Hello everybody, I have a sad message to report. My Yaris suffered a capital engine damage yesterday on the highway and unfortunately could not be revived. In clear terms: the crankshaft bearings are broken, and according to the mechanic nothing can be saved that moves in the economic context. The Yaris is year 07/1999 and had run 182,000 km, of which I had it 70,000 km. The maintenance was always carried out and even Toyota speaks of bad luck. Toyota assumes that they would hold between 200,000 – 250,000 km, can be less, can be more. To what extent my motorway year 2007, with 50,000 km, of which 95% highway, can bear with blame no one affirms or negates. It also makes little sense to speculate about what the cause was ultimately, since it is not clear and the mileage of the engine does not allow any conclusions. He now stands with a friendly Nissan dealer and gets a new one. s heart. This has offered me to install a replacement engine with 40,000 km. With all that and all that the cost for this is 1,600 €, then the car is ready and ready to drive. I have to drive in front of the car for at least 5 years, because I simply do not know any better for my needs, which financially corresponds to my possibilities or which I am willing to pay. My future driving performance will be about 12,000 km/a. As far as so well. What do you think of the offer? r Decision for the replacement engine, for another car? Is there a better solution from an economic point of view, I found none. sad greeting Jon
