15 years for a VDUB is fantastic! Clutch is a regular maintenance item. Love a girl who can drive a stick!

The miss just got rid of her 2011 Highlander for the 2005 MB. It was a major headache from day 1. My experience is the lousy mechanics at the dealer. The Highlander needs new brake lines and major front-end work to pass inspection so we lost money selling to a wholesaler. Only 98K on the clock. No more Toyota for us!
