Hi all, I bought my Is200 about 8 months ago, and I love it even more than the first day. I would keep this car as long as I can, but I have some doubts.
I know very well the undisputed Toyota quality and reliability, this made me buy a 12 years old car with more than 100k km.
I treat with much care, but often I like to shift at higher revs (like 4 or 5k), and sometimes I take fast corners.
I was wondering (passenger's risks apart), if it could damage the transmission, or something else.
Somebody said that it will ruin he car, because all the mechanical parts are stressed.
Other said that it does nothing harmful, because it was built to resist until the rev limiter.
I check the water level regularly, and let the car in Toyota's technicians hands for normal mainteinance (like replacing the timing belt).
How long it could last if I continue this way, without having serious and expensive problems?
Thank you
