You don't mention how the car has been treated; even if you take religiously
good care of your car (and few people do) if you bought it used, the previous
owner may not have. Even Toyotas can be abused, especially over a 15 year
period. Hmm, I don't think frigs or washers/dryers are expected to last that
long. And your car is old enough that any car could be expected to need major
maintenance like an engine overhaul. Even a Volvo or Saab.
