Yes, 79K. Not that it matters if compression is still good. Same place he answered you about the coolant that doesn't matter.

I've got as much faith in what you say as I do from my X wife..

At 79K be glad you got transportation. Let it go man. If you want a fast car build a car from the bottom up in a RESPECTABLE shop or buy one from the dealer.

Sorry but that's the botom line.

If you really believe that then ask youself why does the value of a car after 50K, even a Toyota drop drastically??

Sorry Greg but your wrong here. At 79k a Toyota engine is hardly breaking in. Since when does a cars value drop drastically when it hits 50k? Dont believe me? Check for yourself.

OK, I could be wrong but I recently talked with Toyota about a car for my kid and checked the Kelly Blue Book, they all say the same thing. After 50K thw used car value goes down hill quick.

That could be true on some cars but i have yet to see it on a Toyota. Anyways i dont want to jack this thread.

Cool- Check the Kelly Blue Book web site when you get a chance and play with the mileage a bit.

Let me know..

I tried with a Solara i put 40k miles and then 50k miles and the difference was only 800.

meh...all this talk about not expecting performance out of a TOYOTA engine after 100K?? What are we, a domestic board bashing on imports??

I went boost at 267K km, and I'm now at 285K km running at 6psi.

About to do a tranny swap as well. I know the value of the car is next to nothing, but I don't plan on ever selling it either. I just can't wait until I finish grad school, get a real job and a daily driver so I can fully use my camry as a project car.

seriously... this thread really shouldnt turn into a debate of how much the damn car is worth or telling the kid to give up and buy a brand new car just because he cant figure out whats slowing him down right now...

If you were really so concerned about the value of a car decreasing, I seriously doubt you would have spent the money you have on your solara Greg. If we were all so worried about the value of a car, we would invest all of our money and ride bikes. Not attacking you, just my 2 cents... People dont build cars for an investment, thats for damn sure...
