I have to show the pics of your car to my dad to prove to him that cars over 250k can still look good.

The exterior condition looks wonderful for the mileage! Congrats on the car, and to be on the safe side, change out the lower ball joints (if they haven't been done within a decent amount of miles) with OEM ones, and you will be good to go! Oh, and welcome to the club!

I have seen a 1996 Toyota T100, original engine with 400,000+ on the odometer. The owner was pretty proud of it.

Sweet ride you can drop it by cutting the springs............................................JUST KIDDING



I thought I could brag about high mileage with 205k on the clock. This is a damn good buy for $3k$. A drop and some decent wheels are all these GS need to look real good, or you can do alot more if you choose.
