Comes down to personal choice and commitment. I made my mind up a couple of years ago I'm going to keep the BA until the engine dies. It currently has 214,000kms on it i.e. I am not prepared to open the engine to fix something, once it blows, its over. This means I'm committed and prepared to fork out $ to fix safety issues on the body....and won't feel guilty about it. It also means no skimping on oil changes. I reckon mine will do 400,000kms (5.4L 3v). I see I6 taxis doing 500,000kms+
