I've got about 309K on mine, original owner and have just now began to do all the mods. If you change the fluids regularly and only use either Mobil 1 or Amsoil synthetic oil, Toyota OEM "red" coolant, install a B & M transmission cooler and take good care of your engine: IE: denso or NGK, OEM, MAF sensor cleaned, run some seafoam through the vacuum line and good ole regular maintenance you should get at least another 2 -300K or more.
Rule One: PRIORITIZE!!! (engine, tranny and suspension in that order.)
Rule Two: Read...Read...read! These guys have all "been there and done that"
Rule Three: Do not buy anything until you go back to Rule One and rule Two!!!
Rule Four: Contribute back to the site!! Photo's, details, lessons learned etc...Don't be a leach. My own .02 cents.
The problem is, like me, you don't really have any resale value left in the car due to the mileage. Even though mine is in pristine condition I could never get anything out of it. So, kids are in college, time to build and have fun!! I'm adding dynamat, new carpet already cut in the garage, new sound system, CB, led's, bumper with winch from Shrockworks, rear bumper...etc. Maybe even an SC. I'm keeping it so why not?
Have fun!
