I guess it would be around 30,000 parts all together. So far all I have replaced in the Intimidator is the oil and filter. But if you count all the cars I've had since I was 16, God only knows.

Thanks everyone that voted above. I think maybe someone got it right (?) I'm still counting parts...It's not easy taking a modern vehicle apart This is going to take some time...(Check back later `OK)

BBMike- Now I got distracted in my counting and have to start over!!!
There is a lot that is all I know...LOL replaced a few on the newer Monte but quite a few more on the 84. The 84 doesn't have near as many parts...LOL And if it adds weight and I don't need it, I remove it.

****** the answer *******
- How many parts is each car made of?
A single car has about 30,000 parts, counting every part down to the smallest screws. Some of these parts are made at Toyota, but we also have lots of suppliers that make many of these parts. The 30,000 or so parts use different raw materials and different manufacturing processes. Making good parts requires a lot of research and development. Having the parts made by companies that have expertise in their own fields allows us to obtain high-quality parts. Toyota's suppliers make seats, wheels, steering wheels, windshields, headlights, and meters, for example.
Toyota uses a system in which the necessary parts are made in the needed amounts at the right times. A card called a "kanban" is attached to each parts box and describes the types and quantity of parts needed. This card also prevents the parts factories from making too many parts and the assembly process from having to allocate space to store parts that are not immediately needed.
As just mentioned, about 30,000 parts are needed to make a car. Since Toyota makes cars exactly the way customers order them, each car is unique. That means that different parts have to be fitted in different cars. Using different parts results in different prices for the individual cars.
