I had everything checked out--fluids topped off; rotors resurfaced--prior to purchasing. Synthetic oil will be changed on the dot

My 03 has 101K... Runs like a champ, you should replace the cabin air filter too. I pulled mine yesterday and it was nasty as if it had never been replaced!!! I bought the Fram arm and hammer one off Amazon, smells clean now. Also, get a good oil filter like wix. You can throw some Sea Foam (any auto store) in your gas tank an that will help clean out your engine components a bit. I use one can every year on all my vehicles (over the last 8 years) and haven't had a single engine issue. I've had 6 cars in 8 years most with higher mileage so I think I'm safe to say it helps/works

I have had nothing but anxiety since I purchased the car. I'll be moving from VA to PA for grad school and I'm worried, with so many miles, that something will go wrong.
Should I trade it in?
Help!
When you get a good car I say keep it. You never know how the next car will turn out!

I would only suggest you replace all of the hoses, thermostat, fluids and belts, 90% of the time I've seen a car breakdown has been because one of these component failed and made the car overheat.

This will give you peace of mind and you will know that all of those components are brand new.
