I have a 2002 (!) Sequoia that I bought some years ago with total

confidence when it had 120k miles. I wanted a no frills V-8 that could tow, and last another 10 years. I change the oil at 5,000 miles with high mileage synthetic, and that's it. This engine could last forever, IMO. I would be a bit disappointed with no interior air filter (couldn't believe that part, had to look up to confirm), cheap plastic parts here and there, etc. - but not at the price I paid. I got it for 6k, and was thinking 600/year for this vehicle if I was right on it lasting 10 years. I think I'll get that easily - it may last longer than me, ha.

But you have to buy a 20 (or 25) year old truck to import -- EDGEMAN 01/09/2020 09:20AM

If that were the case, u might get extradited if you had dealer service it. ** -- Hokie360 01/08/2020 6:00PM
