Craig in Mass Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I have a 2005 Sienna with 210,000 miles. I have given it to my son who does not have much money and a new (used) car would be a struggle for him. The van is functional but needs shocks, struts, and a timing belt (and the ABS don't work). Would you just let it ride until total failure or put some money into it to keep it going? What is the outside life (mileage) expectancy for an '05 Sienna? This has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned (I'm 60 years old). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermancan Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Change just the timing belt right now. If the kid is hard on money, keep the engine going. The rest will give him motivation to get out there, keep moving your money maker, get workin and work your way up. We did just fine in cars with no ABS growing up. Dont let the brainwash box in your living room get to your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermancan Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Oh and any ABS system that goes in peril, and dash lights on. Is made to safe out, so to speak and it manual overrides into a normal condition. You have and are checking brake fluid levels and looking behind each tire to make sure you have no brake fluid leaks or seaps or all that , Right ?
