Is it a bad idea to daily a car from 1989?

Depends how it was taken care of. I daily a 1991 Honda Accord and it's the most reliable box I've ever sat inside. But it was a grandma car that was maintained religiously.
It's true that toyotas hold up better than most, but only if he's put the money into it so far for proper maintenance, like all the fluids, any remotely rubber components, shocks, ball joints, etc. Otherwise you're gonna be in for a lot of mechanical trips for squeaks and leaks beyond just changing the oil like I do.
