Okay guys, time to spill the beans. I am buying a 98 GT 5speed with 200k miles on it. I am buying from a dealership so the engine wont last as long as being kept up to date like a real owner of a celica would do. Does any of you all have an estimate to when I would need a new engine? I'm going to try to nurse it and baby the hell out of the engine till its last breath but its last breath is inevitable.

Its also going to depend on who did what to the car in the first place. Just cause your getting it from a dealer does not mean that its all beat up. Its possible but not a for sure thing. Best bet is to inspect the hell out of it. Besides all the basic stuff, im pushing 219K and the only major problems I've had was a small distributor problem, and my driverside outboard cv joint. All in all not too bad for an older car. But yeah, It wont hurt to start saving money now because one way or another the engine will fail.
