Replace the water pump or sell it?

We have 3 yotas in the house. Our 3rd veh is a 2003 SR5 4Runner I purchased new. 245000 on the v6 now. Long story short water pump took a dump, $600 to replace. Machanic says no guarantee it will last 2 weeks or 2 years. He could find no evidence of water in the oil either on the dip stick or in the filler cap. Do you roll the dice at $600 or junk her out for $1000?

It hard to make the decision to let her go after all these years.

 

It only needs a water pump?, hell I'll give ya $1000 for it

 

If it was a 2003 Tacoma I'd say never let it die, but since it's a 4Runner (and not even a 1st gen 4Runner) I'd say sell it. But that's all up to you.

 

you might can replace it yourself for cost of parts...

 

Fix it

 

Any other known problems with it?

If not, fix it.

 

fix it yourself then sell it. --- or get a second opinion about the water pump.

 

Gave my machanic the green light to fix, don't need a timing belt because it's chain. Keep your fingers crossed. It's been a great vehicle.

 

I think it's a good call man.

 

having traded my 03 sr5 for a 12 tacoma, im still sick, lol. it had 170,000 and other than the tailgate latch problems it was a great ride, gladly have it back

 

@DAY5 where are you located?

 

WATER PUMP REPLACED NO WARPED HEADS RUNNING GREAT, LETS HOPE FOR 2000000 MORE MILES.

 

FLORIDA

 

good choice

 

Opposite corner of the country, I was going to make an offer on it, but I agree that you made the right decision.

 

2 million more miles would probably be a record breaker.

 

Oops, my fingers got carried away

 

Brett, thanks for the complement
