402,000 mile supra

That thing is clean! and amazed plus he's in ohio

Very clean for 400,000 miles, but it helps not driving it in these Ohio winters . It just goes to show that properly taken care of, a car can still look great with 400,000 miles on it. There isn't a picture of the interior, but from the looks of the steering wheel it's in great shape as well!

I've brought this up a few times over the years... my first Toyota was a 1982 Celica with a 22R inline 4. Most of the same tech as the Supras of the day, minus the fuel injection. I drove that car to the limit, and retired it with 995k miles on the clock. Furthermore, I retired it because it was attacked by a moose on the freeway, not because it was worn out.

In just shy of a million miles on the thing, it went through ONE bottom end (oil filter failed, and bottom end seized) and two head rebuilds. And a set of ball joints. And that's pretty much it.

Simplicity combined with Toyota reliability. Can't beat it.

Threads like this make me wonder if ShawnDude is still out there with his Supra... He had 400,000+kms 5 years ago...

a friend of mine witnessed a toyota previa (which I DD) with 600k on the clock years ago when he was working at a dealership.. my '87 had like 265k on it and blew the headgasket shortly before I bought it apparently, I saw no signs of the HG ever being changed.
