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!

Approximately around 230-250k I started to have a few mechanical failures. Nothing that left me stranded save for a distributor cap that broke. As far as high mileage road trips, do what's needed/will be needed during the trip (oil/coolant, etc). If you want to take stuff with you then take the usual fluids that will allow you to get somewhere for repairs. What I do before extended (1500+ mile trip) is oil, coolant and trans fluid changes (it gives me piece of mind) I also check electrical systems, clean corrosion from battery/starter. While Im doing all that I look for any parts that might be suspect and change those as well. To track all of that I use the carfax app, its really quite handy.
