400,000 Mile Club

My '99 Limited just turned over 400,000 miles.

I'm treating the old girl to a trip to Joe's Upholstery for a new set of leather seat covers. Then, a respray of the front bumper.

.....on to 1/2 million miles !

Impressive for a Gas engine, gotta love the 5vz-FE, take it to the dealer and see if they will sponsor your oil changes for the rest of the engines life

Right! On!

Post some pics and cost info for the upholstery. I've always wanted seats covered in baseball glove leather

No major problems. The only large component I ever replaced was the radiator.

Other than that I gave kept her on a reasonable maintenance schedule and always used factory parts. Deferred maintenance is a car killer.

I drive her on long trips without worry and I still average 19 mpg on summer blend gas.
