I have an 2019 Camry SE with a 4 cylinder engine. I’ve kept up with the maintenance just did a tune up, new tranny flush, new brakes, new filter, new oil change every 5-7k miles. I just recently got hired at this job and my job makes me drive to different stores 3-4 times a day in between 5-30 miles per store. I now have 158k miles on it. I used to drive to work further 120 miles a day before that’s why my miles is so high. But I also have a lifetime warranty on the engine and transmission. So far I haven’t had nothing happened yet to the car just tire pressure being on.

Let me know what’s the key to maintaining this car I would love to have it last until my payments are paid still owe 10k. Just skeptical about it because of my job and having to keep turning it on and off this is my only personal vehicle.

    25 years if you’re careful. I’m driving around a 2003 right now alive and kickin at 217k miles. DO YOUR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES, and it’ll last as long as you want. Skipping out on maintenance is no joke. Even a Camry can throw a rod without enough oil.

    Should get at least 300k before needing any major repairs, most likely more if you’re keeping up with maintenance. Most parts are pretty cheap, too, so you could also just fix whatever breaks and keep on going.

    My friend had a 2012 prius, spun a bearing around 360k miles, engine blew at 370k. $1600 for a used engine (replaced it himself) and had 650k on it when he sold it. Been Toyota and lexus lover ever since.

    1000 years. Or 6 months. Whatever, we don’t know. A long time most likely.

    I have a Camry that is hitting close to 300k after 11 years. I change the oil every 10k, change the transmission fluid every 50k-70k. I only use Toyota oil filters.

    If you take care of it? Yes. In my experience, if you take care of a Toyota, it’ll last you as long as you want to keep driving it.
