Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
my 4cyl 2nd gen camry has 235,000 miles on it... and i race mine... still running smooth as ever. Although it burns a bit of oil... especially when I hit the RPM limiter at 6,500 rpm. I suspect you wouldn't be doing that to yours if you get one tho
the only repair i have had to have done on mine is a new clutch plate, oil filter and the inter cooler mounts. ive broken down once and that was wen i ran out of fuel. mines an absolute trooper!
250k+ on both our 3s-fe engines, first car went to the junkyard because the body rusted out with the engine running great. second one we fixed up and sold for zero net operating cost after owning for a couple years. damn things are bulletproof.
currently have 150k on the 2vz-fe, camry got hit while parked on the street, dropped engine into lexus es250 with dead 2vz-fe in it (bad rod bearing)
maintain well and it'll take good care of you.
