What to do?

Our 2003 Sequoia has 95,000 miles on it and its time for new tires. So do I drop almost 1k on tires and alignment and keep it or get rid of it and get something else? There is a small loan left on the vehicle, our other car is paid for. This is also the business car so payments aren't a horrible thing, reliability is more important to me!

I know my dad (ozarkbassin) will reply and I know his opinion is drive it till the wheels fall off http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif

</TD></TR></TABLE>I agree with your dad. Until you are spending more on monthy repairs than a monthly payment it only makes sense to drive it till the wheels fall off. Especially if you have other means of transportation. It's the only way to get the "real" value of any automobile.

I agree! Mine had 11 miles on it when I got it and around 120,00 on it now.
Looks like hell but gets me to work and to the lake so all is good. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

Sorry Kirk, but I've got to agree with everyone else. If it's doing the job for you, throw a new set of skins on it and drive on. My wife's 2000 Toyota Avalon has 130K and it's just getting nicely broken in. Ditto my '04 Yukon XL with 75K. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
