I just got my 91 LS400, 158,000 miles, a couple of months ago, and already, i've had to get a new battery, a brand new rack and pinion system, and now, my alternator is starting to go...
I took it to a mechanic and he found two major issues with it. He said that my upper control arm is effed up and that he would fix that and my alternator for $880 out the door.
Two questions:
1) Is this a good deal?
2) Am I better off just selling the car, or is $880, plus my other $275, just a part of normal wear and tear?
Besides that, the mechanic said that the car is perfect, but i'm just not sure if i should fork up $880 for an upper control arm and an alternator.
Thanks in advance for ur time,
Gaz
