But it just keeps going

I have an 05 with almost 269k. Using some oil, also just had a valve cover gasket replaced. Waiting on a new GHH, hoping she holds up.
Not in this economy. I hold my breath some days and hope my Highlander starts. I did it the right way. Purchased it used and maintained it at every service interval.
What model/year?
And you know you can sell it, right? Still, 400k is pretty impressive!
I would try to make it to 500k and then 1 million . Toyota might but it back even
Odometer problem reported: exceeds mechanical limits
2001 rav4, original engine/trans
I’ve got an 03 with 113k original engine. Trans needed a rebuild because of the ECM problem unfortunately.
Same with my 2002. If you get another one, skip the 3rd gen entirely.
What’s wrong with 3rd gen? Mine was great until a Silverado decided it wasn’t 😂
Bro this comment got me weak.
May both sides of your pillow be cool forever.
That is a great car.
I had a 2004.
Its fucking ridiculous. I redlined it all winter going sideways on its awd system that makes audi boys seethe. I never changed oil. I never took care of it, only beat it.And it kept trucking, never showing up a cel. It’s incredible. People who think “german cars are reliable” should really get a beat up gen2 rav4 and ignore its maintenance for a decade.
Me too. Got an 03 with 210,xxx just keeps on going
I can help, I’ve killed every Toyota I’ve owned, it’s practically my super power
Tell me you’re de-risked since day one without telling me you’re de-risked. 🤷♂️
how’d you manage that?
I’m right there with you. My first one was an 84 corolla. I ended up shooting it up with a .357 Magnum.
Second one was a 2000 4runner. Bent the frame on the trails.
Third one, 07 rav4. Got hit by a drunk in a Mercedes. Mother fucker hasn’t been right since. Engine is great, but I’ve had to rebuild the rear-end once and replace the cv axles twice since. And there’s still a whirring sound that drives me bonkers.
I have two plans right now. My oldest son is thinking about selling his Corolla. I may want to put that v6 into it. The other is trading it and getting a landcruiser. Based on their storied history. Even I couldn’t kill it
I had a friend whom killed a 90s Corolla, she never changed any fluid so the engine just stopped running. She didn’t know she needed to change the engine oil lol.
Stay away from mine! I want mine to outlive us all. I want to drive mine until the wheels fall off.
Hope I never make eye contact with it.
Put some gas in it or it will die soon. Nice mileage!!
It’s contagious wlectronically
Hell no buying cars right now is hell.
Same thing here, 03 that just won’t quit, looks old, feels old, doesn’t have any sort of power in it, but damn is it reliable
Enjoy it. Less crap on it to turn on the maintenance or engine light.
My 07 Sequoia is at 223,000. Costing about $800 a year in maintenance plus oil changes but I’m only driving it about 6k miles a year these days so I can’t beat that cost.
I would personally get a new car and keep the old one lol, i would still use the old one as my daily driver and the new one for special circumstances like long distance drives and idk
Give it a 1,000 shot of nitrous and it will die eventually
If it’s that old and reliable, the insurance is likely cheap after decades of depreciation. Downgrade the mileage to less than 10k miles annually to make the premium cheaper, then buy another vehicle.
