I just hit 185k this past weekend! I sure do hope I get up to 300k! I'm trying to learn how to take care of her to make her last that long!
My 1999 is sitting at 436,000. Aside from maintenance, the only repairs I've made so far are a bad fuel injector 2 years ago, fuel pump last year, and a fan clutch about 6 year ago.
Just hit 190k miles on my 06 SR5. Unfortunately had a valve stuck open and flood the #1 cylinder. Got that fixed and a week later check engine and several VSC lights came on. Looks to be a cat converter issue requiring a new exhaust manifold. Lights went off for several days but back on this afternoon.
Worst part is the fix could cost $800 - $2k, depending on if any bolts break when they change the manifold. Love this car.
Everyone is telling me I need to get rid of it but I’m thinking of just getting a new commuter car and keeping it around. Only repairs so far have been regular maintenance (new front axles at 130k to replace CV boots and new shocks/struts at 160k).
It’s probably like asking an alcoholic if I should stop drinking, but someone tell me it’s no big deal and I need to keep it! Haha
