The engine and transmission are original with no work done on them (except timing belt once). Just oil changes.

In fact, the check engine light has never come on!!

I've of course had to replace the usual wear items: radiator, struts, steering rack, and of course brakes a bunch of times. But other than that, not much work needed.

Yeah, I take pride the higher and higher my mileage goes, lol. I tell people all the time. Most car owners cringe at high mileage.

I wouldnt say happy- we are just always impressed- not many vehicles can pull it off- we all(ill say most of us) would rather have a 20,000 miles SC than a 220,000 mile SC.

185xxx. Used to put a few miles on her all the time, not so much after premium topped $3 though. It may be quite some time before the big 250k mark

Congrats on the milestone, JLSC4.

I miss my 92 Celica All-Trac. It needed a new paint job more than any car in history.

But...



it had 384,218 when I sold it.

Only one head gasket job.

I bought it off the original owner back in 99 right after I graduated high school and kept it until last year.

With my old job, I was putting about 50-60k miles on my car every year, but I wasn't paying for my gas...so its all good.

I should have kept it and repainted it. Other than the paint job, it only had a few dings. Interior was mint, no rust, and drove like a champ. The rear main seal leaked, thus prompting me to get rid of it (dumbest move evAr).
