My old '98 TR coupe will be 11 yrs old next Monday, and is still in better than showroom condition. Just turned 63k miles.
Be careful with that splitter on the front. I sold mine after getting tired of scraping it on everything. They look nice, but...........!

Mine just turned 22,000.
The original owner only took it to car shows.
I bought it with 20,700 but took a road trip a couple of weeks ago and put on almost 1000.
I just bought this car 2 months ago and it is my first.

Congrats - that's a beautiful car! Looks like it was well taken care of! Although I'll have to admit I'm not a fan of the taillight covers (was the first thing I took off of mine. )

very clean looking, one small observation: in the first couple pictures it looks like the rotor hats are painted(or powder coated) red and the calipers are grey, in the pic of just the wheel it looks like the rotor hats are silver but the calipers are painted red... please explain.

Holy Shirt....that's a great looking coupe!!!
I'm not a fan of that rear spoiler, but as a total package, I can't gripe about the overall look....very hot.
Buy the cleanliness (especially brake rotors etc) it seems you are keeping a show car....no problem....show it well.
But......can you really stand to stow it away for so long?....and not get it dirty?
Would be tough for me, but I also don't keep a show-quality car.
thanks for sharing....take excellent care of what is already a beautiful car.
