~!~I have a 1984 Toyota Tercel Wagon that is still on the road. I am about to replace the alternator on it(which incidentaly went out this morning). But it has 231,000 miles on it as of 10/22/09 and over all it is still in good shape.

I can tell there has been some loss in the power and it smokes a little bit, but I am planning on rebuilding or replacing the motor within the year. I am a big fan of older toyotas.

to the guy with 178K plus worried about crank seals might want too be more interested in a timing belt and water pump that tercel is an interference engine witch means broke belt bent valves junk car and the recommended service interval i believe is 80K
