A friend of mine had a 93 4-runner with 300K on it. Before they sold it they had the engine checked out...no leaks, no nothin', and perfect compression. Impressive.

:sun: This is my first Toyota. Got a 2000 Tacoma Pre-Runner (2wd) Reg Cab "Reaper". I bought it stock the end of July 2000 (It was made in 6/00) It had 200 miles on it (had to be driven down from Dallas to Austin.) It now has 15,500 or so. I love my truck and I don't plan to sell it, ever ! :D

It is my first Toy after all...

wow sounds like u guys really like ur toyotas

ive owned 2 celicas, my dad has owned 3 celicas, a cressida, a supra, and a camry wagon. my first car, a black automatic 1988 toyota celica GT convertible automatic with 114k when i sold it to buy a celica turbo. my second and current car, a grey 1988 toyota celica alltrac turbo, with 117k miles and runs perfect. just need a few tunings and a new clutch. i plan to mod it, maybe hit 12s with full interior in a couple years.

hello everyone!
i have a 1989 toyota pickup with 161,200 miles on it, runs great just need a new timing chain. if you guys with trucks want to continue this mileage thing try visiting www.toyotaoffroad.com its a great site and it has a mile marker where you can show off your mileage and post a picture of your truck. mine is on page 10 of the your trucks section of the photo gallery. its an awesome site for toyota fanatics :D

I used to have this 1994 Camry V6 LE (first of the rounder ones) purchased new, and ran past 150,000 miles in under 5 years (that's 30,000 miles a year). The thing is, it was NOT driven passively. Many, many, burnouts and hard driving accumulated to nothing more than regular maintenance. Seriously, the car held together like magic. Even after a T-bone collision midway though my ownership, it never faltered.

People tend to think that all japanese cars are alike, but they CANNOT COMPREHEND the genuine durability of a Toy, until they own one. Not only do they generally outlast every other japanese auto on the road, but they also put up with shit from the aggressive folk. Nissans and Hondas I've experienced before both performed above and beyond the call of duty, but no where near the abuse factor that was inflicted on the Camry which preceded them. Obviously, I am back with Toyota, and therefore I am truly a satisfied return customer.

I had an 84 corolla 5 door hatch that i managed to rack up 280,000 Kms before trading in on a ford telstar which then got traded on a Skyline GTST

At work we also had a little Corolla '86 1.3.
We got it brand new...and you all know how work cars are driven every day!!!!
This little car done 400,000 km. Never let us down. All it got was its service when needed....great little car.

Myself used to have a '88 Hilux 2.0l......sold it at 190,000km and this ute never let me down either.

I don't own a Toyota, I own a Mustang and its ten times more reliable than any Toyota ever made..... HAHHAHAHA just fucking with you guys... No but seriously my friends dad has a 88 Cressida with over 296,000 miles on it, and that car is amazing, still drives like a dream, quiet as hell, smooth, can't even feel the tranny shift, the only thing he has had problems with is electrical, but nothing major, the motor however is strong as day one. and he drives this car about 150 Miles a day.. unreal.. My other friend has a 85 Corolla GT-S with 206,000 miles on the original motor, Only thing ever done to the car was replace the radiator and clutch.. I can't believe how reliable these cars are....He drives the shit out of that car every day... thats why sometime in the near future i hope to obtain a Supra Twin Turbo.. Go Toyota

My Old man had a 1994 Camry that i would have LOVED to have for myself.

The only problem was...I TORE THAT BABY UP!

It went thru 2 sets of BRAND NEW tires ina year.
I did everything in that car..Burn outs, doughnuts. One time, i had to replace a tire rim, messed up the 360*.

When we got rid of it in 2000, for the newer model...i was upset, but on the plus side, i got a new one, though i would have rather gotten the 2002 model.

I dont plan of drivin it like i use to, this one is sporty, has a moon & rims. I want to get a body kit...but i dont know if i will get the car later in it's lifetime.

My mom has a 2000 Avalon V6, I LOVE DRIVING THAT CAR!!

