143000 on a 2001 se 5 speed. I change all my fluids on time and she runs like new. I may not be supercharging but I still enjoy nice bolt on mods.

2000 SLEv6 142k
My belts are a bit squeaky when cold, and I have emissions problems sometimes, but nothing major.
I expect to put over 200k on this one.

All these high mileage cars.... you're all in coupes? Any one have a convertible with an odometer reading all six digits? I'm just curious.

My 99 SLE V6 has 167k, runs fine.. I think the engine was rebuilt before I bought it though... around 30k miles ago. So technically I guess I have 30k on a rebuild engine.

Unless user99's motor had a sludge induced failure (the one real problem with the 1mz-fe) I seriously doubt it has been rebuilt. The motors are just that smooth. I bought mine with 100k on it and it drove like new, to me.

thats why my factory engine blew, sludge stopped up the oil pump and the engine siezed

EDIT I now suggest running sea foam in your oil as a sludge preventative

A friend of a friend has a 85 camry with nearly 400k miles on it, runs perfect, toyota offered her a brand new camry for it but she wouldn't take it because she had a stereo installed by a friend who died in a motorcycle accident just after the installation.

hmm... i dunno... i'm a crazy driver... hopefully at least 180k if not more. i know toyotas are known for lasting long... but i see a bunch of gen1's with well over 200...

i need to start taking care of my car more... :-?
not that i dont... i mean. like. not mashing on the gas so much.. and downshifting as hard... and actually shifting properly... i get lazy sometimes and dont care about that smooth transition if im by myselff...

yes i know thats badd... but i swear im changing my ways! :)

btw. i only have abouy 68k on the odo right now and for a 2001.. i'd say thats good. :)
