When I got my 03 my 1st and 2nd gear synchros were messed up. they still are LOL....

 

Well I've owned mine since Dec 2002 and currently have about 21,000 miles on the odo. I average about 2,300 miles per year. So if 200k is accurate I still have 78 yrs to go.

 

I'm at 102k, still going strong. Make sure you follow regular maintenance and always check your fluids!

 

I've started driving my car harder now. When I accelerate around town I always rev it up to 3500 or 4000rpm. Is that bad for the car? Are they like Lexus's? My friend has a gx470 with 150k and she's driven it like she stole it since the day it was new.

 

No its fine, u gotta open the car up once in a while and not drive like granny all the time.. lol

 

Opening the car up now and then isn't bad for it. It'll get things heated up, and break up some of the carbon and build up in the engine.

However, beating the **** out of it constantly isn't good for it, either.

For what it's worth, 232k here. Still going strong.

 

110,000 on an 04 and it still drives as smooth as the day I bought it

I have replaced the factory battery, two sets of tires (3 total if you count stock), and regular fluids.

Replacing the hoses and belts after the summer heat dies down..

Everything else is great. The dash and all interior still look great. Just give it a wipe down every so often.

 

I know that feel bro.. haha except for me its been the 2nd and 3rd gear synchros. Other than that its been perfectly reliable though.

 

The only things you need to watch out for are OC issues and if you drive a manual, the bearing tends to go out pretty quickly.

 

yup! got to check your oil frequently and always keep a qt in your trunk just in case.

 

Just curious, you mean wheel bearings or throw out bearings. Or both lol.

 

Lets just say, if Tupac drove a G, he still wouldn't be alive today.

In other news, I'm at 149k and haven't been shot yet. I've had a few small issues. Mostly related to the previous owner being an idiot. Must have tightened every bolt with an impact. I've broken 3 wheel studs, and taking off the brake caliper bolts (that were not greased) I had to put a LOT of force on them. Sheared one caliper slide bolt.

If you take care of your car, it should last a long time.

 

Throw out bearing.

 

either way, im gonna drive mone like i stole it every time i get in it. and IF it breaks, it just means its time to rebuild it even better
but i take good care of her too. so good in means good out.

 

I shot my left front wheel well the other day. Barely left a mark and no paint chipped.
