Gotta keep them Heat Shields properly adjusted! all hell breaks loose when
you dont.
44,000 miles on a rack....time to get that swapped out, usually "Hammered"
after 40K.
Radios are good for only a few hundred hours of listening, less if it's
rock music....

This post is a joke right..god I hope so...or your "dealer" sees a sheep
for sure....
No, no joke. The car was free for us so I don't mind spending a couple
grand.
The heat shield makes a noise when I start the car and I don't like it.
They're
going to stop the noise.

The car has sat for years. Seals and gaskets crack with age and without
use.

The timing belt is 60 mos or 60K miles. It's been over 60 months. My car
prior to this broke a timing belt, in a parkway toll booth, two weeks ago.
It was 10K over the suggested limit. I had to scrap the car. I want to try
to
avoid that happening again if at all possible. Is that okay with you? ;->

I agree on the belts and gaskets....doubt the steering rack needed anything
and the radio is probably fine. Check the antenna, any inline amplifier.
Dealers LOVE to screw customers anytime they can.

The dealer said the antenna just wasn't pulled out. Duh on me. They must
have
pushed it in at the car wash. I'm still getting used to the car. I'd only
driven it
a day prior to it going in to the dealer.
