230,000 km = 143,000 miles.
no pictures of it, but its a 2007 bayou blue 5 door yaris rs. i put a tooter manifold and 1zz tb on it last year, konig heliums this spring and I'll be putting on some 09 rs bumpers because my front is cracked and the rear has a hole in it.
nothing big to fix really, did front brakes, oil changes and filter changes and replaced tires a couple times.

177,000 here. Still on original brake pads. Recently changed the manual tranny fluid to Redline. Soooo smooth. Replaced the serpentine belt and side window trim this morning. Best car I've ever had, and I've had a bunch. Bought it on a whim to pull behind our motorhome. The motorhome has been long gone but I will NEVER part with my egg.

I feel the same way about my egg. However, given the point of the car's 'life' when my accident occurred, it doesn't make sense to make the repairs. I'm going to teach a friend to drive a manual on it (if we can find a big enough empty parking lot ), and then donate it....in one fashion or another. If I ever come across the proverbial little old lady who has an '11 5-speed Meteorite Metallic or White 3-door with the split rear seat...who 'only drove it to church on Sunday' (so to speak)...and has decided to part with it, I'd probably buy it in a heartbeat.

now at 357000km about 222000 miles on the body and the second engine has 264520 km or 164365 miles due to hydro locking the first engine! Still running strong, this car has been through alot, and still getting over 600km/375 miles per tank. Replaced broken lowering spring, center exhaust and have to change the clutch.

180xxx here, bought it with 5k on the clock in '09. Only things that have had to be replaced are the shifter cables, right rear wheel bearing, and the serpentine belt a few times (aside from the 2 accidents).

You are our 'holy grail' when it comes to mileage and longevity for original owners (and even for original engines)!

Currently, how high is 'the summit'...how many miles on your Yaris ?

It was a very odd situation. I went out to drive my car one morning and I could only shift 3-4. The side to side cable had seized up . Mind you this was the first year I had owned the car with roughly 30k on the odo. Not sure what was wrong, or what caused it, but they set me back $287.

Thank you! I currently have roughly a measly 543,000 miles on my Yaris. This may sound crazy to the average person out there, but I'm going to turbocharge it in the near future. My Valve Seals have now started to leak when I run thru the RPM's. So, I'm burning oil and have to top it up about every 1000 miles.

You never answered my question as to why you changed your shifter cables... Lol. I'm really interested to know why and if it fixed your problem. Bcuz currently I have a rattling noise from my linkage on my gearbox. But when I pull or push the shifter towards any gear while in neutral (which I'm basically put tension on the shifter cables by doing that), the noise goes away. So, I was thinking that maybe I should change out my cables too. Let me know what your issue was with your cables.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply to my post ! Sorry, I'm not the member who changed his shifter cables . You are quite an inspiration, so members like to hear about your current odometer mileage (...and putting on many fewer miles than you used to doesn't change that curiosity) and what you are currently doing with your Yaris . This has come up on threads since you last posted . Some of us know we can check your maintenance/repairs and mods on your '500,000 miles on my Yaris' thread. Post #1 on that thread shows the mileage interval that you did repairs/major maintenance, and mods, but doesn't hint to a current odometer level (last update to that page - January 2014). I don't think it's crazy that you're going to turbocharge your Yaris at 543,000 + miles . Given your maintenance intervals, etc., I'd imagine there isn't a 500,000 mile plus Toyota anywhere in the States that is in better condition than yours. Definitely update post #1 on your '500,000 miles on my Yaris' thread after you install the turbo setup (and create a thread foe thgat as well if you are so inclined ). I hope the member who changed his shifter cables answers your question.

Just turned 100,000 on my 2010 HB. Oil & filter changes, air filter and tires have been the only maintenance items. Bill C
