1991 200k+ miles?
 

There's a 91 5spd just came on the market not far from me... only problem is it's got around 210k miles. What sorts of problems would I run into soon and how much longer before she goes down.

I mean, what's the average lifespan on these things...

Hrm...
 

It's large =)

More importantly, it's how the car's been treated, not only the mileage.

That is quite informative. Thanks
Does anyone have a high mileage car they can talk about?

yes i do......

I do as well, my baby is 2000kms shy of 250,000km

So i can expect to get a fair bit of life after the 200k mark?

Shoot, Toyota's can run for well over 400K with the right maintainance.
I had a 4x4 3vze for 6 years, ended up with 230K then I sold it. I jumped the shit out of it, off-roaded every day and ran the rpm's high. Never had any problems with it.
I know these supra's were built with the same kind of intensity.
As long as it doesn't blow out a lot of smoke or have a long running head gasket issue I believe it will go for a while.
Just my opinion, all I've owned are Toyota's and I never will own anything else.

My 1988 N/A has 164,000 miles on the clock and only now has the clutch finally decided to let go - thats 18 years its been in there!

I see no problem with mileage, as long as the car has been looked after. Check the service history. Mine came with every single garage bill from '88 on, and a full dealer history until 2002.

same here 88 turbo 168,000 miles, (or 270,000km) clutch went out. no smoke, no excessive oil use, no knock, turbo makes 8+ lbs boost, idles perfect 2nd owner. only things are shocks, oxygen sensor, brakes, etc... maintance stuff
