1995 1FZ all original. 159,000 miles. About to do VC gasket but other than that all original as far as I know. And an 18 year old before me and it still runs, so you know these things can take a beating.

1991 1HD-T, no rebuild, 161500 miles, still going.

Just sold my '95 US-spec - 1FZ-FE, with 194K miles. It burned a quart of oil every 800 miles, slightly low compression in #4 and #5. Otherwise ran well. I highly suspect the valve stem seals were shot - blue cloud after startup. Motor had never been touched internally to my knowledge.

Figure an average price of gas at $2 and 13MPG... $64K in gas
