Should you keep it?
Keeping vs replacing your Toyota Sienna
- Cheapest year to keep: 2017, at about $5,421 a year.
- Fewest repair-heavy complaints: 2016.
- Older isn't always cheaper: value lost shrinks as a car ages, but maintenance and repairs grow, from $1,186 a year for a 2020 to $2,411 for a 2006.
A paid-off car is usually the cheapest car you can drive, even with repairs: a replacement starts losing value the day you buy it and comes with tax, fees and often a loan. Switching tends to pay only when repairs get large and frequent, or a much more efficient car cuts fuel costs enough. Keep or Switch compares your Toyota Sienna against any replacement, including the costs of switching.
