Well folks....it's time to retire the old girl as she's starting to require too much money to make financial sense. The transfer case needs to be replaced ($3,700) and the trailing arm bushing is worn on the right side ($400) so we are going to ditch her. Farewell my friend!
Maybe would be worth saving if a transfer case could be found at a junk yard. They can be found on ebay for around $400. Also sounds excessive to charge $400 to replace a bushing on the rear trailing arm.Well folks....it's time to retire the old girl as she's starting to require too much money to make financial sense.

I know that if my transfer case ever went bad it would be hard to find a used replacement for the 2.7 engine because starting in 2003 the 3.5 became the engine to be paired with AWD....
I stand corrected. Why is it so hard to find a used transfer case for the 2.7? Was the 2.7 a less popular engine choice after the 3.5 became available?Huhh?? I own a 2008 GLS AWD 2.7L, 4spd auto. AFAIK, this configuration was made until 2009.

How much "repair" money was spent
Obviously your experience with the car is positive
Taking a risk on a 2010 with the tranny issues?
So, how many times have you replaced the timing belt?Good luck with the '10. My wife said 300,000 when we bought hers. I thought she was nuts. 250,000 now, 50,000 to go.
That is great to know theFe can go for that long. I am just under 100k on my '02 and hoping to get another 100k off of it. What kind of repairs have you done? Anything major?Good luck with the '10. My wife said 300,000 when we bought hers. I thought she was nuts. 250,000 now, 50,000 to go.

I changed the timing belt idlers and water pump the first time at 141,000.So, how many times have you replaced the timing belt?

Aside from the regular upkeep, i've replacedd the high pressure power steering hose, vehicle speed sensor, trans input and output sensors, shocks and struts. I have it in my garage now for more shocks. Been a great car, we'll definately get another. We also have a 2001 elantra that has been just as good. It only has 70,000 on it so it is still an infant.
