Since I got my TB I periodically go to the local PYP and there are usually 5-6 in the yard. Today I went and found 21! A few had minor scrapes and bumps but most looked good. It looks like people are giving up on maintaining and repairing them.
I guess the idea of the shadetree mechanic is going away. Dealer cost of repair is so high that people decide to scrap them.
I was there to pull a g80 out of an Envoy. Looked nice - no visible damage. So I'll have a 4x4 with a locker - that should improve off road capability considerably.
Now that I've had a TB for a year and a half, I like it as much as the day I first drove it. I'm disappointed to see so many of them scrapped.
I intend to keep my 02 for at least another 5 years. PYP and Ebay combined with my labor will make maintenance and repair a very moderate expense.
DON'T GIVE UP!