I've topped out @ 145..ran out of road :(
It is SO quick!

my dad used 2 have a 1993 toyota camry with a 5pd transmission, this thing was so smooth and could handle turns in 4th gear. i woulda had this car, but it got totaled in an ice storm when i was 13:( :( :(

I have a 1992 Cressida Grande, 155,000klms. Have had minimal trouble with it,
-tailshaft center support bearing. (unexplained problem A$300 part!)
-faulty headlight switch
-bent R/H strut (previous owner must have hit curb. Puts caliper out of line and causes brakes to rub)
Beautiful car to drive, goes well, just a bit heavy on fuel:(

i gotta 93 Toyota pickup truck ... with 187 thousand miles on it and i love it to death

ya toyota's definatly run really good my friend has a 99' camry custom edition with everything, and it has like 45,000+miles on it and it runs sweet eh

My Camry still runs well even though its a 93 it still has a excellent paint job.

I have an '89 Toyota PickUp w/192 thousand miles, and is still running great. I just can't find a cold air intake system for it.

Any suggestions?

Dave

You could always make one. Then the hard part would be finding a flange adapter to connect the MAF sensor to whatever plumbing you decide on (you can always get cheap plastic piping at the hardware store and wrap it in thermal tape). Just make sure the piping is available with elbows for the bends. Ghetto mods save you dough and usually work just as well (and are more fun to tinker with IMO).

As much as I adore my past and current Toyotas, I still like the feel of a Nissan for some reason.

'83 toyota corona with 200117 k's on the clock

92 pickup

90 thousand miles

looks better than the neighbors 03 Tundra if i do say so myself...

treated better than our dogs...gets washed every weekend...waxed once a month...never gets dirty (unless me go off roadin with it)

me love my TOYOTA

Oh whatta feeling...toyota

My '93 V6 4x4 X-Cab with 113K. Pics a couple years old but still looks about the same.http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/56e4d3eb/bc/My+Photos/__tn_93+truck.jpg?bc1UFe9ArUZLiA3o

My dad had a 1997 Toyota Landcruiser Prado SR5 3.4 V6- awesome SUV- until some thieving barstard nicked it:mad:

did anyone mention that they last a long time?? especially the ones built in japan.

1983 Ae86 Corolla Levin Nothcback. 270,000+kms still eager to hit that rev limiter...
1981 Ma61 Celica-XX. 202,000kms
1981 Ga61 Celica-XX. 309,000kms!!!! hehehe

my little bros cars..

1981 Ra40 Celica with LOTS of km's
1988 St161 Celica

my parents cars...

Corolla 4wd wagon
Pair of toyota HILUX.

I don't think any of them have needed repairs under our ownership.

I have a 91 Celica GT-S with 260,000 on it. No major maintinence or repairs, just the usual oil changes really and she still pures.

99 Corolla. Has 50k miles. I bought with about 10 k. I bought it thinking I will only keep it for a few months and trade it in for something more flashy. Hell NO!! I am keeping this baby. Excelent fuel consumption, looks good enuff and very reliable. Love it!

i got a 79 RA42 celica GT coupe with 362k miles on it. i hit redline in every gear every day. engine was completely stock until 350k miles and has only recieved a couple bolt ons and external mods. entire bottom end is stock. only mod to the head is a .460" lift cam with stock valve springs. ill rev to 6200 RPM (redline is 5500RPM) with no valve float. toyotas rock. also my friend at my work (deliver pizzas) has an 86 pickup with completely stock 22R with 512k miles. he drives over 300 miles a day on it and it runs like a champ. as long as you change the oil on these cars every 3000 miles (i havent changed mine in over 7000) and change the belts and make sure timing is on then these cars will last forever. until the body rusts out then you get a new body.

i got an 85 celica gt-s. 5-spd, rwd, 2.4L DOHC. ran great til i got a hold of it. i drive like im on the autobahn. so i think i blew my compression. oh btw 190k miles.

buying my first car in a year. it will be a old corolla or celica. :smile:

Currently I have an 87 Corolla LE that I got for $650 US. It has 130,000 miles on it. Runs great after some minor tuneups. I've had an 88 Chev Nova (same as corolla) sold it, 86 Corolla, that frame got bent when I got rear ended and 2 82 RWD Corolla's. I think Toyota's..Corollas are awesome, great on gas, great to drive I will never hesitate to buy another when I need another car. I've found "my car"

Well... We truly are a Toyota family here at my house :)

And now i dont even have the details on my parents first Corolla... But it was pretty old...
So guess why we stick to Toyota in our family :)

I've got my '99 Camry...it's been great, only a few problems over the past year or so, but it's been good to me, and I love it to death...I don't think I'll ever part with it. As long as you keep the maint. up on them, they'll last you forever. I'm up to about 83,000 mi now.

