Question 2nd gens with 100k+ on them... how are your cars holding up?

My 06 250 is going to hit 100k soon and am just curious how yours are holding up. Drive train; interiors; etc.

My car, thankfully, has had no major problems up to this point, so am hopeful i can get another 50k out of her before i start thinking about buying something else.

My car is at 154,000 and still running strong. Navigation touch screen just stopped responding a few weeks ago but other than that it's just been regular maintenance up to this point.

07 IS350, 102K, Everything perfect mechanically but the body needs repair due to the previous owner doing a awful job on the exterior, It is a clean title no wrecks, previous owner molded the side skirts and rear bumper which was the reason I picked up the car for so cheap.

'06 IS350, 205K

beat on it everyday: race it, break loose on turns, it gets stuck, scrapes/rubs everywhere.. lives a fun/tough life
never let me down once, always starts, not one problem mechanically.

fixed my nav screen 35k ago, oil every 5k, pads/rotors like 15k ago, tires.. lmao like every 3k
dash, seats and whatnot are great, though i could use new front door panels.
needs paint, but thats because of what i put it through + someone keying it.

i dont plan to sell it, ever. its my toy.

96k ... And it still drives like the first time I drove it

Accelerate hard, shift at 5-6k almost every shift, hard cornering, hard braking, etc, etc... Has been to the drag strip (Pursuit 3 & 4 meets in socal), freeway runs .... I drive it like I stole it ... Still holding up great! ... Not one problem.

Interior is still great... Leather isn't cracking either!

I can honesty say this experience has sold me on never getting anything other than a Toyota product.

'06 350... 107k and still running like a champ. Only thing I would complain about is the crazy amount of rattles, but then again I'm running 16k front and 12k rear coilovers :P This car has served me well for 5 and a half years, and I never plan on getting rid of it.

Glad to hear all of our 100k+ cars are doing well in the long run! Really looking forward to not having a car payment for many more years
