2004 4R headgasket leak

167k miles....fix or sell??

 

It's in good shape for an 04. Nothing else major. Only mod is stereo. Was just starting to think of making more changes when this happened. If I don't fix it I'd sell it and my GMC truck and get a Tundra. Just worry this is a sign of more issues to come. But then 5k vs 40k....makes me think fix it.

 

I’d go for a new Tundra.

 

If you're close to NC and want to sell it, I'd be interested.

In case you can't tell, my vote would be fix. My other car is an '04 4R and i love it.

 

I'm in Cali....Leaning towards fix. I've also got an 02 that will go to my daughter when she starts driving in a year. But man a new truck would be nice! Just don't want the payments.

 

I'd get a few quotes and bite the bullet. I bought my 4r at 90k miles and aside from CV axles, oil and bearings, which are all service items, I've had a trouble free 60k miles in it. I'm confident it would go for another 150k too....

Car payments suck, head gasket job is probably only 2 or 3 new car payments worth. The depreciation on your 4r is pretty much flat now, New car will be losing hundreds per month
