how long is the average life span of a Toyota Camry?

My car is a 94 Camry, it has 215k miles on it, how long does the motor last? mile wise. I change the oil every 3000 miles since I got the car a year ago when it had 203k on it.

    That's a good question. i have a work associate that has over 400K miles on his '92 Camry with original, untouched engine. He replaced the transmission at 343,000 miles, but the engine remains original and runs well. My mother in-law has a 1994 LE and it is pushing 300K trouble-free miles. 4 cylinders tend to outlive the V6s. I believe that the fact that the 4 cylinders have cast iron blocks where as the V6 has an aluminum block is part of the reson for this. Another possibility is that Toyota has nearly perfected the 4 cylinder engine. However, I have seen a few V6s with over 300,000 miles on them as well.

    I actually have a ninety 4 Camry and basically positioned over $1000 in it for maintenance -- front axles, struts, new battery, top rear bearing, transmission filter out and fluid replace and a sparkling tire. It has 206,000 miles. i could desire topersistent it to at 250,000 miles. for this reason the motor continues to be reliable and that i think of it is extra fee-effective to maintain this automobile than replace it with yet another which will fee lots extra beneficial than the maintenance. on your case you will would desire to come to a decision if a sparkling engine would be a reliable flow. How are the different structures interior the motor vehicle? With purely 60K and if it is been properly maintained then purely those issues will would desire to get replaced that generally positioned on out on any automobile. the heart and soul of the motor vehicle will serve you properly previous the one hundred,000 mile mark and once you sell it you will locate it has retained extraordinarily reliable value. i could advise fixing it in case you may get it performed quite.

    I have a 96 V6 LE I picked up @ auction.. 275,000 and the engine is in great shape. Despite needing some work to replace the engine MOUNTS, and valve cover.. I see this gem lasting 5 or more years @ 12-13 K miles per.

    great cars for sure.

    I have owned many of them and treat each one to an oil change every 3k miles and annual maintenance. They can go over 250k miles without any trouble so you should have at least 3-4 years left before buying a newer one. I get tired of them before they wear out (or get totaled, 5 times)

    With enough TLC it can go for 300k. There is no limit for a car, just maintaining. It's just that after 200k it might be a hassle and not worth replacing and fixing things.
