Leaks a little power steering fluid, but does not cost much to fix.
This is the best car I have ever owned. Yes it has high miles, but you cannot tell at all!
The transmission has never been rebuilt, and neither has the engine. It's funny that a car with that many miles has only had leaf springs replaced.
The front fenders are rusted through, but I am going to get replacements off of partstrain.
You would be amazed how much better cars have become over the last 19 years.
Stick with the '89 if you like it. Many new cars look really ugly.
Toyota's have not gotten better. You're better off with your '89 with 277,000 miles than a brand new one. Toyota still built a decent car back then when they could use tried and true technology that they refined over the years. But, new pollution control regulations caused them to have to design new technology on their own from a clean sheet of paper and it has been a train wreck in quality ever since.
