Wagons are tough to find these days.
That being said parts are harder to come by these days; most stores don't stock so you have to order or go online and wait.
what else could come up?

The 2008 was a refresh of the 2003 design and it's fundamentally a Malibu. Parts have been a non-issue, we are spoilt for choice in the GTA and Beacon Motors has everything.
Future fear i guess remains the suspension, this is where things tend to add up quickly as you repair in sets so it's minimum $500 every time, if not more.

TBh more about money to a point because the "little bit fun and different' would be my future toy car so i am willing to sacrifice my DD to get that. Buying "Toyhonda" 5 years old is expensive and no guarantees (though surely better than Saab) and leasing an absolute bare boned stripper is still double my repair bills.
