So I have owned my SE for a little over a year now. I paid 2000 dollars and I definitely over paid. I have spent about 3000 or so more on it since then and it still has it's fair share of issues. I do really like the car though. I am far from a "car guy" but I am learning. The most recent fix was just today. I had to replace the the rear drivers side window motor and regulator. Easy job and only cost me 50 bucks. Made me wish I didn't drive around for months with my window falling every time I hit a bump.
Since I do really like the car I figure I will just keep chipping away at it. My fiancee wants me to buy a new one, but I am fighting the good fight for as long as I can. My top priorities which I should be able to do before years end are replacing the fuel sensor as it no longer works. I have purchased it already. Is this hard to do? The passenger seat floor boards seem to leak when it rains. I did spot a missing bolt by the windshield cowl that could be the culprit. The front and rear bumpers are both pretty cracked. Hoping to find some in good condition at the junkyard. If not, they're not too expensive to order new online.
Some other small projects are as follows. I would like to find some better seats for the car. The previous owner(s) didn't take the best care of them. Not terrible, but a cigarette burn or two. I can no longer spray windshield washer fluid. Not sure what the problem is here. My Keyfob is broken so I never take advantage of the remote start. It works but the plastic that allows it to go on my key ring is broken. Are these easily replaced? The check engine light recently came on so I hope that's nothing major. My key sometimes won't come out of the ignition. This is super annoying.
I have been reading these forums quite a bit and figured there's nothing I need to do that hasn't been done before. Anyone who has any thoughts or experiences that they can share would be greatly appreciated. I can post pictures if anyone is interested.

. And if you want to really get better search results, don't use the search bar at the top of the home page. Use Google and Google something like "how to flush coolant grandprixforums." You will get better results. Buy a new thermostat as well.
