    Tires?

    Tires?

    the 2 tires are about 30,000 miles old, the 3rd tire is 13,800 miles and the 4th is the brand new. Does this affect the drivetrain just like those AWD Subarus?

    My 4Runner 4wd is already 122000 miles and differential and transfer case fluid not changed. It still drives like a dream. I heard that if you change the fluid it will hurt your car more since those fluids never been changed since. Is that true?

    shall i get a loan?

    I would be paying somewhere 300 to 400 dollars more in fuel for the 4runner[$700-800 per month gas on 4runner vs 300-400 dollars per month gas for corolla]. That's a bit more for the monthly payments for a brand new corolla. But you have to pay the corolla insurance. it's break even if you...

    shall i get a loan?

    My 2005 toyota 4Runner V8, four wheel drive, is a gas guzzler but have been paid off already since 2011. Shall i get a new car loan for a fuel economy car like a brand new corolla so i can save on gas but pay on monthly loans? Or shall i just pay for the high gas on the 4Runner but no loans...
