Sort of a vague question man, it might go tomorrow it could last you until +400 000kms, depends on how well it was taken care of prior to you purchasing it. New engines are cheap anyways so I wouldnt worry about it

its needs to be replaced every 5000 km. instead of changing oil, you change the engine.



of course im kidding but no one will ever know when an engine will wear out on a street car they dont know the history of. But redlyne_mr2 brought up a good point, the engines are cheap as of late so dont worry about it too much. What kinda cash you forking out for this 'rolla

well, thanks for the tip guys about the fact that replacing the engine is cheap cuz im planning to keep this car for a long time.
Im looking into getting the body done first before the engine. The ride is in really good shape and was well taken care of, the interior is mint and the body is still shinny black. The only rust issues is the normal wheel wells and underbody. Im spending all my savings on this ride as a second vehicle and need to save up for the bodywork next.

I know im going to love this ride cuz i use to own a 82 Supra which I must say was superb :D

my corolla has 300000 kms on it and it runs perfect with no leaks. I don't think you need to replace it fo a while.
