Basically a vehicle that didn't need much maintenance and got alot of miles put on it

Had a Chevy metro for a work vehicle that had close to 215k miles on it when it finally died. Didn't put much money in it at all. It's the only car I ever got 200k on.

I usually get rid of my new cars before they hit 100,000, but I've had many work vehicles that had over 100k. They usually needed repaired quite often. Living in the rust belt puts wear and tear on them.

Just bought my wife a Camry that has a lifetime warranty on it and we're hoping to keep it until it dies. Hopefully I get the miles out of it that I hear a bunch of people get. I've never owned a Toyota, but I always hear good things.

1974 Chevy K5 Blazer. Bought it as a freshman at LSU for $250 cash from an old lady. It was rusted through in multiple locations and looked like hell. Figured that at $250 if it would last me a couple of months I was ahead of the game. I drove it for five years and it wouldn’t die. Sold it for $500. Put gas, oil, wipers, tires, a muffler and a water pump on it in all that time.

1997 4Runner. Got it right before I went off to college in the fall of 98 and it is still running with just regular maintenance. Just hit 362k miles. Retired it to backup duty a few years ago but still get compliments on it. Great car.

'96 4Runner that I had for 120k miles from high school to college. Supercharged it, drag raced it, took it to the spillway a bunch of times. It was a tank.

1989 Buick Century. Purchased for $500. Drove it for 2 years before it died. Sold it for scrap for around $250. Put $0 in it

Eta: Guy who sold it to me claimed he sold it to me for $100 so tax and registration was dirt cheap

91 Honda Accord. Never really had any major work done on it and got rid of it with 250,000 miles. It was beginnign to develop some problems though when I got rid of it. Great car.

Also had a 2000 Expedition that served me well. No major problems and got 230,000 out of it. It had a failing transmission when I got rid of it.

It's crazy how many people are hear get 300k miles out of their Toyota trucks, SUVs and cars. If I end up liking this Camry, I might buy a Toyota truck when my Wrangler is paid off

2007 4Runner I bought new and sold last year after putting 250,000 on it. All I ever did was change the oil, tires, and brakes. I actually regret trading it in when I did

1988 Dodge 250 Cummins and a 1998 Jeep Cherokee 4.0. Both were as bullet proof as anything on the road.

‘01 GMC Sierra Z71

Hand me down from my uncle. Came off the farm, I took it to college, and it went right back on the farm when I went back to the farm. Still ticking on another farm last I heard.
