2002 Toyota rav4. They say If it makes it to 250,000 it’s going another 250,000. Mine is at 270 and everything is fine. Original AC still blows cold. Still gets 32 mpg. Passenger window switch is glitchy. That’s the only problem. Feel blessed.

When I was a youth back in the 60s, my first car was a ‘65 Olds 442. Great car but it took a lot of work to keep it on the road. Got to be a fair shade tree mechanic even though I didn’t want to be. So back then I thought the ideal car would be one that would run for ten years or 100,000 miles before I had to look under the hood. I knew it was just a daydream. Currently I have a 2018 Camry that is closing in on 100,000 miles, and with routine 5000 mile free dealer maintenance plan, I have never had to “look under the hood.” Neither have the dealer mechanics had to fix anything. So there are alternatives.

Most new vehicles are good for 200,000 miles. It’s the darned scheduled maintenance that drains a person’s checkbook.
