Looks like I might be retiring my 2007 Tundra EDIT: $7K for all needed repairs on the Tundra. Under 100k miles. Not all repairs must be done immediately, but all probably within a year.
I’m just starting the search. I want used, probably certified, good fuel economy, all weather handling ability, and decent cargo space. I like a lot of room in the cabin (I’ve been using Suburu station wagons recently, and they are very cramped). I also will not tolerate digital surveillance, or subscription-only access to physically installed hardware. And I too, come from the Tom Paris school of wanting physical buttons dials and switches for everything (the displays in the suburus are blinding at night, even the speedometer! (and I do NOT need to know my fuel economy from second to second, Suburu - How could you possibly thing flashing that in my face with a bright light is useful in any way?!)))
Here’s the estimate. I asked about selling, and he offered me a grand, because there’s some dents on the drivers side rear door and bed.
Was the exhaust pipe/parking brake/other stuff that sounds like it is part of the undercarriage damage from weathering/rust possibly from salty winter roads or rough treatment like bottoming out?
Curious because of the low mileage and type of repairs suggest rough weather conditions. There are some cars to avoid in areas with a lot of salt in the air or with a lot of snow and roads being salted.
Three years in Anchorage, although they don’t salt the roads there, two years in Massachusetts (Massachusetts loves to salt the roads), eight years in Rhode Island I don’t think Rhode Island salts the roads either honestly
A fucking thousand American dollars for an 07 Tundra with less than a 100k. L o fucking L.
These dudes should at least lube you up and get you drunk first before they absolutely fuck the shit out of you.
A reach around was not even mentioned!
