2009 Blackberry pearl fit - Units in Kilometers / CND dollars-

25,000 new windshield - $1000
30,000 new tires - $400
45,000 new front brake pads - $250
50,000 problem in clutch pedal.. still pending on what exactly I need to do to fix it.

Love my car to death, Horrible price on fit windshields, totally a giant rip off. Thought the new tires was pretty weak after only 30,000 seems like crime against nature really to allow such crappy tires on a brand new car knowing that its going to wear out so quickly. Very nervous right now about my clutch pedal, probably nothing major I have my fingers crossed.

My girlfriend and I have decided to never sell this car just drive it into the ground forever!

Why so much for the windshield? I can get an aftermarket one installed for under $150.

~69,000 km: The retaining shaft for the A/C compressor clutch snapped off on my car. With nothing to clamp it to the compressor, the A/C clutch no longer engages and basically doesn't cool any more. Replaced the compressor.

Apparently you could still repair this though...just a matter of tapping the snapped shaft I'm told. It's still working fine otherwise.

2013 base... 1.)"Check gas cap" prompt on the dash. Goes away on its own.
2.)Car tends to unlock itself. Fixed by disabling auto unlock.
3.)Crappy stock tires due for replacement after only 20k (no, I'm an easy driver). 4.)Paint tends to scratch exceedingly easy.
Other than these, NO issues. Not bad for a $15k car, these days.
