Consider moving to a place w/o snow. So much nicer, not just regarding your vehicles ...

218k on my Sequoia. Only complaint is the trans blowing up OD at 115k. Common problem, especially when towing in OD (P.O. towed ...). Other than that it has held up nicely - especially impressed with the interior and all electronics (minus the stereo).

It is getting long in the tooth:
- Needs another timing belt service
- Balljoints starting to leak up front
- Tires
- Cracked windshield
- Trans mount
- rear hatch shocks

I am torn if I should let it go or repair. Unfortunately, even DIY, the above list is $2.5k. May be better used against a newer one? Problem is that with $2/gal gas, these old gas hogs have become MORE expensive. A 2005 Sequoia with around $100k is easily $15k around here ...
