Mechanical failure at what milage Options

[celicalibre]

Since many Celicas are advancing their mileage after all these years, what mechanical failures have you had and at what mileage did you have that failure. Were you stranded while traveling? I am planning some rather long trips cross country and want to be prepared for anticipated failures!

Like anything it's mostly dependant on how the car is treated and maintained more than anything else. A car that's not abused and taken care of is much less likely to leave you stranded than one that's been abused and neglected. If you want to be prepared you can bring along a gallon of 50/50 coolant, a few quarts of oil, a quart of brake fluid, and some power steering fluid along with a tire plugging kit. Then if something does pop up you should be able to get to somewhere safe instead of sitting on the side of the road at god knows where.
