i love toyota's... alot, i have seen more than i can count with over 200k miles on them. lets get some post up on how many miles your cars have on them, here's mine my dads and my brothers

-mine; 86 corolla gt-s 4ag, chassis has 151k, the motor has 270k+...don't ask
-my girls old 86 st162 celica gt-s 3sge 197k still with a/c!
-my brother's 85 ra65 celica gt-s 22re the odometer stopped like 4 years ago at 190k so go figure, and he still drives it everyday cause its still better on gas then his sr20 s13 coupe.
-my dads 87 aw11 156k and going, he's put 50k on this car in about 2 years, and it knocks when you 1st start it every morning. plus he beats the snott out of it and all he does is change the oil filter and add oil cause it leaks alot.
my dads 85 corolla gt-s 4ag, chassis has 260k on it and gave me its motor for my corolla
casey at xat just baught a 94 land cruiser with 164k on it and i just used it to tow my car to san diego and back and now has 169. and not a single problem

My '89 MR2 SC had 206K when I wrecked in in '03. That car was autox'd monthly and dragged and had 12 lbs of boost.

My '93 MR2 had 196K when I sold it last year. This car was also autox'd, was my daily driver.

My '86 MR2 (that I still have) only has 140K miles and is being rebuilt but then again, this thing was tracked, and autox'd sometimes 3x a month.

Gotta love Toyotas.

BTW, my Subie has 180K now and its a daily driven STS prepped car.

oh iforget my 1st car, an 80 corolla 1.8 3tc auto with well over 200k on it, and i litterally tried to blow this car up, but it just kept on running and my 2nd car was a 81 celica gt 5spd 22r with 155k on it and everything still worked including the a/c and cruise. thats the car i traded in when i baoght my ae86 back in 98.

i've also had a 97 tacoma v6 5vzfe 5spd 4WD with 56k on it and did nothing to it but change the oil. dam what a great truck, should have never sold that truck.

my 84 celica 22re has 159 and there is not a single problem with it and has never had major work done to it.
my mothers old 89 corolla had 243 before she sold it, and that beast didnt have a single problem.

I <3 Toyotas. :-)

My Corolla (I'm the second owner) has 252,XXX miles on it... at 246k the speedo stopped working. Roughly 6k miles later, the transmission's input shaft spun...so I replaced the tranny ($175 shipped! woot!) and put the speedo cable back in. Odometer/speedo works fine now. The car has seen better days and stuff on it doesnt work, but everything important still works mechanically. The engine is definetly gummed up and full of shit, but otherwise its the original one and has no problems at all, runs excellent. Also, the original owner never remembers having the clutch changed before :lol: I put a new one in, needless to say.

Other than that, my silver 89 Supra had just rolled over 76k when I sold it, and my Supra has 101k roughly on the odometer, but the speedo/odo dont work after the 5 speed swap the previous owner did. I doubt it has more than 173k or so on it...I've only put 6000 or so miles on it myself so far.
