Not as much as the newer cars. ALL GMs are expensive to fix. They are the top company at separating owners from their money after the sale. None of what you mentioned is uncommon on any car. You would be a lot of money ahead fixing those things vs. making many monthly payments on something newer, and with something newer, you'll STILL have regular huge repair bills.

The shaking concerns me though. The steering and suspension systems should be inspected at a tire and alignment shop. Your car is not known for steering parts falling apart like on many Fords, but you don't want to take a chance on worn parts that can lead to loss of control and a crash.
