Bought brand new in September of 1985. About 220K on the clock. Her appearance suffers from literally decades of neglect, but she starts immediately, runs like a dream, no squeaks or rattles, good highway manners, easy to drive in traffic. Part-time 4WD means she's great in snow. Bumpers are the only non-stock items. Been off the road a bunch of times (purposely), took everything I threw at her and kept up with anything that was not heavily modified. I keep promising her that I'm gonna fix her up. I truly do mean to do that. The older Toyota’s go on for ever. She’s probably going to see you out. 🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been the V8, because it made quite a noise racing past me. Grey haired elderly woman was driving it. ❤️👍🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law bought a Long wheelbase Shogun from a guy who had brought it back from there. Must have been around 89. He kept it for bloody years and it’s still up on the farm carrying around hay bales and the occasional sick pig or sheep. I used to drive it on the “Boxing Day pub crawl” as I wasn’t drinking then. Stuffed about 10 into it and visited around 10 pubs over the day. He bought a new Warrior 2 years ago and the dealership called it in and gave him a new one because his and many others, had chassis cracking problems.

They are great motors , they will run for ever... both of these are brought out of showroom the black one is short wheelbase 2006 model, the grey/blue long wheelbase is 2016 model , both reasonably priced as there’s no duty on them . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpuynarak Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The most practical car i could own in Thailand imo, i can drive to Bangers/Pattaya and also to wifey's village out in the boondocks with all the potholed unmade roads. I've had it 12 years now, its done 158K and its only let me down once when the alternator packed up and the battery ran flat, Toyota repaired the alternator and 600bht later i was on me way. I can't speak highly enough of the car, i love it...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaksey Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Props to whoever posted/has the W124 estate. that's a proper car that will probably outlast us all! 🙂 I'm not driving at the moment but temptation is never far away 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Wife drives a Mazda 6 here in the U.K. (badly) but to be honest they are a great car, it’s a 2004 model with 98k on it now and has only ever needed a new front spring , regularly serviced it does everything we ask of it, it’s let down by rusty wheelarches now, but all in all the best 3 grand we ever spent 11 years ago. I have a Subaru Impreza WRX as a daily driver, again it’s practical and reliable (touch wood) as well as being fairly quick, and in the Philippines we run a Fortuna diesel automatic.

biggles Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Honda Click 125 in Pattaya. Sold my 20 year old car in oz but kept my Hyosung motorbike. Use public transport in the Philippines, tho I have licences just not keen to drive on the "wrong" side of the road!! Just a ps; my 20 year old car was costing me $550 a year in road tax, only visited once a year so cheaper and easier to hire a car from the airport.

Objective is to live in a location where I can use public trans. or cheap hire. But..... you never know how things will turn out. The cost saving of not owning a vehicle is huge when you add it up - Of course things can vary depending on where you live and how you use it. - purchase/finance cost - insurance - maintenance - parking - depreciation - taxes/fines - gas - accidents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
