Keep it?

[Shinerbock]

Howdy,
I have a 99 100 with 114k miles on it. I have dropped alot of money onto it in the last two years. starter, steering rack, multiple coil packs... and now a TPS et al.
I am worried that the parts replacements won't stop.
Have I done enough to get another 80k out of her?
I am doomed to purchase a Sienna if this thing won't stop going to the shop.
Opinons?
Thanks
S

You shouldn't have anymore high dollar issues, assuming you have done the 90k service already. The problems you had are typical for a 14 year old LC. Do you take it to a mechanic or DIY? It just depends how you use it. Don't get a mini van!

If you are going to buy an used van, you may have to do the same thing.

Radiator is another expensive item that can go out. Mine started leaking at 150k

My 99 had the brake master cylinder fail, which is a problem on the 98-99's, at 144K miles before I bought it. Brand new brake master cylinder and brake booster will cost $2K.

Also, I assume the 90K service has been done on yours?

Bald headed Nellie! It's not identified as a luxury SUV for naught.

Man, I have 204k miles on my 99 LX - I haven't had ANY of those issues (well, 1 coil pack 2 yrs ago...). That's it. I'm wondering at what point things will actually start failing on my vehicle. So far so good. Going to be time to do tires/front rotors again soon

Tie rods, ball joints, suspension, etc.

I'm surprised your steering rack needed replacement already.

I'll trade my '92 80 for yours... I am looking to move up to a vehicle with an 8 cylinder motor, something with a little more pep for towing our boat.

Let me know...

Thanks for the replies. 90k service was completed. I am not going to sell. I think she is good to go for a few more years. If I do have to do the brakes/master cylinder, I will post it here to sell.
I appreciate the feedback. Love the cruiser. It is my third. Hate mini vans.
Thanks
