2005 RX330 -- Worth Repairing?
I'm curious to know the experience of others who have held on to their RX models for decades, for hundreds of thousands of miles.
I am the original owner of a 2005 Lexus RX330 with 282,700 miles.
It's run great for 21+ years but now I'm looking at a hefty repair to keep it going.
It needs front and rear struts and coils replaced.
It also needs both control arms and bushings replaced.
The best estimate I've received for this work is $4084.
Within the past year, I had the timing belt replaced, radiator replaced, and the oil pan replaced for another $4000. That was a good investment, in my opinion, because I got another year of use out of the car.
But now I'm wondering if this is a harbinger of things to come, and if I'm to have to start sinking more and more money into this.
I had thought to reach 300k and 350k, but now I'm wondering if I've reached the upper bound, if it's time to buy the next new car.
Insights? Thanks.
