Default Help.

So... My car is a 2006 GS300 AWD with about 200,000 km's.

Burns 1L+ oil every 1000 kms.

The car still runs decent, no check engine lights, no rust, interior still decent.

I have replaced battery + brakes (oem pads & rotors) + fixed major exhaust leak within the last year or so.

I don't know if I should drive it till the wheels falls off or trade it in while I can still get something for it....

I was also thinking of engine swap maybe... Is there anything that can be done in terms on this? Put in a 350 motor or something else instead?

Any help/input appreciated!

the options are up to you, have you claimed your recall for the engine rebuild on your vehicle?

U can trade it in but I don't know how much you'd get for a 200k km car.....

A swap would be pretty dope though, like a 350 or a 430 or a 460 engine would work, you'll need harnesses and everything else to follow with it though.
