    Hello all,
    New to the forums. Got my Grand Prix about 5 years ago and it have been and still is my daily driver. At 143K+ mileage she is starting to need a little work. Notice oil in the coolant a few weeks ago so I put all new gaskets in the maniford, top and bottom. At the same time new radiator hoses and t-stat, running about 200' now... what is normal? Struts were also shot so I replaced them with Monroe "Quick Strut" front and rear. Replaced the AC compressor, and drier so I got AC once again. Installed new oil pan and gasket, (monkeys at Jiffy lube strip the thread) never again. Next on the list is... I got a small rip in the trim on the air bag/steering wheel... got a new bag and trim coming plus I need to installed a new motor/regulator rear window driver side. With the vast knowledge on the fourms, at this high mileage should I be looking/checking anything else?
    Thank you, more happy cruising to all, Robert

    What Trim Package is your car that will depend on what maintenance you need as well. When's the last time you replaced the belts, plugs, wires, ect. Also if you have GTP you might look at replacing the PCV.
