Gary, that's a tough decision. If only the crystal ball worked!
At that many miles, even though it still runs great, there has to come a time when things are going to start breaking.
Then what? Invest in a string of major repairs?
We like to think "Fix the engine, drive another 200,000..." It never works that way. Next thing you know, you have $4000 invested in a $2000 truck that you can't trust to take out of town.
At least that has been my experience...
I recently sold my old 01 Silverado. I loved that truck, if I could buy another new one exactly like it, I would in a second!
But had to face reality, at 260,000 things were going wrong. Leaking steering, ABS problems, electronic glitches... I just couldn't trust it any more, didn't want to get into the money pit syndrome, so I sold it, got a newer truck.
It's not perfect, but at 40,000 miles I can pretty much count on it to get me there and back, peace of mind is worth something!
