Huh? My Toyota truck is at 146,000, all but about 4,000 driven by me (my wife drove it across the country following the U-Haul). It's a '92 and it WILL go 250,000. or else. My little bro bought his 84 Toyota truck new, sold it with 240,000 miles on it for a grand. I suspect he drove all those miles. Many of these vans were bought new by the current owners and sit with 200,000 plus on them. Do a search on 'most miles'. (Please don't start another thread on that subject!) Or how about that guy in New Hampshire with the Volvo P1800 with 790,000 miles on it, all by him. And door handles do explode on Vanagons at 100,000 miles. Known fact. tim o'brien san jose, ca
