Before doing his brakes for the first time at 400,000 miles, the only repairs he did were replacing the alternator at 323,000 miles and replacing the shocks and struts at a bit over 150,000 miles (and he probably didn't HAVE to replace the shocks and struts). You can do a user name search for trini_per4ormance and when the results display, go down to the 5th thread listed (Finally, 450,000 miles....etc) and click on page 1 and look at post #1. whenever trini completes a new repair, he updates that post with a text edit to include the new information. If I can get to 400,000 or close to it without any more repairs (just the alternator and wheel bearings so far)....just oil/filter changes and a battery and another set of tires I'll probably trade it in at that time (or donate it to charity)

Among Yarisworld members who are original owners, there are at least 4 between trini and me. When Contraband831 posted that he was at 246,000 I was at 244,400. Another original owner/member is at 265,000+ miles and two more are at 350,000+ miles. Tops among our non original owners (and he's enhanced his Yaris quite a bit) is Mazilla at over 530,000 miles. Mazilla bought a courier company that included 20 Yari....and each Yaris (among the 20) was at some point in the range between 350,000 and 500,000 miles!

'Speak of the devil' (so to speak), trini_per4mance (just tonight) created a new thread because he just hit 500,000 miles (owned since new) on May 26th, 2013 !
