    I want to buy a 2000 Tacoma 4X4, regular cab, manual, with 190,000 miles. Can last many more miles the engine before performing an overhaul?

    Too many variables to have a solid number. Have it checked out by a competent mechanic.

    In general, 200k is where you should be very cautious, but some have gone 300k or more without major issues.

    Other have required major work at 100k. It depends on the fuel, driving conditions, driver's habits, temperatures, maintenance, was it ever overheated (overheating a Toyota, or any aluminum-head engine is the quickest way to send it to it's grave).
