lol, if i had a/c, power locks or power windows it'd be worth looking at

brakes are practically new with echo_hrs's old calipers....

right, the rear hatch supports....i might mention that to them....i had the same problem in my matrix, but replacing them just prolonged the inevitable suckage of more oem ones

ill have them look at the battery...

that is a wear and tear part....unless you know how to make a cell go bad....

and damnit how did I know you had a bare bones model? lol


I would say then:
- waterpump weepage possibly (unless you have the after market pulleys, you might even get away with having aftermarket pulleys)

- any of the black plastic outer body parts (like the side-view mirror area) warped/shifted/creaking/loose? we had the one in front of the mirror assembly replaced, the one that looks like a 'D' ; clips were very loose

- underbody rust?

- any of the interior panels shifting or creaking....they can install a foam kit or two....

Mike seem fine.....

the ones in the wife's car spouted internal leaks no oil on the pistons (i.e. they would raise the hatch halfway and you had to lift it the rest of the way up...)
