Really? My '95 FJ80, now over 200k miles, has been one of the cheapest and easiest to mantain, and most reliable vehicles I've ever owned.

Overall cost of ownership is rough due to terrible MPG, but maintenance hasn't been an issue at all.

So that's like what, 82 in Town and Country years?

Point being, 200k and 25yr on an SUV isn't that impressive on something expensive enough in its day to mostly avoid being rode hard and put away wet from day one. There are a lot of pretty pristine 90s Jags kicking around too and they weren't exactly the pinnacle of reliability. Minivans, commuter compacts, station wagons, they got chewed up and spit out.

Last time I looked, parts were fairly expensive. They are excellent otherwise.
