| Car | Owner | Miles | Drivetrain | Major Repairs | Comments | Date Added | | 1992 Toyota Camry | Known, not shown | 200,003 | 4 cylinder | New radiator about 4 years ago - otherwise only basic wear and tear repairs! | | 2009-11-16 | | 1991 Toyota Celica | Stephanie Bell | 364,397 | 4cyl. 1.6L 5 speed manual | Replaced the clutch once, replaced the radiator once, replaced one coolant hose, replaced the timing belt once. Other than that all work done has been basic stuff like brake jobs, tune ups, oil changes, etc. Currently, it is getting a new starter. | This car is awesome! I am the 2nd owner. The Celica has a few dents, some hail damage and the rear wheel wells are rusting away due to the 1st owner driving it up north in the salt. But, overall it has been a trooper! It is quick, fun to drive and gets 35 mpg! | 2009-11-12 | | 1988 Toyota Camry | bea | 200,055 | na | none | My car celebrated its 200,000 on November 2,2009 she has not had any engine or transmission problems. She runs like a champ! My fiancee tends to change her oil every 3 months and I myself 2wice per week check the oil, transmission oil, water. She was in an accident however it was just a fender-bender for me but for the Yukon it was totalled. Boy do I love my car. She may look old from the exterior but her heart is that of a 6 year old child. :) | 2009-11-11 | | 1996 Toyota 4Runner | Kevin Dobson | 228,000 | 6cyl. // automatic | Repaint. | I just had re-painted (anthrocite). The poly-coat faded. I need a smog- check to re-register but there seems to be a problem with the Catalitic converter.It rides fine. I'd like to get a set of wheels 15/16 inch and change the tires to more original look and it should improve the ride. I'm also going to need two front seats. | 2009-11-10 | | 1999 Toyota Corolla | Known, not shown | 305,000 | 2.4 | brakes..catalytic converter...oil changes | engine lost pressure in one of the cylinders..great car | 2009-11-09 | | 2002 Toyota Echo | M. Eichler | 273,000 | 4 cyl. Automatic | None | I had a previous post when my car turned over 200,000 miles. I mistakenly listed it as a "1992" instead of "2002". Anyway...it is hard to believe, but at 273,000 miles - I actually think the engine gets stronger the older it gets! I'm no mechanic, but it might be because it is so broke in and the rings worn and seated so well in the cylinders it has great compression. It runs better than new and I'm not just saying that. I change oil evry 5000+ miles. LOVE this little car! I wouldn't mind getting a newer one, but can't find any reason to. | 2009-11-05 | | 2002 Toyota Tacoma | Zachirais Artega | 284,000 | v6 3.4 l | none | | 2009-11-03 | | 1997 Toyota RAV4 | Known, not shown | 212,000 | Automatic | Batteries every Year for 11 years ...

I still get 25 mpg on average. It still drives as if it only has 70K on the odometer. No rattles and the original paint still looks relatively fresh.
