 years ago...

    Break line

    I have never had to replace a metal break line on any vehicle. I never buy new vehicles. Right now my Pilot has 155,000 on it and my tacoma has 134,000. I had a 1972 chevelle that had 346,000 miles on it. My opionion is unless there is a problem with one of your lines, spend your money on...

    I have bought 3 sets from Rock Auto. priced reasonable, and sometimes you can find replacement lights on Ebay. Sure beats spending $400 to $600.

    Extended Warranty decisions

    Unknown fluid found

    replace the cv joint yourself $60 to $100. Take it to a mechanic $200 - $300. takt to the dealer $300 - $400. You can buy the boot, but it is a bitch to put on. I always buy the rebuilt and all i have to do is take the old one out and install the rebuilt.

    Grease fittings

    It is my opinion that all car manufactures have intentionally left grease certs out to make the front end wear out sooner so you will want to buy a new vehicle. I bought a shot needle that hooks on to the grease gun hose tip. With the needle you can stick it thru the rubber and add grease...
