The wife called this afternoon and told me "it's making that noise again", which is a low-pitched whine that reminds me of the Ford Escort my step mom had. Weeeeehhhhhh when you accelerate. Much less so at idle.
Now, being that the timing belt has not been changed that's the first thing on my mind. She says, "why don't we just trade it in. I don't know. Will we be paying a lot for repairs?" and I told her to cool it and said repair is part of the ownership of any vehicle.
But now I'm thinking...we are so impressed with our Toyota and her family has become total Toyota fans. So are we. We have a joint loan on our vehicles which is tied in so tight..both vehicles are under one joint loan for 1.9% APR. I get the feeling if we trade our vehicle we won't be getting th enew one under that awesome APR. I also don't want to stick a lot of money into this Hyundai either.. we are thinking of a Highlander or a 4 Runner (we need 4WD). We have roughly $5k left to pay on the vehicle before the loan is satisfied.
What do you think?
