My 2005 Toyota Camry has about 150,000 on it and shows no signs of quitting just yet.

The 95-96 Camry is not on the list. Tells me the list is selective. My guess is that it’s tipped in favor of GM.

I have a 1999 camry that is at 127,000, and doing fine.

the biggest issue with the old design camrys is the fact that they used timing belts instead of chains....and those belts tend to fail at about 100k or so.

with a new belt...figure another 100k of life, with proper engine maintenance...oil changes, etc.

my kid had a 97 that lasted 185k, but I suspect he did not change the oil as regularly as he should have.

usually, the drivetrain will outlast the body on those old camrys. I have a 2009 venza in my garage now, next to the 99 camry....I love that venza. plan to drive it to 200k, also.
