Bought mine new, its has never had any service.

I change the oil and filters myself. Of course they tried to sell me an extended warranty. I told them if I didn't think it was built right in the first place why would I be buying it.

Just a tail light assembly. That's it. No extended warranty here and no need for it. That saved over $1000.

The service records show the EGR valve on my 98 Formula was replaced at 4,000 Mi. and that's it. I'm the third owner and I'm happy to see it was pretty trouble-free for the first owners. It's only got 34,000 mi. on it now so I'm sure it didn't have a lot of Mi. when the 36 mo. ran out.

I'm second owner got it at 22,500.
VIS of all warranty work===rotors turned at 6466; rotors turned and brake hoses replaced at 12404; power steering pulley and lifters at 25,100; accessory drive tensioner, rotors turned, drivers window motor at 27,900. They broke the power mirror last time it was in, never went back to them. Right now my rotors are about .090 thinner than the limit and warped again, the lifters never stopped making noise (they did have the heads off I could tell), I have no idea why they replaced the pulleys. I had a year and 8000 miles I could have taken advantage of, should have.

I've had my sail panel replaced 3 times.

I worked at a dealership for a little while as a Corvette tech so we warranted a few things. Both front headlight assemblies (they were a little faded), both window motor and regulators (they were slow, pass. one was getting stuck occasionally), and a door speaker. That's the real stuff, there were a few other things done. Car has 23K on it.
