Replacing drivetrain
I have a chance to get a job I want but it will be 300 mile commute 5 days a week. Sounds crazy but I have to many details to include why. Problem is this is going to be 75k miles a year. I hope to do this a max of 2 years. I already have 120k miles on my 06 HB. I dont want to buy a new car every 4 years. What about replacing engine and transmission instead of buying a new car? What else is going to need to be replaced? I hope to get 300k miles before replacing engine. Currently running full synthetic oil and using no oil between changes. I have been looking on Ebay and can get a low mileage engine and 5 speed for around 1,000 dollars. What else will need to replaced?
I would rather spend 2,500 dollars to rebuild then 13k for a new Yaris |
