Timing belt and water pump only costs like $250 and you only have to do them every 70kish, the wheel bearings are like $45

that’s not bad at all…
for reference, I had to do both rear wheel bearings on my old 96 impreza… they were $85x2…
Not to mention the lateral link bolt on both sides were completely fused to the link bushings and had to be torched out.
the bolt was a dealer item for whatever reason, $35x2.
the bushings were $28x4.
I guess just be prepared to spend money, because that’s what keeps cars going.
