View Poll Results: How long do you intend on keeping your Camry?
Just until I see another Camry on the road 1 1.52%
Until 36,000 miles 1 1.52%
until 60,000 powertrain warranty expires 1 1.52%
100,000 miles is the magic number 8 12.12%
200,000 miles 10 15.15%
Until the wheels fall off 25 37.88%
So what, the wheels fell off. Cheaper to replace them than buy a new car. 20 30.30%

What the post says. I figure I'll go to 100K and see how it's going.

Lost a '92 with 156k and a '93 with close to 100k to semi's. Have a '92 with 238k and it still runs fine. Probably keep it, the '01 (64K) and the '91 truck (200k) 'til they die or get totaled, which ever comes first. (Probably would not pay to rebuild or replace an engine or autotranny after 100k.)

Until the wheels fall off, glass breaks, engine stops, suspension creeks, seats get harder, radio stops, a/c fails, front lights go out, ceiling caves in, until i die!!!(it will come to heaven with me)

I gotta get myself together, cuz I got someplace to go
And I'm praying when I get there, I see everyone I know
I wanna go to heaven, I wanna go to heaven, said I wanna go to heaven, I wanna go to heaven, do you wanna
Go?

I will NEVER get rid of my car. I will eventually buy a different car but this one will always be around. I have been through too much with this car. I have put my blood, sweat and tears into getting where it is today and it will only get better.

Well I would have answered the poll in 2-3 years. So I chose 36K miles. I am looking to re-sell it in a couple of years and get a Lexus.

That is the plan anyways....

Bought the car for a ridiculous price at 244 000 kilometers, was running okay, couple thousand bucks every 2-3 months later made it run fantastic. It really didn't need all this money put on it, but I want this car to run flawless and I'm on my way there, so I'll finish off with bodywork and slight esthetics modding.

Then I'll drive it/maintain it until it's fucking dead.

^Same! purchased with 100k mi and now has 140,000 mi. Am currently replacing all suspension bushes and making it run perfect cuz I want to keep for 5 or 6 years yet. i had the top of the engine off a while ago and my mechanic was surprised how clean the engine internals were for its age. worth keeping I want to see how long it lasts. should have over 300k mi when Im finished with it.

I do an oil change every 3000 mi, oil comes out real clean, only a few shades darker than new. I love toyotas!

planning to keep it until i graduate college, but i'm not sure if after college im gonna spend more money on the car, or move on to another car.....but modding a camry is unique so my 1st choice would be to keep it as long as possible

'rents offered to buy me a new car, but I figured it was cheaper to just keep this one. It needs to last me another 5 years as I go through graduate school.
