National paper (National Post) had an article today in the "Driver's Edge" section regarding an Edmonton lady who has 986,500 km on her 1989 Toyota Corolla. She admits the single most important fact was her religiously changing the oil (herself no doubt - right
) every 5,000 km ("give or take a few hundred clicks"). A local Toyota dealership owner is slated to give her a new Corolla in exchange for hers to feature it on showroom floor.
She says the engine was never touched, but the transmission went at 873,000 km. Rad lasted 901,000km...and tie rod ends to 930,000km. These last 2 sound fishy to me though...no rad will survive 14 Canadian winters!
