Hi Everyone,
I inherited a very nice 2010 LR4 HSE over a year ago. The only thing is it was high mileage. The body and interior are in excellent condition, it has upgraded wheels and an upgraded exhaust system. I absolutely LOVE this car, however, it has almost 230,000 miles on it.
I am noticing a tick in the lifter that is getting worse and the transmission ,while still working fine is showing some signs of not functioning like it did last year. It's not bad but something I am noticing, almost like a "sticking" when you take off and the rev of things.
Here is my problem - I love this car, I am afraid repairing it will be more than the car is worth.
Do you have any ideas what I should do? Will this body style go up in value over time and therefore justify the repairs? Should I trade it in or sell it while it's still running? Do you think a European repair shop or salvage yard would be interested in purchasing it for parts? I know the seats, exhaust and wheels alone are worth a bit not counting all of the other good parts on it.
Just trying to weigh out my options as a single mom...
TIA
