Tips on Buying Cars: 200,000 mile 1993 corolla, toyota corolla, luck steve
QuestionMy 1993 toyota Corolla just turned 2000,000 miles. When will the engine or transmission die? I take care of it with regular oil changes every 3,000 miles or 3 months whichever comes first. Doesn't Toyota test these engines and therefore can guesstimate when the tranny or engine would give up? Isn't there a websit that gives data on average engine or tranny life span per vehicle? I know it depends on a number of factors such as how well you take care of it, driving conditions , climate , rust etc.
Answercongrats, you must really take care of the corolla. continue like that and it could go another 100K. Then again tomorrow the tranny may blow. I would just use it until something expensive goes wrong, then worry about replacing it. I would contact Toyota, and let them know, but they expect it to last!!!!!! Good Luck!!
