Alternator went at 175,000 miles.
Rear fender wells have some rust.
Radiator went at 160,000 miles.
Idler arm went at 185,000 miles.
I bought this car for $800 and it has been great. I bought it to get the fuel mileage and save on wear and tear on my 4x4 truck.
This car starts like new, and handles wonderfully.
Would not hesitate to pick up another regardless of the miles. Gets 33 MPG and will hit 90 MPH with no problem.
Counting repairs, new tires, and everything else, I have put about $1500 dollars into this car and have gotten 40000 miles and it's still going.
On the downside, it leaks oil like a sieve... Thank goodness for Wal-Mart and their cheap oil.
I have recently bought a 1986 Celica GT from a buddy of mine and I have to say I was a little bit worried when I saw the mileage: 185,000. Then I took it for a test drive and found out that it was still an awesome car and still had tons of snap. I plan on dropping a new engine in it in a year or two to give me a little more to work with.
