Didn't know I would update the thread after 14 years. I still have the Innova and at 202,020 kms on the odo, it pretty much feels and drives as it was purchased new.
Not too many parts were changed
1. Window weather seals
2. Rear wheel bearing, and damper for one side.
3. Clutch changed once at 155,000 - was not needed really but I had a driver for a few years and he got it done w/o discussing with me
4. Three sets of tires
5. Battery (maybe 4-5 times)
front and bumper got replaced do to errant drivers colliding with vehicle. Rest of vehicle is still on the original paint that retains al lot of the shine.
15 years are up and re registration has recently been completed. Last month my son joined IIIT Bangalore and the car did Hyderabad - Bangalore hauling duty to carry his stuff over. Still has the same top speed and pretty much the same pickup. None of the switches have failed either. The seats have held up well even without any seat cover though the driver side fabric seems to be wearing a bit now.
No drama, no problems. Even the AC gas has not been refilled these 15 years.
What more a man could want from his vehicle! I dont have any plans to sell it even if I want to change the other cars that I purchased down the years.
