Yeaaaah hopefully my wifes 2013 keeps up till my car is paid off. Just replaced my 2008 with a 2021.
Thought i heard to replace the chain they have to rip out the engine to replace that….
Change the oil every 3000 miles, use synthetic or synthetic blend(dexos) and you will have your best chances.
If you need to replace the timing chain, you replace it with a new engine. Maybe you can get lucky and your mechanic is a rockstar that catches it at the right time and you trust them enough to spend a few grand replacing the chain, but the majority of cases are that the pistons fucks the valves like a Tijuana hooker you pick off the pole.
Right? Might as well at that point but then you’re dropping even more money in on a 11+ year old vehicle with all that wear and tear.
We’re already having fun where the front passenger window doesn't like to roll down from the front passenger side switch. Just haven't done the troubleshooting to see if it is the switches, wiring or motor thats at fault. Well I don’t think the back windows will go down from their switches either. Almost like child lock got turned on and stuck even thought its off.
