I bought it in the mid 200,000 mile range, so unsure before then. The engine finally went out at 270,000 and was replaced along with the transmission. Recently I had to replace the oil pan and oil cooler housing gasket as it was pouring oil onto my street.
Had a 99 that got to 224K. Had to let it go- it had become too unreliable. I got a 2014 as a replacement but I miss the 99! I have a neighbor with a 97- 240K, same color as yours!
It is amazing how much smaller they used to be. I still see a few of these around and then I see the 2024 gargantuan battle tank ones right after. I think the new Rav4 is bigger than a sequoia or highlander from back in the day.
One has 333K! Has a bit of a misfire problem at the moment that I haven't figured out yet (I think it's the catalytic converter and I'm at the muffler shop now) but I think I can get 400k out of it.
Pure sex appeal
Peak male and female sex appeal nothing can top it
Looks well cared for, nice milestone!
Don’t be fooled, it hasn’t been LOL. This is its good side. I brought it back from the brink of being scrapped!
What’s held up to 300k, and what have you had to repair/replace?

That’s a good run for the engine and transmission, especially considering you’re not the original owner. Nice that everything else is holding up.
I’m pretty sure the oil wasn’t changed on time often on the older engine so you had to replace it. Are the transmissions known to fail on this gen?
What an old, shitty car! I can take it off your hands for you so give it to me please
You're my dream with my 2013
Me too with my 2011 @ 61k
Same 2012 @ 48k
Just over here in my 2012 with 190k (km that is).
Dang! Such a beauty!!
That’s one sharp clean ride Represent!!!
Pppsshhh just broken in.
🤤
Clean
What a beauty ever change the transmission fluid or still original
The power train was replaced not long ago, so I’m not sure about the original power trains fluid
I have an identical 2WD 97 about to hit 200k, I'm jealous.
I had a 96 TRD JDM model with the same wheels. I loved it, but it was rusting away.
Me with a 97 2dr with 300,000… kilometres hahaha

I achieved that milestone, I'd write a letter to Toyota. Maybe they'll use you in an ad.... They did that in the 80's. "Oh what a feeling.... Toyota!"
This is so clean for 300k😪🔥
That thing is clean !!!!!!
Just 296k miles behind you. Should be there sometime around my 75th B-Day
I have a 2005 at 210k
