Happy 200,000

[Wazza]

Well my trusty, currently dented 1995 Toyota Corolla Ceres 1.6 litre, has just crossed the magical 200,000km mark!

I've owned the car for 22 months now, and have personally done 38,000km on it! First year I clocked up around 25,000, but have done few driving tours this year.

The only things needing replacement in those 38,000km have been new tyres at just over 170,000km, a new alternator belt, and failed a WOF (warrant of fitness [required 6 monthly], due to a stupid cracked indicator lens cover!)

Now it's time for a new Cam belt, new tyres again in next 5-10,000km, and to have those minor repairs done whenever the panelbeaters contact me!

I quite enjoy this car, as the 1587cc only does between 7litres/100km doing open road driving (cruising at 100-110km), and currently doing about 10l/100km in town driving. A bit higher than normal, as it needs a tuneup!

What's the mileage on your car?

Err, congrats. :D

My Celica has about 175,000 km, (not bad for 22 years old) but my truck is well past the 700,000 km mark I believe. I really don't know exactly on the truck, it has a old style 99,999 mile odometer, the previous owner though it had rolled past 100k mile three or four times when I got it, and it's rolled past 100k again since I got it.

The golf, since we bought in dec 2000, now has 180,000 km's on it and we got it with about 90k on the clock and the only additions we have added to it in that time is a tow bar and a set of rims, which is a very recent addition. We also get 5.5 litre/100km in stop start spirited driving (dad always revs it to almost redline if your gonna have a diesel might as well wring it's neck) out of the 1.9 litre TDi motor, which is an old design TDi compared to the current ones whch have 100kw's and 300nm of torque on them, ours only has 66kw and a bit more torque then the same age VR6 motor does.

Our 1990 Dodge Dakota has over 144k miles on it. Many of them while towing a 4000lb trailer :D
So far we haven't had any major problems with it. The fuel pump did go out in 2002 though so me and my dad replaced that. Also a couple years before that the driveshaft had to be repaired (it started vibrating). And the only other problem that stopped it from driving was a switch that controlled the ignition system. The truck was a demo vehicle for the dealer we got it from so it had a few miles on eit, but it was still like new. I will get it once my dad gets a Dodge Ram sometime withen the next year or two. :)

86 ute? oh yeah it's a falcon, not a WB.

[monaro]

toyota used to give you a gold watch if your land cruiser made 1 million and when my friend and his dad wrote theirs off at around 900,000 the first thing they said was "there goes the watch"

[wello]

86 ute? oh yeah it's a falcon, not a WB.

I wouldn't own a WB for one reason there like dicks everyone has one :p

[VQ]

No, most of them are pre WB's with WB Caprice front ends.

Our 91 ford it about to hit 300000kms. The only things that have gone wrong with it are a alternator, water pump, and a clutch job.
