That’s a nice feeling, and one to be appreciated …..but at some point money will have to be spent (unless you sell and move on to something newer, or something that has already had money spent on it).
Unfortunately, parts deteriorate and need to be replaced over the course of time, no mater what the marque.
I find myself in this situation atm with a well cared for tourer that I bought several years ago.🙄. It has costed very little since purchased, but alas, now needs rear sills replaced, rear arms, and front struts. When Im getting the rear end sorted it ill probably replace springs and shocks too, to tighten it up a bit.
At a guess it’ll be about 1/2 price I paid for the car, but i reckon it’s worth it for another “x” years. “X” is unknown.😬
I don’t drive it much, so I’d say the current tyres will outlast any work done.🤔
