It's an extremely LOW MILAGE car at under 70K after all this time. U should keep it. Most of our ES (at least, those who come for meetup, are hitting w...

Thanks for all the advices, bros. Decided to bring forward the change to 70k for the peace of mind since I will still have to do it whether now (70k) or at 80k.

Amp on standby
Why is there a need for the amp to be on standby when the car is off. It is drawing current from battery when my car is not used. I drive it over the weekend and my batt is low during start of engine. I m think of having a switch before the power cable to amp.
