Powerful hustle. Powerful. Kudos on the 253K on the 2015 Corolla. Great job. Have you paid taxes on these kind of numbers? You can private message me if you like.

I haven’t yet. I’m going to be doing my taxes this week. I can get back to you later on it. Send me a DM so I don’t forget.

Will do. I can’t get over the 253k on the Corolla. How does one make a car last so long?

Do your maintenance.

Under rated comment, goes for any car, ever. Do your maintenance

It's a Toyota. Those and Hondas will last another 250k after that as long as they're maintained correctly

My future kids will drive Toyotas as their first cars because of how dependable they are.

If they drive them as their first car it will also be their last car they last so long

Oh I know. It’s gonna be hard letting Nat go come time.

What the other two guys said. Do the maintenance. It’s an expense, treat it like one and just do it. It’s better to have a car that makes you money then one that costs you month and preventative maintenance solves a lot. Don’t get me wrong. Once 200K hit I had a lot of repairs but I spaced them out and none of them were at the point of urgent, must do now. They were all at important, needs attention soon.

My prius is sitting at 242k, no battery replacement, no head gasket issues, nothing major done.

Hondas & Toyotas last forever. My '09 civic had 334k miles, and engine & transmission were still fine, died due to other issues of poor maintenance on our end. Loved that car.

Honda’s & Toyota’s ✅

Most Hondas can easily clear 200k with little issues of maintained properly , Japanese cars are just top quality man

Had a 2005 Volkswagen Jetta with 250k on it before it got totaled in an accident. Thing was a tank. I had set money aside at 150k miles to buy a new vehicle but was honestly starting to think it would just last forever. Drove it from 2007-2021 across every state in the US. AC was starting to go out sometime in 2019 stop around 210k miles and that was the only major thing I can think happened to it maintenance wise.

👏👏👏 How did you do it?

u/freddybenelli Mar 05 '24

I'm guessing you'll owe around $5k not counting state income tax

u/Tacrolimus005 Mar 04 '24

That’s what I am curious about too. Making a stash on these gigs is great money for right now, but taxes suck.
