A fond and somewhat sad farewell
 

Hey everyone,

The time has come for me to move on. The beloved 2001 i30 which I've driven since day one is ready for a replacement. The car now has 136k miles and still running strong. However, I need a different vehicle now that my needs have changed, and an opportunity came up that I could not pass up. This was a tough decision to make as I had planned to take the Infiniti to 200k before moving on.

A friend of mine has expressed an interest in my i30, and I am happy to see it go to a good home. Hopefully it serves her as well as it did my family. I may be back from time to time to help diagnose and repair things if the need arises.

I am only hoping that I can find a site as helpful and friendly for my "new" 2003 Toyota 4Runner Limited. I thought it was kinda funny that I am going from something called "Infiniti" to a "Limited." Like I've hit the other side of the spectrum or something.

Thank you everyone, it's been a great trip.

Farewell and good luck in your endeavors.

I found myself going to a Lexus because because I couldn't find a suitable Nissan product. Toyotas are pretty reliable and you got a year model before Toyota had some big screwups.

I find myself in a similar place with the 2000SE we purchased in November of 2000. After 130k miles I think it is time to say bye to Max. Good luck with the new ride.

They don't make em like they use too...good luck bro.

what needs made you change from sedan to suv ?

i like those, the rear window goes down like a typ door window so kool

and I agree with Dennis, that year is still in the good era of toyota

Well, with renovating a house and several other activities, I've been needing more hauling space than the i30 can provide.

There's a more honest layer to this too... my father offered to sell his to me. It's got under 50,000 miles and he bought it new. Garage kept, maintained well, and a trouble-free truck. I figure this is a rare gem (much like the i30 was) and is an offer too good to pass up.

oh i hear ya, sounds like bulletproof deal. and roger that
