Time To Change?

[Damer]

My RX (04 plate, 56k miles) has just been in for its annual (less than 10k miles a year) service and MOT. Having just had the sunrrof motor changed a couple of weeks back.

It needed 2 new front tyres, rear discs and pads and also needs a replacement shocker as the air suspension is leaking.

After over 4 years of happy uneventful money is it time to trade in and move on before it becomes a money pit?

There is only the sun roof motor which would concern me here. The rest is normal wear and tear and does not indictae anything amiss.

Well the air suspension will be the most expensive to fix; the sunroof motor is a known problem and kinda pales in comparison to the costs associated with the air suspension.

Watch out for the handbrake cables that sieze on these cars though...
