Hey guys
Was hoping someone can give me some insight on what i should do. I've had my IS250 since 2012, no issues whatsoever its been a beast of a car. I love it. But! And here it comes for the last month or so I've had a VSC light come on constantly at first i thought nothing of it cause I've had it pop up before for it to disappear a day or two later but for the last month its been on constant, didnt drive it much finally managed to go to my service place (Castl Hill Toyota) to get the problem assest, after running it on the diagnostics machine all the codes coming back were pointing to the gearbox so they refereed me to australia transmission center in parramatta because they don't work on transmissions. So i went there today only to get the worst news my gearbox is on the way out and needs replacing the price he gave me is ridiculous though he said if you do it, you need to do it properly and quoted around $5500.
I knew it would be expensive if it was the gearbox but surely its not that much? I was thinking around the $3000 mark.
Worst thing is i just got married and have a kid of the way.
Any suggestions?
Anyone?
Cheers.
