$150 for fluids?

Oil and Oil filters can be bought for about $20, and Coolant is only $12-$15 for a gallon.... what type of fluids are you putting in that cost $150?


$600 for Tires?? That HAS to be a typo.... really?

I have never spent over $350 for tires. I get the basic name brand tire that runs me about $90-$100 a tire, with Nitrogen inflation and free rotation.

I've also bought starters and alternators for less expensive as well.

Sorry, but you really need to look around for some deals, you are spending too much money on either really expensive stuff that is not needed for your car, or the prices in your location are overpriced...

600 was a typo. brakes, i broke some parts, thats why they were expensive, im not putting cheap fluids in and im doing transfluid and every thing, going all out doin it the best i can

If you're doing this because you want to race it some more, you're wasting your time. These are economy commuter cars, not rice racers. You want to smoke some civics, sell the Saturn and buy a turbo Eclipse.
