The MOST miles you've seen on a Toyota Camry (See first post for a ranking list)

dcarter124 · Nov 11, 2005

Camrys are known to last for a good time. What is the highest number of miles you've seen - or heard about - on a camry?

The most i've seen is 237,000 miles on my friends car, he's still using it......
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BMR's edit to compile the high milers list:

OK, I skimmed thru this entire thread. It became apparent that you've gotta have 300k+ miles to make the list, so that's what I did.

I omitted some where it wasn't clear if they posted miles or kilometers.
Gen 3 or 4 Camrys & Solaras only, no Lexus.
Gotta be your Camry, not your uncle's, grandpa's, or one you saw in your shop.

If I missed anyone, or made any mistakes, just let me know and I'll make corrections. I'll update this as needed.

around 260,000 miles

racyim · Sep 6, 2022

I have 361000 miles on my 2005 Camry… on our way back from Florida to Indiana now. A great car !

Cyorke · Nov 11, 2005

When I was working for a Toyota Dealership in the mid 90's we had a regualr customer witha Gen 1 taht had over 330k miles on it. IT looked brand new. HE took extremely goodcare of the car and always had normal maintenance done at or before schedule. That is one of the only high mileage cars that we would work on a regualr basis because he was a regualr customer.

We had some one trade one it at the dealership I was selling at recenlty and it had 273k miles on it or so.

white90dx · Nov 11, 2005

My old '90 had 267k miles on it when I crashed it. My current '90 has over 320k miles on it.... still going just fine with the turbo (soon to be a new motor though...)

damn!!!!

330k? pretty impressive. why would a dealership take in a camry with 273k miles on it?

sbagdon · May 9, 2019

Face it... the 5S will one day be the metric of reliability, for non-diesel motors. These motors, when taken care of, will last forever.

Because someone will buy it. If it had had proper oil changes and timing belts, there's still a few 100k miles left in it.

05Cam-Weasel said:
well let's calculate it. if a toyota had 1,000,000 miles on it: w/ it being 16 yrs old

every year: put 62,500 every year
roughly every month: put 5300 miles
every day: 171 miles

PERSONALLY, I WOULD DIE DRIVING THAT MUCH!:clap: :whatwhat: :lol:

There was a story floating around about someone doing greyhound rescue deliveries from S-FL, using an F-series, averaging 1k miles/day, broke 1mil in like 3-4 yrs? That's when they found out the odo would stop at 999999.9, and wouldn't flip over.

just broke 304k miles... might break 306k this month, if not, real close.

throwback · Nov 11, 2005

That Question Also Confuses Me. What The Hell Would A Dealership Want With A 273k Mile Camry? Neways My Grandma Sold Her Carrola 10 Years Back And It Had 250k Miles On It And We Recently Saw It Running On The Road Still. We Were Surprised.

midnightmach · Nov 11, 2005

LMAOOOOOO I have 340 000 and it still runs great. 92 camry

throwback · Nov 11, 2005

THATS FREAKIN AWESOME TO HEAR. GOOD CHOICE IN CAR HUH, ANY OTHER CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD BY NOW.:thumbsup:

barthmonster · Nov 11, 2005

'94 with 234,500 miles creepin' up on you!! My secret??: 10,000 mile oil changes and either Mobil 1 or Amsoil. Havn't set the valve clearance even once yet!!

Brad

crazycamrywagon · Nov 11, 2005

90 dx with 240,000 on it it still runs strong great cars to own:thumbup:

Dj-torn · Nov 12, 2005

I don't remember who it was but somebody posted a pick of their Gen 2 or 3 starting all over again. So if that counts then 999,999.9

JetspeedCamry · Nov 12, 2005

^ I doubt it!...unless the motor was rebuilt multiple times!!! Imagine the amount of driving u'd have to do to clock up a million miles in only 16 years!!

Well if they drove like a semi. When I was trucking I would put in 800 miles per day.

To quote the Guinness Book of World Records 2005 edition:

"Highest Car Mileage--A 1966 Volvo P-1800S owned by Irvin Gordon (USA) has covered IN EXCESS of 2,219,751 miles (3,572,342 KM) by March 2004. The car is still be driven on a daily basis and covers more than 100,000 miles (160,000 KM) per year, thanks in part to being driven to numerous events in Europe and USA."

That would be overkill for me. :deadhorse :lol: :whatwhat:

Phat Devil · Nov 12, 2005

Maybe it was a taxi-like service.

I have seen 5 year old taxis clock up over 500,000 km. (thats 316,000 miles)

Not totally out of the question. My brother in law is in sales and for a while had to drive his own car and was reimbursed for it. On average he was putting about 4000 miles a month on his car. If you are in sales and get the money a lot of people would just as soon drive their own car to make the mileage money.

telecycle78 · Nov 26, 2022

I was reimbursed for driving my own truck. It was a losing proposition because the wear and tear along with the extra miles devalued the vehicle. However, most of my travel was by air so I didn't rack up a ridiculous number of miles.

Tommy · Nov 12, 2005

yea my dad can drive 1500 miles a week easy when he's working outside sales. He drives a company van though, which has 250k miles on it, only had 100k when he got it 3 years ago.

ModifierMR · Nov 12, 2005

One customer i had , was a traveling preacher or something, and she has been all around america. Her Gen 3 Camry had 450,000 miles on it

My Current Cars:

2003 Toyota Camry, 1 year ago had 6,400 miles on it when i got it, and now has 29,000! All thanks to my damn pizza delivery job i had. 1200 a week.

1990 Toyota Camry, 78,000 miles and in mint condition, i almost never drive it. It was my first car.

dna59 · Nov 12, 2005

I hate using my car for jobs. I had a messenger job where I had to use my own car. I quit that shit since also they didn't give me any kind of allowanc for my car or anything. Just my normal pay and the pay wasn't even that much. So I said eff that it isn't worth it to put my car through that.

how the hell did he drive to an event in europe?

Cyorke · Nov 12, 2005

ship it over by boat or plane and then drive it the rest of the way. I wouldnt be surprised if VOlvo is paying for this guy to go to events and do marketing and things like that.

Zandro · Nov 12, 2005

The most km ive seen on a Camry is 875000km it was a 1gen
turboDiesel Camry 85 mod if i remember right, he had only normal
service on it, other than that he changed seat 2 times because of wear and
the exhaust system.

875000km=543700miles

Bluecam6 · Nov 13, 2005

I have 297085 miles = 478307 km on my 89 V-6 Camry. The body is rusty but it still
runs very good. I have to drive in a lot of salt here during the winters in Nebraska. I just
put my 4th set of back brake pads on and the fronts will need replaced next year.

JetspeedCamry · Nov 13, 2005

^ Woah! I hope my 88 V6 lasts that long!! Nice

BadChicken · Nov 13, 2005

Had a camry roll through the shop last week with 520,000 on the clock. No really mechnical problem, just buttons and stuff were starting to fall apart.

Diehonda · Nov 13, 2005

Put 167K on mine before I totalled it. Saw a Gen 3 with 700K at a car show awhile back though
