June 23rd, 2011 04:23 PM #1I have a, periodically maintained with no repairs to be made, Corolla XE 1996 bigbody that clocks 235,000 kilometers on its odometer. I am just curious if there is anybody who has more kilometer reading than this? I want to have an idea of perhaps how many years still i can expect from my car.

as long as you maintained it properly and regularly and immediately replace worn out parts, it's not like us human which has an average life span of 60 -80 years old (you are lucky nowadays if you reached 50) but typically in cars? I guess there's no life span for it because first of all it is a non-living objects, it just a pieces of metal putted together, You know, My classmate in college who owns a 1989 Mitsubishi Lancer (yes, the box type one) and when I rode on it yes there's feeling inside of me that it is still runs like it was bought yesterday, runs like it was young and you can't imagine that it is a 21 year old car, believe it or not, it was still keep in fresh and preserved by its owner and assure it was maintained regularly and promptly, (I hope I can do to that to my car too)

June 23rd, 2011 10:57 PM #4just continue doing your pms and it would last you long. frequent oil changes helps too. btw, have your timing belt checked once in a while. it a big hassle if this snaps.
btw, we own a 78 lancer and a 1990 corolla xl both are stock and in a relatively good condition and both are almost daily driven. i think the odo reset a few times already on the lancer. hehe

2E engine is a belt type timing . Marami nakakalimutan nila ang pagpalit rito . Reminder lang iwas abala ,gastos at sakit sa ulo . lalo na iyong hindi masyadong nakakaalam sa makina .takbo lang ng takbo.
