89 Toyota pick up with 414,000 plus. Runs great. Has about 20,000 rough off road miles and the body is still very tight.
Replaced the head and timing chain recently but not the short block. Everything else original.

I put over 470,000 miles on a 1997 Saturn before wrecking it.

That was with 17 engine oil changes and two transaxle oil changes.

It still got 40 to 42 MPG, instead of the 38 Saturn claimed.

mine was an 88.
It was those kind of vehicles built at a time when the US made complete crap that gave Toyota the reputation it deserves today.
If i had that Supra sitting in my driveway in the condition i bought it in right now I would be one real happy person.