Picture below

1990 Toyota Supra Turbo

130,000 on the chassis

30,000 on the engine... the third (current) one.

not getting sold any time soon =)

Runs strong. I'm the 2nd owner. Needs some cosmetic fixes to bring it up to snuff. Serge in SE Michigan.

2003 Corolla S here. No problems as of yet...

1996 Corrola, 5-speed, 132,000 miles, drive it everyday and love this little car. Mobil 1 5w-30 oil, wix filters. Replaced timeing belt at 105,000 miles

i have 1998 4x4 4runner and in love with it. sorry guys the car isnt here right now so i cant tell you my mileage, but can sure tell you it has a heck of a lot of them in it!!!!!! i havent made any mods into it but am looking into it, it used to belong to my stepfathers brother, adn he DOES NOT!!! take care of any car, anyhow, it still runs like a beauty!!!!! only problem is my mpg

Parents own a '96 Toyota Tercel (silver) with over 82,000km on it. We got it used in '98. Its got some bumps and scratches and some rust spots on it thanks to my bro for not taking care of it since he mostly drives it. I'll get my own car one day, it'll most likely be a Corolla. Beautifull thing about our car is dispite all the abuse it takes it still runs.

2000 Toyota Avalon XLS around 36,000 miles
2004 Toyota Solara V6SLE around 20 miles :p

Currently I have a 2003 Sequoia SR5 4x4 w/12,512 miles and a 2004 Tacoma Ext. Cab TRD 4x4 w/ 2,541 miles. Used to own a 1993 single cab 4cyl. p/u. When I finally let it go about a year ago it had 250,000 + [don't remember exactly] miles on it. Replaced the clutch twice.
You CAN'T buy a better quality car/truck!!

89 toyota tercel 203 000k on it and stil goin strong

I have three 1977 Corolla wagons and two 77 two door coups. ! wagon which I call Madam Blue is featured in cardomain.com AND carstereo.com.She just took her 6th 1st place trophy in a row and is touring the carshow circuit at the moment down here in Ga.She has 360,000 miles and just recently has just a little puff os oil smoke when I first start her up in the mornings.She has 2500 watts of sound RMS in her and fully redonr interior that just amazes people when they see it.My 2nd wagon I am redoing currently is also still running and it has 270,000 miles on it she is ugly right now hince redoing her. I am making her look just like Madam Blue on the outside but on the inside shell be totally updated and wild,Hince her name will be Misty, Madam Blues evil twin.(people get a kick out of that).the third wagon I am turning it into a camper as the engine is shot and so is the tranny, So I figured ok,theres plenty of extra parts now and what the heck, cut it in half and turn it into a camper to be pulled by either M.B, or Misty.( not finished with it yet so its not posted anywhere yet.the coupes are in storage for when I am finished with all three wagons. probably next year.If anyone wants more info they can email me for pix or what ever at rollenhays@mchsi.com<img="C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\New Folder (3)">

I have an 84 Toyota Van. Engine was rebuilt at around 195,000 miles. Why early? Well, my uncle, who owned the van before he gave it to me, really didn't maintain it too well. I don't think he had the oil changed very often in it. Then at 204,000 miles, the headgasket blew. When I pulled the head, I found out it was a cheap aftermarket kind. BTW, a Toyota dealer rebuilt the engine and they used AFTERMARKET! Ugggh! I bought an OEM headgasket, which in twice as strong as the aftermarket, put it in, had the injectors rebuilt, and got my engine back together and running. It's a bit of a rust bucket, but hope to get all that fixed soon. I added driving lights underneath the front bumper and they come on when my parking lights come on. I also did a total rewire of my headlights due to a poor connection of the original relay with the fusebox. They're much brighter now and work 100% better. Transmission is still original, except for the torque convertor, and shifts pretty firmly. Oh, and the engine is mounted under the front seats. But these things are actually easier to work on than most cars today.

Oh, and I made my engine nice and pretty as I was putting it back together.

1st Toyota,
1994 JDM Celica GT4. 265BHP 88000 miles
soon to be a project car when I can be bothered to buy another cheap run around car.

I gave up my Toyota because it was in the shop and my Alpine system was stolen by somebody in the shop. Owner wouldn't pay for the replacement, so went down the street and traded it off for a Nissan. That was 14 years ago. I put 194,000 miles on it and now my 16 year old is driving it. Doesn't use one drop of oil, never left me stranded. Boys that work and go to school with my kid are always asking if it's for sale cause it's in such good shape.

1992 Camry SE - 249,000 miles - minimal trouble. Got it from my father who bought it new.
