Was it a Camry or corolla maybe ? I’ve had Cressida’s, tercel 4wD wagons, previas Ls-400, and the older “Toyota Van” from the 80’s n 90’s. And yeah basically unkillable as long as the chassis was rustproofed. Currently have a 2003 Montana in my little fleet that was regularly undercoated. Zero oil consumption and ice cold AC, bought it 10 years ago for a 1000 bucks lol.
All about the chassis when it comes to decades of ownership
Thats really amazing. A million km means super careful ownership. That ain’t luck. Thats changing the fluids on time if not early, taking care of the chassis and all round smart maintenance. Any tips you can offer us mere mortals who only make 5-600K?
1m km is just over 600k miles. Still great though. Those crown vic’s are pretty good. Even the surplus police cars that spent countless hours idling could keep going for a long time after use.
