Hello all,

I am looking to purchase a used Camry. I currently drive about 300 miles a week to get to and from work ( my work is 30 miles away one way from where I live). And also take a few road trips each year ( 3-5 hour trips one way).

Would a a Toyota Camry from year 2017-2021 with 40,000-70,000 miles be able to handle something like this? Along with other daily driving (like local driving around town, grocery store,etc.).

Would anyone have any recommendation on the year and mileage of the Camry I should look into to get the best value?

What mileage would I need to begin replacing parts?

    The Camry is like the Corolla; you’ll probably need to upgrade before the car just dies.

    There’s stories out there with people with 200K+ miles on Corollas and Camrys and not having to replace any major parts other than stuff that normally breaks down (brakes, tires, shocks, struts, etc. in addition to normal maintenance). I’ve only had to replace the alternator on my Corolla and outside of little things I’ve gotten 150K miles out of mine and 13 years of almost trouble-free ownership.

    That Camry is going to last you for a while.
