Hi Folks,
I just purchased a 2002 Lexus RX with 154K miles for 3300. A week after I bought it, I had to replace the AC Compressor and the Alternator which cost me about a $1000 with parts and labor. Then 2 weeks later I come to find that i need to replace one of the engine coils which is located in the back of the engine which is hard to get to. So the mechanic says if you're going to replace one, you might as well replace the other 2 back there b/c it's a tough spot to get to. Each engine coil cost about $100 then after adding new spark plugs the job with labor is gonna cost me about $750. I figure I'm probably gonna need to add a battery, do a brake fluid flush, transmission flush, coolant flush so i'm not sure how much extra that's going to run me but my question is... Not to mention the airbag light is on and the VSC light is on as well. Is this thing worth keeping? Or should i just cut my losses now while i can? At this point I'm skeptical, what if the transmission fails on me, then i'll be really screwed. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!
