Greetings, fellow 'sufferer'... From the previous, i will just segue smoothly into my question: are you familiar with all of the many maintenance and fix-it-now-before-it-fails common problem areas of these Bonnes? If not, i would suggest reading through the many Techinfo and other posts on such subjects, a.s.a.p. to try to avoid heartache and expense. If you are familiar, and if you do some or all of your own repair work, please add whatever tips and tricks you may have found (or find in the future), to our collection. Every little bit helps. Again, greetings G Lindenau.

Meh, it's not all it's cracked up to be. It's analagous to having a hot, high maintenance GF. Sure it's cool for a while, and when you "get on it" it's always fun, but it costs a LOT of money, and always leaves you wanting for more...
