I remember my 2000 Saturn had everything easy to reach, just a few $20 or less sensors, and it went 200,000 with just a $45 starter and $8 coolant temp sensor both that didn't take more than 20 mins to change out. It did need a clutch in there but that was before I owned it, still a reasonable job compared to my Subaru which pretty much needed the engine pulled.

All cars have become amazingly expensive!!!
We have been tempted and fell for the incredible level of "luxury" at a cost.
Keep in mind that the lease made it all possible. If the average guy had to pay the actual cost it would never sell.
Enjoy it while you can.
