Its funny you mention 90mph... That just so happens to be the speed where the wheel vibration smooths out, making cruising more pleasant.
btw, recently had last of CPO coverage and they flushed the brake fluid and also replaced a gasket/oil line from the oil filter.

my car's issues were with beaten up tie rods (which CPO doesn't cover). had that done out of pocket, but the rest of the work they did under CPO was in the thousands easily.

my car had already gotten a new water pump and HPFPs by owner before me.

i also paid to have tranny fluid flushed and replaced (out of pocket) and i guess i'm just waiting for the turbos to fail (if they do).
