What is considered routine repairs on cars?

What is considered “routine” things that need replacing on cars? I’m debating whether to sell my car or not… almost 90k miles and needs $2k headlight replaced because LED light went out, cam phasers need replacing, power seat motor is going out for third row seats, trim is peeling inside… I’ve previously replaced water pump/thermostat but that was the only big thing. Is this normal stuff or is this car a lemon?

2K for a headlight seems alot too much!

There’s no way that a headlight is 2k

That seems like a lot to be going wrong with a vehicle with that low of mileage imo.

I’m almost afraid to ask how old the car is… i have a 2008 with 110 miles on it and it’s been in 2 accidents that has less issues.

Are you replacing the bulb or the whole freaking assembly?

Y’all i don’t think it’s JUST the headlight. She mentioned other things besides the headlights…lol normal fixes would be oil change, lights, tire rotation, wipers. A few honorable mentions of battery, shocks and struts, axel, speakers - things likely but more expensive for an older car.
