I don't either really. The other stuff added up but there was quite a bit to go through. Car has never been back to the dealer since he bought it, so 13 years of just oil changes and a lot of sitting in the garage.

New batteries were $1600. It also got new belts, had an exhaust sensor fault as well. Bill ended up at $12k. Truck that brought it back was a covered flatbed tow truck, didn't know there was such a thing.

Smokey burnout will soften them, and you'll still need to replace
