It can last for as long as you can maintain its needs.

Maintenance is the first key to longevity, then you go from there.

Invest in a Toyota factory manual for starters.

You can get one used on Ebay.

If maintinance is done and you accept random things breaking like every other car? It will last so much longer than you will want to keep it it won't be funny.
It's nothing for a Toyota or Honda to do 500,000.

Same thing for performance. Depending on how-much you want to raise it, you might need some heavier duty parts. Then again, if you can afford the power, you can afford the costs associated with it.

I've seen a Toyota over 400k miles. It's still running.

My 93 has 228,000 miles and shows no signs of quitting at this point in time.

Love your car and she'll do over 400,000miles with ease. Mines at 201,100. Treat it right and they will run forever.

I say go for it

infiniti + G35 6MT.

Just kidding....

Depends on the owner. You can buy almost everything for the car, so it by definition and unlimited funding, Camry should run forever.

I got a 98 with 130,000 miles on it. She ain't quittin.

According to Toyota, 90% of all Camrys sold since 1986 are still on the road. Hard to beat that!

96 camry with 133k miles. The longer it last, the more attached and appreciative you'll get with it. I don't think I'll EVER sell my car. You can't just ditch it when it's been so good to you.

my 91 has been a bastard to me, but for some reason, i just cant seem to get rid of her.

142,000 miles. Tranny went out, engine spues oil and smoke. but for some reason i just keep fixing her up and getting her running again!

new engine is going in next week, i figure ill hit the 300k mark with the new one. WEEEE here we go!

I got a 96 camry, it has 143k miles, and runs just as good since mid 1997 when she was bought.

yeah when my engine blew becuase of something dumb i did, i had to get a tow-truck to take it home, and his words were "hmm...first camry i've towed in..in a long time" and he said he's been towing cars for a Loooooong time lol, he siad toyota's last forever.

Mine has 188,500 miles and it is starting to go. Mainly because it was my dads car and he treated it like total sh*t. But it still has the original tranny and engine, no repairs or rebuilds! We'll have to see how long my new '96 with 61k miles on it last for! I drive over 15k miles a year and hope to have it for at least 7 years, if not more!

my 93 camry has 251 000 kms on it and it used to be my dad's and he's never followed the maintenance schedule.. to him, he just fixes stuff when he 'feels' it needs to be fixed... other than being in crash or 2 and having small stuff like power locks breaking, ac not working and the antenna falling off... it still runs great.
