    In Australia they have issue selling hiluxses because people just keep driving their old ones, I have heard.

    If you in Cali, I’d buy if off of you. Need a shitty car to keep it street parked to avoid more vandalism on my new baby

    What model/year?

    And you know you can sell it, right? Still, 400k is pretty impressive!

      That is a great car.
      I had a 2004.
      Its fucking ridiculous. I redlined it all winter going sideways on its awd system that makes audi boys seethe. I never changed oil. I never took care of it, only beat it.

      And it kept trucking, never showing up a cel. It’s incredible. People who think “german cars are reliable” should really get a beat up gen2 rav4 and ignore its maintenance for a decade.

      I had a friend whom killed a 90s Corolla, she never changed any fluid so the engine just stopped running. She didn’t know she needed to change the engine oil lol.

      Stay away from mine! I want mine to outlive us all. I want to drive mine until the wheels fall off.

      I’m right there with you. My first one was an 84 corolla. I ended up shooting it up with a .357 Magnum.

      Second one was a 2000 4runner. Bent the frame on the trails.

      Third one, 07 rav4. Got hit by a drunk in a Mercedes. Mother fucker hasn’t been right since. Engine is great, but I’ve had to rebuild the rear-end once and replace the cv axles twice since. And there’s still a whirring sound that drives me bonkers.

      I have two plans right now. My oldest son is thinking about selling his Corolla. I may want to put that v6 into it. The other is trading it and getting a landcruiser. Based on their storied history. Even I couldn’t kill it

    Not in this economy. I hold my breath some days and hope my Highlander starts. I did it the right way. Purchased it used and maintained it at every service interval.

    My 07 Sequoia is at 223,000. Costing about $800 a year in maintenance plus oil changes but I’m only driving it about 6k miles a year these days so I can’t beat that cost.

    I would personally get a new car and keep the old one lol, i would still use the old one as my daily driver and the new one for special circumstances like long distance drives and idk
