willard 0 #2 May 12, 2007 Damn. You figure it would be good for at least 310,000. Congrats on a good service life. Now park it in a place of respect (she deserves it) and go buy a new one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #3 May 12, 2007 Not enough nickel in the casting, 100k is thought to be a full lifetime for domestic vehicles. Most people would buy a new one after that many miles and the ones that were intent on keeping it could pay a grand for a rebuild, not counting the cost of removal and installation. All of these variables are factored in with businesses like taxi and shuttle vans. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matt1215 0 #5 May 12, 2007 Quote My GM powererd suv has just died after 300,000 300k sounds like a pretty good run, how long do you expect it to last ? Like Willard said, time to park your baby in a place of respect and buy a new one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeteW 0 #7 May 14, 2007 I own a 97 4runner with almost 200k on it. Runs like new. Just bought my gf a 90 4runner with 150k on it. Doen't run like new, but it does run strong and drives great. I used to be die hard Ford. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
