AC evaporator + new AC compressor

I have a 2005 4runner with 189,000 miles - LL OEM tranny and engine V6.
Runner is in Nassau Bahamas.

We had AC failures after 10 years but replacing them with new evaporator and new compressor brought the car back to original. We also purchased a new Camry for the daughter who graduated from Florida State and landed a job in 10 days with a giant stock broker.

Parts from Amazon for AC were about $220. labor was $800.

Never owned any car where the OEM water pump didn't fail. Toyotas are built tougher. No rust on the body anywhere after 15 years of ownership.

How do you explain that?

 

Do you have a question?
