1yr old Yaris 5spd sedan S w/150,000+miles - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

trini_per4mance · 08-14-2007, 10:27 PM

Here's the long awaited video clip of the Yaris going from 149,999 to 150k. This video was taken while I was driving on the Florida Turnpike. If you listen carefully, you can hear the cars and trucks go by as I pull over onto the shoulder.

Nope, I use to drive 550 miles in 7 hours in one night from Miami to Tampa and back. Now I drive 550 miles a from Fort Lauderdale to Jupiter and back twice and then from Fort Lauderdale to Naples once. Now I drive from 9am - 11pm/6 days a week with a 2.5 hour lunch break.

And I thought my 27,000 miles in one year was alot. Gives me great hope that my great car can last a long long time.

thats CGI totally fake!!!!!...haha jk

fu_im_from_texas · 08-14-2007, 11:54 PM

either you've wasted a lot of time faking proof... or, you've got a TON of miles on your yaris ... either way... welcome to YW... i suspect people were skeptical because your first post was (on the surface) unbelievable...

please keep us updated on mileage, and work done on your car... a lot of us hope to drive the wheels of our yari ... you will make for an excellent benchmark...

my gosh.. so much driving. Do you have a family yet? I can imagine that if you do, it must be real hard on them. anywho, I can see this kind of job good for the short run... but hm.. not for long term but that's just me.

Yes, I do. I actually got married Jan 2007. You're right it's kinda hard on the family, that's why I'm slowly getting out of this kinda job.

sherryberry · 08-15-2007, 02:25 PM

ooh congrats on recently being married! yah i cannot see how you can have time to relax, spend time with family, work, and be online!! there are only 24 hours to a day! amazin. u must not sleep.. hehe

aca72 · 08-15-2007, 08:05 PM

Impressive! Toyota should offer you to make an info-mercial about of your Yaris.

Keep us updated.

Here's a little more proof. 100,000 miles @ 2.54am on 3/23/07

07typeS · 08-16-2007, 12:44 AM

150000 in one year...... thats insane..... I dont think I could handle that much driving, and I love to drive.

PetersRedYaris · 08-16-2007, 02:16 AM

Welcome to Yaris World... Sorry about all the skeptical "douche bags", we just have to live with them.

Pars · 08-16-2007, 02:45 AM

Wow! I thought my 50,000miles/year was alot. But my mileage is mostly city driving.

So, you're still on the orginal rotor and pad? And is the car an automatic or manual? If it's an automatic, getting close to 50mpg is amazing, even if it's all highway.

A word of caution, keep an eye on the quaility of the engine oil. The intake will let in more dirt into the engine and if it looks like it's getting bad (dark) well before the change interval, you'll need to address that asap.

If your job ever take you to Toronto, let us know, we'd love to check out your ride.

Nigal · 08-16-2007, 05:58 AM

I believe! I believe! Sweet Baby Jesus I believe!!! LOL!

That thing sounds unbelievable! Great sound. So do you walk all hunched over from that many hours in the saddle?

pp.sweet · 08-16-2007, 05:48 PM

GOD..YOUR DAT GUY i KEEP SEEING ON THE HIGHWAY..

Sabretooth · 08-17-2007, 05:29 AM

I want to know the resale value? I know a guy who has a 06 Jeep Wrangler, and when it tried to trade it in, they said if he was to put another 20k on the thing, it wouldnt decrease any value, seeing it was already over-milaged.

360cubes · 08-22-2007, 12:25 AM

That's quite the mileage buildup. There was a Prius out in BC that was used 24/7/365 as a taxi and in two years it put on just over 400, 000kms (248,000miles) and Toyota gave the company a new Prius to trade for the current one so they could tear it down and see how components were wearing.

Also of note, I drive transport full time and would not be able to pack on the same amount of miles sitting in a Yaris! It does make a great third car.
