Hit 100k miles today on my 2015 Camry. Granted it had 88k miles when I bought it in 2022, so really I only added 12k miles in last 22 months or about 600 miles per month.
I’m driving about half the rate of the previous owner who would have to hit 1k miles per month to reach 88k in 7 years.
Decade more to go…2032
Ideally, I want this car to last me an additional 70-90k miles or 10-13 more years if I continue to drive 7k miles per year.
170-190k seems reasonable as I test drove another 2015 Camry before buying this one that had that much mileage and it drove effortlessly. I opted for the 88k mile Camry for obvious reasons. My greater concern is not the mileage, but the number of years and it’ll hit 8 years of age in 2023 and 15 years by 2030. That seems to be the max age for a typical Camry…and that was about when I sold my Lexus (2007-2022) so it’s plausible.
Maybe 2 Decades…2042
I’m willing to be ambitious and go for 20 years or 2042 with 233k miles. The Camry would be pushing 27 years if it lasts that long. For now I’ll target 2032.
Update - 11/16/23 - Great car
Nobody will claim a Camry is an exciting sports car. But nobody should be buying one if they want a sports car.
I got it because I want an inexpensive and reliable method of transportation and it delivers. Even with the $3k in repairs, that’s expected with a used car hitting 100k miles. I should expect little issue for next few years.
Update 3/16/24 - 100k mile sticker
Toyota sent me a 100k mile sticker. All you have to do is send them proof like a photo of your odometer and they send it in the mail. No cost.
