my trusted mechanic told me to let it degrade with time and the sound may become louder eventually and it will be easier to spot it (he hints it may be the timing chain). My little finger's telling me it may be exhaust or bearing.. but alas no mechanic has been able to confirm my suspicion, in spite of them checking at this place or any other place.

will keep you guys updated if I can crack this nutshell.

If it is the bearings (wheel bearings) the sound will get louder . Many moons ago (at 110k+ miles on my now 300k+ miles blue Yaris), I took the old girl in to get her brakes checked. I was told that the brakes were barely worn, but that I needed new front wheel bearings. The shop showed me what they found. I was conditioned to the sound. After the repair.....sooo quiet. The difference was like night and day.

140,000 here ;)


OnlyThings fixed:

Water pump went out early at 65000
air fuel ratio sensor
brakes and oil changes.

[Schaumbo]

2009 sedan, bought used in Oct 2014.

Had 139,000 on it.

Put 20,000 miles on it.

Only thing replaced was the tires. Previous owner slightly warped rotors, but that's getting fixed soon

102k here :) Purchased from my Uncle when it was all stock besides a mild drop from Tein S Tech springs at 80k miles. Here she is now! On Megan coils/Swift springs.

[Oki RS]

208K Km here. New to me recently picked this up and I'll own this for about the next year until I rotate off the island.

[instantninja]

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.

[gearbox]

I am seeing the water pump being an issue for many. that is an easy fix :)

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.

My 09' HB has 108k and still getting 40+ MPG.

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.

149,000+ miles (240,000+ km) on an '08 manual that my 17 year old learned to drive standard on and still going strong.

[Adriaan]

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.

I don't understand. It's not a hybrid. So how do you figure 140k miles to have it pay for itself in gas savings?

Yeah, plus savings over what? A reference point/comparison point present to figure savings/a break even point. When considering new cars in 2006, I compared the Yaris to the Prius. I figured the break even point was north of 300,000 miles on a Prius, and that assumed not having to replace the hybrid battery.

[coheed]

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).

[trini_per4mance]

Why did you replace the shifter cables?
