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? |

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. |
