Also, I forgot to mention that the shocks are also way past due for replacement.

The book value of the car is about two cups of coffee. (Or maybe one if it's a Starbucks.) I may have someone look at the wheel bearings and steering fluid leak. If I can get those fixed, everything else is luxury.

It's a complicated equation, to decide if it's time to purchase another vehicle.

Need for dependable vehicle +
Money available for paying cash or down payment +
Money available for monthly payment +
If loan is needed, your needs for length of loan +
Sentimental value to you of the L300
=
Ability/willingness to get another vehicle

My two cents. Good luck to you. :D

Almost sounds like what I told him in a way.
Basically
We'll offer all the opinions you can handle; and different ways to consider it.
But I'm/we're not going to tell you what to do, it's up to you to decide since you know all the details.

Ahh great minds ......... always make sure to CTA (CTA = Cover their aka mules)

Of course. I'm not expecting legal advice here. Just looking for opinions/viewpoints, and maybe a little bit of humor.

Will it run for 24 hours straight? Sounds like a candidate for 24 Hours of LeMons:
