I too had a windfall a couple weeks ago. My neice had a 1998 Lexus with a good bit of miles on it. She bought a new ford SUV, didn't want the Lexus anymore. The bad was the front suspension was totally worn out, and i mean wore out, it was wearing tires out in 3,000 miles on the front. she was going to junk it. I said please don't, so she gave it to me for free. We did a doner give no taxes to me for the state. I know Outlaw it's a nippo car, but it get's 30 mpg, VS my duelly that get's 10.5 mpg, $46.50 and the 2 yr lic and title it's mine. Little did i know how hard it was to rebuild the front end on one of these cars. bought a complete rebuild kit on line for $162.43, minus struts. I have so many cars in my shop i had to do it on the aporn by one door. I know that most of you are not 73 yrs. old and doing that is tough. I did the drivers side on sunday afternoon, it was only 95 degrees heat index 104, i was so wore out and sore from working on the ground, i took 2 days off and did the passengers side on wensday again 95 plus degrees. The new tires came today, and i had them installed a balanced and it drives like new. I would recommend you don't do this at home if you can afford to have someone do it for you. I think i have one or two fingers that's not cut and a couple knucles that not that doesn't have scabs on them. but in the end it's all good, and really appreciate the gift. I'll drive it until it dies and save ton's of gas money.
It's all about family, which i appreciate mine very much.
