Beginning of 2012 my wife spun out in the snow and hit a tree, totaling the vehicle. Insurance gave us $4600. Total cost of the RAV4 for 7.5 years of use = $2600. You can't beat that. We replaced it with a used Camry. | | 2012-01-12 | 1992 Toyota Camry | xavier bernard | 220,075 | 4 cyl auto | water pump, freeze plug, and a tune up. | bought this car at 190k, even thought it had a lot of miles i knew that Toyotas are reliable vehicles and this Camry shows it. Went through two winters and she still kicking. I'm hoping that i can reach 500k with this reliable 92 Camry ^_^ | | 2012-01-11 | 1996 Toyota Tacoma | Skylar | 256,000 | 2.7 3rz i4 with a manual transmission | Starter, exhaust manifold, universal joint, low pressure ac line and power steering pump by mistake. | I had this truck from 143,000 miles and I loved it every day. When I replaced the power steering pump on this truck the power steering still didn't work, that's when I noticed I had a small crack in the rubber hose leading to it. Since I had already done the work, I left the new pump in. I just sold the truck because I got a v6 extended cab tacoma that needed some love. | | 2012-01-09 | 1995 Geo or Chevy Prizm | Mr.Matt | 200,625 | Fwd | | | | 2012-01-07 | 2006 Toyota Camry | adrianne t | 203,684 | v4 automatic | Replaced brakes, oil pan repealed, overall normal wear and tear | I love my camry, it was once a company car which I had the privilege of acquiring.

| | 2012-01-05 | 1993 Toyota Corolla | Known, not shown | 235,500 | 1,8 ltr automatic | NONE | Had a tune up today at the Toyota dealership. BIG MISTAKE, they found $2500 worth of various work that needs to be done. Most of the work is due to oil leaks here and there and a high pressure power steering fluid line that is seeping. I am so upset because the car is really not worth spending that kind of money. I guess I'll just drive it until it quits. I wish I hadn't just put new tires on it. I thought the quality was better than this with Toyota. | | 2012-01-03 | 2003 Toyota Tacoma | Dave M | , | V6 manual trans | None | No major repairs ever. Just regular maintenance and oil changes every 3000 miles and don't run the truck to death. I think it will go on for several more years. Body and frame are in very good condition. When I take the truck in for oil changes, they can't beleive I have this many miles on it. | | 2012-01-03 | 1989 Toyota Corolla | Austin1993 | 315,667 | 1.6L 90 hp i4,5 speed manual drive,front wheel | Monroe struts and mounts all the way around...added aftermarket audio...upped rim size to13s... | | | 2012-01-01 | 1991 Toyota Previa | Adam I. | 296,000 | 4 cyl, auto transmission | NONE - Just general maintenace | one of two cars i have with just under 300k miles (the other is a 92' volvo 240), SUPER RELIABLE...Drive for work and play...never lets me down. Only complaint is that it is not very good in the winter (unlike toyota corrola's. Still super nice and has only a dime size spot of rust, underneath is still like new. does leak oil from distrubor o-ring, but that is only problem with this Previa. | | 2011-12-29 | 1999 Toyota Camry | Nick Hancock | 343,000 | 3.0 1MZFE, automatic | Timing chain, battery. | | | 2011-12-26 | 2004 Toyota Camry | James Otton | 224,800 | 4 cyl | Catalytic converter. 224,800miles | | | 2011-12-21 | 1998 Toyota 4Runner | Known, not shown | 218,600 | 2.7L 4-CYL. - 5 speed manual. 2WD | Rear axle seals and axle shafts at dealer due to an accident where the body shop didn't do the seals right and didn't diagnose the axles correctly. Never have a body shop do mechanical work. Dealer warranty to replace gasket on top of manual transmission. Is weeping again, not bad. | Best built car I've ever had. Used Mobil 1 and good filters. Use good Toyota air filter. Tried to save money once with cheap one and MAP sensor went out. Oil doesn't get dirty until 10k miles. Even then it's still see through. Still have original brakes, a lot of highway driving. Rotors need to be trued. Still over 50% of brake pad left. Still gets 27 to 29 mpg highway. Suspension still like new. Will get another Toyota or Scion XD (for mpg)if needed. | | 2011-12-17 | 2002 Toyota Sequoia | Katy Smith | 200,153 | auto 8 cyl, limited edition | rack and pinion | This is the most awesome vehicle!

