Today, I went ahead and ordered the parts to ?tune-up? and ?repair? the old, ?96 Saturn SL2 with 94,000 miles.
Here was the final list:

-----------------------------
Items Total: $105.60
Shipping: $0.00
Handling Fee: $0.00
Order Total: $105.60
No word on shipping costs yet, but it should be less than $30 and should bring the final total to around $130. I?ll still be saving $50+ compared to the local dealership.
Then, I ordered some additional parts from RockAuto:
ACDELCO744QQSpark Plug Wire Set$ 23.79
FRAMPPA7094Air Filter $ 18.75
NGK5643Spark Plug$ 1.70(4) $6.80
WIX33575Fuel Filter$ 19.27
Discount $ -3.43
Shipping $ 15.33
Order Total $ 80.51
I have the engine oil and filter already here at home, did a coolant change last spring, and bought 3 quarts of Power Steering Fluid and 1 quart of Brake Fluid for $10 at Walmart. All done for less than $230.
Here?s the interesting thing: The Fram ?PPA7094? Air Filter is actually their AirHog reusable filter. List price is well over $40 on it. RockAuto only charged me $18.75 for some reason. I?m pretty sure the price is legitimate too, as I went ahead and looked it up for a ?05 Tahoe, and the AirHog filter for that truck was < $30.00, which is still ?too low.?
In addition, Fram is currently offering a $20 mail-in rebate on the AirHog filter. So, I wonder if my purchase will still ?qualify? since the price is suspiciously low. I guess I?ll have to contact Fram on Monday to see what they say. If I don?t qualify for the $20 filter mail-in rebate, I can still qualify for the free cleaning kit rebate. It?s either one or the other.
I?ll post more once I get the parts, hopefully that air filter price is right.
