We've had our 2006 Landcruiser since she left the showroom floor - she's practically a member of the family. However, at just above 365,000 miles, she needs a couple of major repairs. It looks like the upper and lower seals need replacing and the mechanic suggests we replace all of the seals. The suspension is bad. In addition, one O2 sensor is failing and the catalytic converter needs to be replaced.
Our dealer quoted north of $10,000 and our trusty independent Toyota mechanic quoted more like $6,000.
What do you think? If we spend the money to fix her, am I looking at other costly repairs in a couple of months? If we fix her up, will she be good to go another 100,00 miles? How would you decide on whether to spend the money fixing the Landcruiser or making a down payment on something else?
