    It was one of the other threads on here that got me to compile everything that was done on my car, dates, where, mileage etc. in an excel spreadsheet rather than a bunch of random receipts and papers in my filing cabinet.

    '05 coupe (47.5K miles): PO hadn't driven it much in the last 3 months of ownership, 2nd day after I got it the battery warning light came on; checked and smelled an electrical burnt odor in the vicinity of the alternator; was still under CPO warranty, tried to make the 15 mile drive to the dealer, didn't make it; fried the battery, had to be towed, replaced both battery and alternator
    (50K miles) serpentine belt is showing cracks, replacing both belts next week

    '04 vert (9K miles): battery didn't sound right, put it on a trickle charger overnight, still not cranking quickly enough; replaced the battery, cranking sounded correct but immediately tripped the battery warning light, took it in for service and needed a new alternator

    86k Miles - Starter Died.

    Bout it, been good to me so far.

    P.S. I forgot the battery ended up dying on me last summer. Lasted 7 years though, the guy in the battery shop down the street couldnt believe it lasted that long.

    Thanks for the data Acyd. Again...this data will be compiled eventually into a historical failure document, based upon our discoveries.

    1) Battery - ~38K miles
    2) Coolant Header Tank - ~39K miles
    3) Resistor - ~40K miles; turns out a resistor was causing the car not to "shut down" completely and caused the battery to drain
    4) HK Radio Head Unit - ~40K miles; known issue, would cause sound to surge in and out

    Just as an FYI, all replaced under CPO warranty. John
