AppleJack Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Hi all, typical debate to sell or keep. Here are my stats on my car and I thought I'd get your thoughts. 1. 1992 - SC400 - 420,000 km 2. Between 300,000 - 400,000 km: rebuilt alternator + power steering pump + starter motor, new radiator. 3. Lots of rubber on hand - have full set of fresh winter tires, and another pair of new michelins... 4. Slight lag on transmission when placing into drive or reverse before it engages 5. AC has leak - after a charge it only lasts a month or so 6. Rust starting on rear right fender - very little 7. Instrument cluster needles not illuminating along with climate control display zonked out ... Engine runs great, and I've always done highway miles. Babied it with synthetic every 5,000 km and seems to burn 1 quart every 5,000km. Oiled the underbody for the last 5 years for which it has only seen winters (marriage!) ... Sell ? or drive her into the ground ? Whats going to go next - tranny? timing belt?, injectors?, wheel bearings??? I can't imagine getting 500,000 km on a car - but I love it..... Thoughts? thanks
MMCtuner Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Keep it! Maybe some inspection to your tranny would help. The timing belt must be changed between 100k miles intervals.
J.Wills Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Keep it! and ride it to the wheels fall off...LOL How much could you possibly expect to get for it anyway with all that mileage???
