Exactly 20 years back purchased this ES with 8 miles on odo meter. Now with 345k, still doing good. Last year was the bad year for her. Few things were replaced;

1. Radiator (after 19 years!)
2. Idle control valve
3. Throttle body

Looks good for the age and mileage!

Quick question on the DRL bulb, does it run at full power as a DRL, or is it dimmed compared to the high beam?

Just joined the forum a few weeks ago after picking up a 2000 Platinum Edition (136,000). I hope mine will rack up as many miles as yours!

Amazing. It's really incredible if you think about how much that car has gone through, the places it's been, the times it has endured, and it still looks better than most new cars today. satiger, what you've done is short of incredible, especially considering that the "worst year" included fairly common issues that usually come up before 200k for most people. This is exactly why it pays to start with a well taken care of car if you want it to last a long time and spend the least on repairs.

Thanks Hayk. If not for you to send those pics, I would've missed the 20th year date!.
