Well to chime in on the high mileage, my dad sells toyotas and he sold a toyota to a guy back in like 93, and he now has almost 1,000,000 miles on it. he plans to hit it this year.

I blew a head gasket at 156,000, tore it down for an overhaul and everything still looked good. Depends on how its been taken care of.

mines got a 103k and is running like a freakin champ. The transmission is the only thing thats worrying me at all. I'm plannin on keepin it for about 3 years then I'll be making a decision on the car/engine. Hopefully nothing will go wrong with it by then. I dont go more than 10k a year.

Off topic but i saw in the news a while back a 91 silverado hit 1 million miles. It was driven by some old man. They said chevy might buy it from him
Like i said, off topic but it was pretty interesting
