How long a Toyota celica would last?

I have a 1998 toyota celica that has about 140K on it so far. Last month I ran into a problem that turns out to be the pressure plate need to be replaced.



The repair cost is around 1K. Plus I have to change the shocks, brakes, rotors,very soon.



Is it worth it? should I keep maintaining this car or should start looking for something else?How long a Toyota celica would last?
My father still owns a 1980 Toyota Celica GT that had rolled the odometer five times. It was a five digit odometer, so that equates to roughly 500,000 miles.



I owned a 1991 Toyota Celica GT with 270,000 miles, it had the same engine your '98 has. I sold it in running condition. It doesnt matter if its a Celica, a Corolla, A Supra, or an MR2. Toyotas last, plain and simple. And they are worth every penny you put into them.How long a Toyota celica would last?
You should maintain the car. You'll have some headaches from time to time, just like your pressure plate, but with proper maintenance, your Celica will last as long as you want it to. Just look around on eBay. You'll find Celicas sometimes that have over 300,000 miles and are still running great.



The biggest reason that you should maintain the car though is just because of cost. Sure, things are going to break as your car gets older, but your car has a lot of life in it, and no matter what, driving a car that is paid for is a better financial choice just because you are only paying maintenance costs, not maintenance and a car payment.How long a Toyota celica would last?
I think it's still worth it, there are Celica's on ebay that have 60-100K more miles on them than yours selling as working or some freak %26quot;suddenly stopped working%26quot; problem.



Either way it's the best looking Celica ever made and I'd hate to see someone get rid of it over a pressure plate and brakes.How long a Toyota celica would last?
if you dont drive it like a dumbass and have the oil and filters changed regularly the engine will last forever but you'll always have maintenance on anything alot of miles for any toyoto is around 240 - 280,000 best of luck
