not uncommon for toyota engines to run that long, and that good. you've gotta respect the fact that a car with almost 200,000 miles runs almost as good as it does when it left the factory.

you could always swap it out with another engine.. but like Digndoug said, everything else on the car has still seen the mileage. i would keep it around as a project car, maybe swapping in a 3s or something similiar.


if you decided to sell it, not many people are willing to pay a high price for a car with almost 200k on the odometer.
