I heard a lot of feedback from friends and secondhand car salesman, stating that there are quite a bit of Wear and Tear items that need to be changed regularly to avoid major repairs. Can someone tell me what are those and how frequent should they be changed and how much they cost ?Sorry if all these info have been posted somewhere in this forum before <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />Any feedback / comment is most appreciated !Thanks !</p></blockquote><p></p>
