[Jaemus]

i know of a 5th gen GT4 with 205k miles on it which is also pretty good

[hs2g]

77k and runs very strong

[2003cbgts]

i just bought mine with 143k on it. the older woman that drove it kept it in the garage and changed oil every 3k miles, so i hope i get to keep her for a long ass time.

[RbrtNdrws]

mine has 161k and it has major problems.. i am spending like 1k on fixing it, and it sucks cause i only paid 3k for the whole car...

oh well, it least it looks nice, right?

Bought my 94 GT with about 145k on the clock about 3 years ago....now I have about 170k miles on it. Spent about $900 last year getting the leak fixed, as well as a good tune up, and replaced an axle because the CV joint was bad a few years ago. And thats it.

Now, I just change the oil regularly, and drive back and forth to college everyday and not a single problem since.

[Batman722]

Just hit 150K this week. No real probs yet...

[vangSTa_celica]

167K and no problems. The only real problem is that people tend to be tards and vandalize the car

[95gtschick]

112k.. cv joints, passenger side window, transmission noises... and difficult getting into 3rd gear... but other than that it's good

[Benevolence]

121k... had a blown headgasket a few thousand miles ago.

[SinisterWhisper]

228k miles
new brakes
replaced caliper
struts
clutch

[DamDirtyApes]

91000

idle air senser

[snadman]

133k Still runs well, although I don't drive it everyday so it's hard for me to know for sure. Eh, still runs fine with exception to the school messing it up once but that wasn't the car's fault.

[Kwanza26]

168k miles... been to NYC to Orlando and back to CA. Gone through 6 sets of tires and 3 different sets of wheels... not so much as a hiccup.

[94GT]

I think I've got the record. I've got a 1994 GT Hatchback with 247,000 miles on it. This is what I've had to replace so far:

Timing belt and water pump every 60,000 (just preventative maintenance)
Starter motor and solenoid (failed about 20 k miles ago)
both axle seals on the manual tranny (80 dollars each. one 10 k ago, and the other 2 weeks ago)
Left front wheel bearing and hub (2 weeks ago)
radiator (plastic reservoir on top started to crack due to aging plastic)
Stock air intake hose (cracked about 10k ago)
new clutch at 184k

I think that's it. I change the oil every 3k and let the car warm up for at least 2 minutes before driving it in the morning, and it's still going strong. Most people do more maintenance than what I listed on a car with one quarter of the number of miles I've got on mine, so you've got no worries.

[coustoe]

184,000 runs like a champ, just cant use the brakes yet

[pr_caralho]

141k and runs like new, oil change every 3 monthes or 3000kms, timing belt change every 60k, change tires every 5 years, gonna get a paint job soon....

[2003cbgts]

awesome!! the 6th gen celica sounds like a tank

[Digndoug]

WOW Im suprised to see so many people with high miles on them.

[coustoe]

the 6gen celica has one of the higest mechanical reliability ratings out of any existanting car. so it usually gets a 10/10 for reliability over 4 years

dont see to many cars today or in the past that have that.

Therefore reinforcing my point of us being cool

[d3monc3lica]

mines just about to 142,000miles

[95gtschick]

mine has 112, i thought that was really high. but i guess for a car that's almost 11 years old it's not so bad. but just yesterday my brakes started to make this noise.. grr

[bufferdan]

165k miles. Timing belts, brakes, struts, spark plugs and wires, a caliper, clutch.... These cars are some of the best ever made for reliability.

[hellsyphon]

Just hit 250,147 miles. Only things that have been replaced over these wonderful 11 years are water pump, cap and rotor plugs, spark plugs, timing belt, radiator (i accidentally cracked it), and IAC

[AllTrac96]

177k nothing major besides radiator leak...but im getting it rebuilt this fall.

[Lacs21]

146,000 so far oil leaks major, distrobutor replaced, cv joints, Clutch cylinder, A/C pump, replaced transmission, power window motor, 3 out of 4 shocks gone on non lowered springs, and on the new trans trouble with third. radiator replaced, paint fading and clear coat chipping away, and I think thats it anyone want to buy my car?.. lol

[95gtschick]

yikes! feels like my shocks are going though too, same with my transmission and clutch, and my cv joints are well on their way, and i'm only at 112... but yeah, i'm waiting til it gets real bad before i fix because i don't have any cash.. :/
