Maintenance/Repair file of my SLS

The table below lists briefly the maintenance and repairs (and some non-stock items) of my Seville, from the time it came into the family in May of 2000.  I didn't include items like oil changes because that's not a unique repair item for this car, but I did want to include other regular maintenance items like brakes and tires because it gives me (and you) an idea of the life expectancy and wear of these particular parts.  Many of these items aren't repairs at all (like the installation of a factory 12-disc CD changer, an option this vehicle wasn't equipped with, and the Heritage of Ownership Medallion), but reflect the total amount of money that's gone into this car.  Repairs and maintenance and modifications are indicated using the following colors:
