What Model Celica Do You Have?

There are alot of rumors when it comes to Japanese cars. The biggest one is 30,000 miles. This 10yr old car only has 30,00 miles. Think about it. The only thing the Japanese do is increase the taxes with the age of the car, as a result people are more inclined to buy new cars.  They do have strict emissions codes also, from what I have heard more strict than the US. However, look at any drift video and tell me the age of the cars you see drifting on the streets. So that should fill you in on some of the truths

after 75k miles in japan a car must have a new engine installed or at least thats how it was when we were there in the early 80's now wonder i like 3rd gen celicas

Well i know that isnt the fact now.  The Japanese use KM and most of the cars they export have over 100 000km.  The same thing with those 30 000mile  engines.  Who is going to junk a car with only 30 000 miles on it? Especially when that could be exported to other countries
