200,000 mile club
OK...wonder if I am the only one out there....tripped over 200,000 miles today. 2003 model year, original owner! So far what I had done:
timing belt
battery (2)
replaced radiator (leaked early on, but not with the new one)
transfer case replaced (as of today)
brakes
boots in front needed replaced
air conditioner compressor
Overall some other minor stuff....but still cheaper than a new one!!

Pretty cool you havent had to do any major maintenance to get over 200K. Id like to see an American vehicle do that. Hell my old American cars couldnt go over 60K without major maintenance. 
Gotta love Toyota!!

As for American cars, I had a 1999 Z28 Camaro for a number of years, drove it from 41k to 130k. Only thing other than brakes and tires, the automatic tranny fell out of it, $1700 bill there. Other than that it was flawless, and I beat the ever living **** out of that car. Had a 1991 Cadillac Brougham, owned it for 3 years from 101k to 131k. I kid you not, only thing it needed in that time was brakes, tires, a $20 sensor, and a new headliner. I spent less than $900 total maintaining that 20 year old car over a three year period.
