Holy cow!! 600+ miles, that's AMAZING! I knew I loved Toyotas for a reason, I hope mine keeps rolling for a least half as long!
:dammit:
RC57,
My 4-Runner uses about 1/2-quart between oil changes (5,000 miles).
To up date all I just replaced the lower ball joints and control arm bushings dealer cost $350.00.
Front end alignment $100.00.
Stupid power antenna plastic gear stripped again, dealer wants to charge $65.00 to replace antenna. :dammit:
I intend to take it to a detail shop and let them do a complete detail inside and out on May 26, 12, the dealer wants to do a promo on the 4-Runner we'll see if I get some perks from him.
Other than that no problems.

Can't say this is true with all makes and models.., our Crowne Vics average 35-40K a year, and believe me, even the cab companies don't want them after our four year rotation. Then again, like many, I paid a little extra for the same vehicle as Bob, back in 2001, knowing you get what you pay for.., where are all those S-10 Blazers now.., lol.

Congrats. Thst is amazing amd inspiring to guy like me who just bought a 98 with 317k....no dealer records according to Toyota though. I do have maintenance records from the original owner however.
I really went out on a limb and went for it. If I get another 30k out of it will be amazed and absolutely completely satisfied.

Any updates??
Total cost?
The truck is amazing.
I question the maintenance costs unless you are getting dealer service at a reduced rate.
650, 000 miles with oil changes every 5000 miles is 130 oil changes. At just $35 each including taxes and waste disposal fees etc, that is $4550 alone.
If coolant was flushed every 60K like you said that would be 10-11 of those, that is another ? $700. what was the frequency of the transmission service? assuming you serviced the transmission every 100K, you are looking at 6 transmission services, so at least another $400.
You have done at least two timing belts, and I assume you use the brakes, probably been through a couple sets of rotors, you stated alternator done twice, and I assume you are not on original battery, hoses and belts/plugs etc:biggrin2::biggrin2:
Granted your costs were provided a year ago, and mileage factors are based on 2013 odometer. That said, the cost to run your truck would only have increased by about $7.32 or so, something like that:tape2:
----Are you sure the total cost you provided are accurate? :flame:
