I'm having a hard time deciding on replacing the shocks on my '10 TL. I'm in the process of putting a new clutch in and everything is pretty much out, so it's easy access; 3 bolts per side and it's a done deal. The car has just a bit over 100,000 miles on it. Normally I get new shocks every 60-80,000 miles, but since it's all highway miles, I hadn't replaced them at my normal scheduled time. I will be selling the car in about 18 months, so I'm wondering if I should just leave it as is since the car will be gone soon, or do it anyways, enjoy the new suspension and use it as a selling point when it comes to selling the car to show that I've taken good care of it.

What's your take on it? Thanks.

If I were in your shoes, I'd get the front shocks replaced and continue on. With that many miles on the car the front shocks are bound to have wear that will be noticeable when you get on the highway with new shocks.

Enjoy the next 18 months of owning the car again vs owning it for 18 months and not enjoying it as much plus you get the extra $ for maintaining the car. You can also sell the factory ones on acurazine and hopefully make some $ back.
