Hey guys new here. Got a what I hope is a deal on a '93 XLE V6 auto with over 310000 MILES, not km on the odometer. Not currently running but previous owner swears it ran well when it was parked. It was his mother's car and she parked it because it need brakework and a drive belt. I haven't had much of a chance to look at the car and not sure what I'm going to do with it after its running and drivable (plan on fixing it, hopefully its not too much work). I know it turns over fine and has been very well maintained and parts were replaced as needed (have receips), many at dealership. Trans has also been replaced, and maybe headgasket. The body is in awesome condition for a MN car. I own several vehicles but my current daily driver is a 2nd Gen Acura Integra.
Think there is any chance the motor will hold out for a while at 310K!?
Are these V6 motors costly/hard to rebuild?
Whats the highest miles you've seen these hold up for?
Any mods that you just gotta do to these things? I'm new to toyota!
Any other thoughts and opinions would be appreciated!

Yota newb: bought a camry... 310K! Questions
Obviously I plan to get it running first, not planning any major mods whatsoever but I have a hard time leaving anything stock. geesh. Did crank it over and it sounded good, haven't had any time to mess with the car as its 100miles away for the time being. I'm pretty certain I can trust the seller and that it ran when it was parked. I got the car in a trade. I will replace gaskets as needed and see if i can get her internally clean as possible. Going to test compression and see what I'm getting for numbers... What should i be getting?
Linear Mode
