200 000 kilometers.

 

Congrats

 

congrats! on to another 200km!

 

nice! I'll be there in a few years.

 

Just out of curiousity... How long have you had the car? What kind of repairs have needed to be done?

 

Wow, just seeing 200K whether kilometers or miles on a car is amazing. The only car I've ever gone over 200K miles in was my late great 1993 Camry LE.

 

Congrats on the 200k! That's awesome

 

I got another 5000 and I'll be right there with you

 

I'm still driving my '94 Camry LE. The insurance on it is running out in a week. As much as I hate its looks, as the time nears to say goodbye to it, I'm getting nostalgic with it. It's been incredibly reliable and while it only has 110k miles, it's been through a lot. Toyota probably made THE most reliable car with this model. Just look at how many of these are still on the road today. More of these Camrys are on the road than any other car from its generation.

Statistically, I wonder if there is any other car that is more reliable than it.

 

ME TOO MY 93 CAMRY LX HAD 255,000 AND STILL GOING STRONG!!!!!! (ORIGINAL MOTOR AND TRANNY)

 

Thanks for responses. On to the next 200K indeed.

I've had it for almost 4.5 years, and over 90K kms. It got banged up in a mishap about 4 years ago. The bumper, hood, left fender and left headlight were replaced. Aside from that it's just been regular maintenance and mostly trouble-free motoring.

The issues I've had are wear on mostly non-vital components. The engine and transmission have been solid. The transmission does shift a little sloppier than when I got it, but I do enjoy spirited driving often. I've gotten good at feeling out the gears by now, especially in stop and go.

The issues specifically are:
- The sun roof closes then partially re-opens occasionally. This is probably the safety system detecting resistance and re-opening. It's an occasional occurrence, and I usually stop the sun roof just before it closes, then finish closing it and that works for me.

- The Nakamichi freezes the equivalent of once every three months. When I restart the car, the problem disappears. It has happened a few times in close proximity, and then years apart from another cluster. I have no idea what the story behind it is.

- Recently the outside temperature has occasionally stopped registering and the HVAC system has failed to work. This is a big concern. Of course when I took it in, the system was working, and has been working since. The codes it threw make me think the air inlet servo motor may need changing.

- The car has had some vibration in the steering wheel at certain speeds on the highway since I got it. Alignments, steering tightening, etc has reduced it, but never really eliminated it. Different tired exentuate and reduce it as well. And sometimes when I drive I don't think it's there, and others it's very apparent. This is a well documented issue with the car.

There may be other minor things I'm forgetting. My car is no where as pristine as some of the cars on this board, but it still gets looks and I'm proud and happy to drive it. I'm very happy with how well it has held together up to now and may end up driving it into the ground, like you guys with the 93 Camrys. And it will be hard to convince me not to get a Lexus as my next car. I've often considered swapping the 400 for a newer 430. We'll see...
