After three years, attractive technology upgrades at reasonable prices are likely to be available. The amount you should be willing to pay for repairs declines gradually at first, then falls sharply after year three, reaching near zero at year five. With this in mind, think of the repair decision on a sliding scale between year one and year five. Additionally, good quality sensors are becoming more affordable each year (available at around $3,500 or less).

With proper care and handling we find that sensors should last about five years on average.
