Ask and ye shall receive! The big ticket items were clutch, IMS, and AOS. But lots of other little things have needed addressing on what was a very clean car when I bought it.

This made me laugh because I have a similar spreadsheet with similar items! Sad but true

Taking good care of your baby! Having said that, the charges by `Berg Performance' seem excessive by about a factor of two...

Yeah -that's a big number for the IMS replacement, and that is without a clutch refresh??

We have purchased a lot of cars from a very successful sales person in the Twin Cities auto business. When I asked him once about two different cars I was considering for one of our kids he said... "I always buy the miles" go for the low mile car.

I think it was sage advice. $5 or $10K can often buy 30k less miles.

The IMS job included a new clutch and flywheel, RMS, and a brake fluid flush. Just don't have "text wrapping" turned on in this spreadsheet and was posting from my phone so the full description got cut off. The cost was competitive with quotes I got from other shops in the area.