Still gets ~ 28MPG | | 2011-12-15 | 1994 Toyota Tacoma | Gary Ainsworth | 275,000 | 3VZE with automatic | 2 head gasket replacements, transmission replaced (lost reverse) | This was my first 3.0 V-6 engine (and last!) I owned several pickups in the past with the 20R and 22R 4 bangers. The 4 cylinder engines were much easier to work on and the reliability was unbelievable. I can't really complain about the 3.0 reliability other than the head gasket issue, but I will say that they are MUCH more difficult to repair due to the amount of space they consume along with an engine design that limits accessibility. Also, this is my first automatic in a pickup (and last!). I'm going back to my 4 and 5 speeds. (Maybe I will try a 6 speed!) | | 2011-12-12 | 1997 Toyota Camry | Tony & Katie Aguire | 235,100 | V6, 4 speed auto | none | 67,000, timing belt and tensioner. 137,000 Timing belt and tensioner. 192,000 Timing belt, tensioner, water pump, front and rear struts, control arms, strut tops, transmission flush.

Still gets 27 MPG and dipstick still reads full at 3000 mile oil changes with none added.Best car I have ever owned... | | 2011-12-12 | 2005 Scion Tc | Chuck Fry | 200,672 | 2.4l 2azfe, 5 sp. manual | Clutch @ 109,000 miles, front wheel bearings @ 169,000 miles, sway bar bushings, shifter linkage cable @ 198,000 miles. All other routine maintenance. | This car has been awesome. I bought this car as a gift to myself after graduating high school, mind you that I was not easy on her for most her life. Mostly driven highway from Indiana to Chicago for work, and has had numerous road trips. Drove from Indiana to Phoenix with 178k and it ran like a champ fully loaded with camping gear through the mountains. It is loosing its pep and does burn a bit of oil now a days, but I am sure the valves guides and cyclinder walls are plenty worn in so I would expect that. I am thinking about putting a new engine in when this one fails. All in all best car I have every had. | | 2011-12-09 | 1986 Toyota 4Runner | brian stewart | 293,466 | 4cyl,r22re efi 4x4 | i replaced the transmisson with a rebuilt one about 6 years ago | 86 4runner, with the removable hard top, | | 2011-12-07 | 1989 Toyota Camry | John Foppiano | 375,000 | eng 2.0 3s-fe, trans 2 wheel drive 5 speed | none | Coming soon to the camry a 3s-gte about 250 hp and all wheel drive.

Changed the oxygen sensor and one other. | This car rocks! Totally rocks. I have put every mile on this car since I bought it new. Only reason I had to replace the front exhaust pipe was because I hit something. Car's a tank. The rust from 8 years in NY will kill it before the motor dies.

Single sensor was broken, but only the entire assembly was available on a Sunday at 7:00 PM, self diagnosed to "spark plug will not fire" and then called tow truck. Thankfully part was nearby and available. Not usually a fan of Pep Boys (actually hate with passion), but this particular Service manager ran an honest shop.
Have been fighting a code 71 for a few years. Pops on/off. Usually just long enough to clear CA smog checks. EGR system. Consistent 32 MPG.
Back end appears "loose" and wants to wander during hard turns. Am used to a Saturn SC, and German Built VW Golf, both which corners like on rails. Not sure if it is rear shocks, or just design. | | | 2011-11-19 | 2003 Toyota Corolla | Kimmypop | 230,0007 | 4 cyl | | | | 2011-11-19 | 2005 Toyota Corolla | john eckstein | 282,000 | 1.8 ,auto. | n0ne | amsoil, that's all you need to know | | 2011-11-17 | 2003 Toyota Avalon | Wicked Pete | 206,000 | 3.0 liter - 4 speed auto | none, maintenance items only. | Synthetic oil every 7,500 miles.
