Most people don’t touch their ‘sealed units’ because they last so long.

You seem detached from reality. Let me ask you, ya think most people are going to get 250 or 300k + out of one of these late model platforms that look like just like shoes? Will all that plastic hold up? lol...

You must not remember when we had to put pieces of aluminum under the floor mats to cover the rust holes in the floor boards.

In olden days, people bragged about getting 100k miles. Now a Toyota is not considered ‘broken-in’ till it has 100k miles on it.

My SIL took her Camry in for servicing at about 175k. After seeing the oil they asked her when the last time she changed her oil.

She replied, “You are supposed to change the oil?”

At 200k she gave the car to her brother. He is up to about 300k on it.

Ten cars you can expect to last more than 250k miles.

Body on frames hold up best, but Toyota Avalon and Honda Accord make the grade too.

The heart of the family sedan market, Impala, Camry and Maxima rank equally.
