    I've a long string of Toyotas, they're always very reliable. The one I have now was built in '93, it has 155k miles and shows no sign of slowing down. I repair things from time to time, but never anything major (engine, trans, etc.)

    I will drive this car until it falls apart: I'm guessing sometime around 250k-300k miles.

    • Sounds risky, John. They're supposed to be replaced around 60k, you should be on your 3rd. And that's a nasty breakdown, because you might have to wait in Podunk for a new belt. Maybe you should buy the belt and throw it in the trunk so any mechanic can do the job quickly.

    • replacing a timing belt requires lifting the engine and also replacing the waterpump, at the same time. think i will just rent a car and do the timing belt things....next year.
