> lets talk about toyota reliability for a moment. take my 1997 Toyota Celica for instance. 205k miles and the accessory belt just needed to be replaced. still on the OEM timing belt(non interference engine) clutch was replaced at 160k, 1 wheel bearing has been replaced in that time, original exhaust system needed a flange welded and a new flex section at 198k. all that is pretty regular maintenance or wear/tear, and the timing set wont get changed until it breaks. no reason to really. not many other car companies can say that about their cars. the car has been trouble free. and i just did a 3600 mile road trip without the slightest worry about my car making it, even over 200k miles. oh and it still gets 33-34mpg average.

times eleventy billion…

Bought my 95 Corolla at 150K, and the only things that heve been replaced that were not corrosion related was the alternator and a brake caliper.

Lets compare that to the 97 Pontiac GTP that I bought in 2002. By the time it hit 90K, all 4 power window motors had been replaced, and I had to replace the entire AC system…remember, at that time, the car was 5 years old. Find me a 5 year old Toyota that has broken AC, or ONE power window motor replaced…list goes on and on.
