Diesel engines are pretty much meant to run forever, doesn't matter wether you take care of them or not. If I would live in europe where car taxes are fairly high but car prices are really low, I must likely would have gone for an old diesel as well as a daily.

My gfs astra f caravan has more trunk space than a bmw 5 series in a small car has a flat loading space when the seats are folded, uses 7L/100km when doing 150kmph and has been reliable even with no oil change for 50.000+km (I felt bad and did one). Only downsides other than being slow are shitty headlights and no ac in our one. And you can blink out the codes with a paperclip should the ecu throw one.

When I worked at different body repair shops over the years some of them used to change both number plates so it had the name of the garage on them. So you can't always trust the plate. I've just had to replace the front plate on my car but only because it fell off and that has the name of that garage.

Should be an easy fix, join the Roadster Owners club, lots of parts on there from others, its a very late facelift so will have the 1zz with the revised pistons (larger oil drain holes) so the engine will be fine. Get a decat manifold and change over the chain tensioner O ring to a Viton O ring as the OEM one leaks. I have a mk3, currently building a forged 1zz turbo which should be good for around 400bhp or so, went with the Mk3 as they are easy to work on and are around 300kg lighter than the Mk2.
