He drives it like a maniac. A Toyota magazine wrote about a 1987 4-cyl Camry used as a taxi in northern Norway (almost arctic climate), and it had about 750000 kms or 496000 miles on it. No engine work ever done.. My uncle had a '90 Chevy Suburban 6.2 diesel 4WD. He changed engine oil every 3000 km (1875 miles), took it to dealer every 6000 miles and never abused the car. Even with that maintenance level, the transmission broke down 3 times in 166000 km (104K miles) and the engine was replaced once. The interior in the car rattled like crazy and the paint peeled off, even with wax/polish 2 times each year.. That car was the worst piece of shit I've ever seen.. And many '90 Suburban diesel 4WD suffered tranmission/engine problems, and the paint peeled off on all the cars.. ES
