Old car still running strong

I heard that Japanese cars were better than American. Wanting to see for myself, I picked up an old 1991 GT-S with 117k miles. My expectation was a car that kept on going and going with nothing but basic maintenance. 5 years later, it had met my expectations only so-so. Besides normal wear and tear, the alternator, radiator, a/c unit, rack/pinion, both cv halfshafts, cruise control, and the shocks that kept the trunk lid open went bad. Still, the car is now almost 20 years old and still looks good and runs fine. Repairing is cheaper than replacement and I expect to fix it as needed 'till the engine goes, probably another 100k or 2. All in all a solid car.

Original Owner - 13 Years

This car was driven 48,000 miles the first five years I owned it. Then it bacame the second car in the family. It has been the third car since 1999. The Toyota fit and finish has held up very well over the years. It has lived in a garage about half of the years that I've owned it. Mechanically, it was perfect for ten years. At ten years of age, much of the rubber had just rotted. I have replaced numerous gaskets and boots, but all engine, transmission, suspension and exhaust is original and shows no signs of needing replacent. The vehicle looks like a race car, but is really more of a boulevard cruiser than a hot rod.

Bought with 196,000 miles, now 210,000. Everyone thinks its a '96. Runs GREAT for the miles. Repairs (since purchased brand new) aside from regular maintnance have totaled less than $5000. CD player, car alarm, sun roof, 180hp engine, a/c, gas mileage. For '91 it is in a class all of its own. I plan on driving this car until the wheels fall off, you can't have it.

I love this sporty car! Since it has manual transmission, it made it more fun to drive--corner the corners and speed away!!! It's a great, small car!
