alright so i have around 200k on my 03' LE. is it worth it for me to put money into such as, rims, tinted windows, leds/angels, paint job, body kit, k&n filter/intake? How much life do you think is left in this car? Mostly highway miles. thanks, recomendations and more help

its got 200k and its your DD. why put money into it. just drive it until it dies, might be a while tho :P.

put money into the gen6 or maybe even the future rolla S

No one knows expectancy of car. It can crap out tomorrow for no apparent reason or warning. It also goes by how well you maintain the car.

BTW, why even consider modding the car at this late in the stage? Like CamrySExxx said, save the money and put it towards a newer car. If you put all that money into the 2003 car and it craps out...what now? You just waisted money. But its your money. You do what you want to do.

I dont know why people ask what they should do. Its not our money. if you're asking me, might as well give me the money since I'm the one deciding.

dcemureviews, he ask for opinion. LOL

Anyway, if it were me I would put money into the air filter to improve fuel. But not needed. And the same reason with HID headlight.. just improve night driving.. but again it is not needed. Best is of cause to save the $.

That car is going the distance. LOL

I would say get tinted windows only, since you have to much miles on it, I don't think it's even worth it.

look at the gen3-4 section. they thought the camry had life- and it still does.

liquidi3ladz · 07-07-2008, 06:07 PM

If you take really good care of it, you should have another 100k

Gellenole · 07-07-2008, 09:44 PM

DAMN! 200k!?!?! I hope my car would hold up to that with the way I drive...

Or go the cheaper road and just get the hmmm.. that reflective sheet to put on the windshield when parking.

Tint is about $200 and if he can live this long without it, I don't think it matter much anymore. The windshield reflective sheet is just to cool it down. But than.. maybe just roll down the window. Just don't leave anything valuable in the car.

I love driving old car for their "Nobody want" and "not care about dent/scratch".
