now that the old thread has been brought up...
i had a mk2 celica supra with 345k on it. still hauled ass. the engine dying was totally my fault. it still had a long way to go.
ive seen many japanese cars with 250k+ miles on it and still run excellent. the 86.5 n/a i had had 220k when i sold it and it still ran great. my sister's '97 chrysler sebring started having all these issues around 110k (has even more now at 121k), despite all its maintenence since 90k. my 87 n/a was evidently ignored by its previous owner(s), and i'll still take it to LA without fearing it will leave me stranded by the side of the road. im getting close the the rebuild point, but i know it will last forever after that.
btw, how much $$$ should i look into spending for a rebuild? ive been quoted $700 for labor. yay or nay?
