Your still 600,000K's away.

A fellow at work recently picked up an ex taxi EL; 23,900 km lol

my grandfather brought an AU ex taxi once, passed RWC nothing needed :shock:

683k on it and it drove AWESOME!! body was a bit beaten up... but he drove it for a few months never had a problem it drove great and was cheap to run, then sold it for 1k more than he paid... without telling me though :(

bah my old statesman went around the clock, and all the way back to 500,000KM's!

Liar! Are you for real? :shock:

My TS has done 345,000km so far. Only had it for 6 months (desperation buy after blowing up the Crummydore the day before bringing our daughter home from the hospital, so no time to look for anything with lower kays and limited choice to start with!), but it's been running very well so far - the only problem was the idler pulley needed replacing! Hopefully it will last for at least another couple years or so, or until we can afford the Hilux (or Triton) to replace it for the long term (can't really take the Magna offroad properly!). That's why I'm trying to be very nice to it, so it doesn't have any reason to complain! :)

Liar! Are you for real? :shock:

Sure am, went through 7 engines doing it!

What did you do travel to the moon twice ?

Should've bought a Lexus. They last 1,400,000 km on one engine

Or a falcon:bowrofl:

Taxi's are always warm, so generally they will do alot of KM's with less wear than your average car. They can still go supirsingly well with alot of KM's on the clock.

Well looks like i got alot of happy driving then.... i bought my TR V6 about 10 months ago with only 23k on the clock!

how much did you pay?

cousin bought a courier van. brand new toyota one, fresh out of the factory, racked up 700,000kms in six months...you reckon lexus engines can last forever!...hahahaha

My new Commodore has done 351,200kms so :P lol

Took it for a drive today up the hills and to Fremantle and gave it $hit and for a car thats done a fair few kms it still goes hard.

*voices in her head of her dad saying over and over "now dont go flogging it like you do the magna, its worked hard" ppffffft right dad*

:bowrofl:

really???

- There's approximately 182 days in 6 months (365/2)
- 182 days @ 24hrs/day = 4368hrs in 6 months
- 700,000km's / 4368 hours = 160km/hr

so he averaged 160km/hr 24hours a day 7 days a week for 6 months?

I mean, sure, you tried to make up *another* story to sound cool. At least next time put some effort in and make it at least plausible!

:owned:

You realise that Lexus and Toyota are the same brand.. right?

only now i looked back on this thread...twas MEANT to be 70,000. i lok at the keyborad when i type and hardly ever read back over what I do type.

70000 in six months is certainly do-able, I clocked up 58000 is first six months... Mainly driving to brissy n back every week (approx 2500) for Golf Tournaments. Now 8yrs down the track I have only put another 120000 on the clock.... Mainly due to the help of Company Cars.

First C/Car, Holden Commdore VS ute, clocked 357 b4 she died in the butt. That was 2 yrs driving. The joys of living far away from customers!

whoaw...we've had our calais for seven months and we've only clocked up 16,000 and this is when we're trying to hit 25,000 min per yr!
