Nothing like when your hvac box(The unit that plays the biggest part in a cars ac) takes a crap along with a couple other things.... looks like I'm car hunting this weekend. On one hand, It's always nice to have new things. On the other, it sucks to have a car payment. Oh well.

Got a TPMS sensor ($80) replaced today. The battery ($121) got replaced last Thursday. Found out that I have a leaking steering rack with a cracked boot ($690) and a leaking rear strut ($405). Fun times indeed!
Oh, and did I mention the cracked dash that Toyota is going to repair under warranty next week? I'm in car repair purgatory...

Soup and salad yesterday.

2007 Toyota Avalon XLS. I'm looking at a 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid Limited to replace this car or get a 2013 BMW 320i fully loaded.

Wow! That's a new one. I've heard of all sorts of car problems but never a cracked dash.

Oh they have had this on the Camry, Sienna and Avalon. Probably poor material selection for an injection molded component.

Looks good. Just a bit high on mileage. Do you live in Sparta? I have a friend who lives there. I used to come to Grand Rapids for work (an acquisition) in 2007 quite a bit and then switched over to Europe for the next three years.

I do. That mileage is kinda low honestly, All the rest are over 100k and my current car has 96k on it. And frankly, I don't put a whole lot on for miles anyhow.

My last two cars had 25K and 31K respectively. Currently they have 149K and 79K respectively. The first one was acquired in 2004 and the Toyota came along in 2012.
