Ditto. One way I use to decide if to keep a vehicle is how much it would cost per year versus a replacement. I also take into account what the replacement would cost and also the deal-killers for keeping my Blazer. With my small lift, upgraded cooling system, upgraded brakes, and only 30k on a rebuilt transmission with an extra cooler, I'd be hard-pressed to find even a 10 y.o. replacement for under $12k and under 125k miles that do can much the same as what I have.

Currently my deal-killers for keeping the Blazer would include a blown engine, blown transmission (unlikely now), or the electrical system/computers burning up. Then I would likely pull the trigger and look for a 4Runner.

 

That's a lot of money I didn't even pay that for my blazer lol. That hub assembly isn't that hard of a change but if u can afford it that's awsome should check into doing it yourself tho
