I had the air conditioner converted to R-134A refrigerant, after a leak in the system was repaired.
I had the timing belt replaced at 90,000 miles.
The water pump started leaking at 88,000 miles. The part was inexpensive, but it was misery to replace because of accessibility problems.
I find that Toyotas are of VERY high quality, but they are a bit harder to work on than Nissans and a Subaru that I have owned in the past.
I bought this car because it was a bargain. I have always looked at Toyotas when looking for new cars, but never bought one. I feel that Nissans are almost as high in the quality department, but they are easier, and less expensive to maintain.
Purchased 4 years ago. 38,000 km now have 150,000 km, Very reliable car.
Valve seals replaced @ 105,000 km which I found odd but still love the car
38 - 45 miles per gallon avge.
