New car love fades quickly. Fix what needs fixing, keep maintaining like you have been, enjoy the savings and take a dream vacation instead. I sold my 2000 GS 400 at 170,000 miles and got a 2010 LS 460 AWD. If I had it to do over again, I would have kept it! YMMV.

How widespread is that gear-hunting issue?

Any advice? I really like Matador Red Metallic with Parchment interior. Time to replace my 2000 GS 400 with 170k mi. before anything goes wrong with it...
