Got the car back today
374 dollars down the drain and then i'm advised what other items it needs. I've had this car since it was new, 4 years, 19K miles and it needs the following.
1. Swaybar end links
2. Rear shocks
3. Passenger side tires
4. Brakes all around
They tried to sell me 2 tires for 490 dollars installed. I almost died laughing. She's been a great car but i'm not buying saturn again.

Haha
Had it since new
Has 19K miles on it now
Paid 21K for it brand new
Better?
I don't know why it needs all that ****. I can understand the brakes needing a refreshing but the swaybar links? I'm not putting anymore money into it. Hopefully it'll be gone tomorrow in a nice trade.
Can someone explain to me how the wires from the throttle position sensor to the ECM could become corroded?

Considering the wires from the tps to the ecm are under the hood (and therefore exposed to the elements to some extent) they are open to corrosion.....shitty wiring harness imho, should go a lot longer than 4 years unless you spray under the hood with salt water on a regular basis
Shocks, well, they do wear out but 19k seems a bit early. If you always have people in the back or drive on really bumpy roads all the time it might cause quicker wear but...19k, yeesh.
Tires....why only the passenger side? Worn out or curb damage? If they are worn out and the drivers side is not, there may be other problems involved. Unless you've been doing the nascar thing..."Go fast, turn left, repeat 1000 times"
