Our family had a 2004 camry(kinda) that went 160k miles on ZERO maintenance. Of course, once I took over it, it took about $3500 but it would have gone another 50k miles (and still is under a new owner) no problem.

Your average mid market car doesn't cost that much to maintain, unless you buy a CVT vehicle out of warranty, or are truly terrible on your vehicle somehow.




They drove a car 160,000 miles without changing the oil?


I had a friend in high school who literally drove his (used) Civic every day for five years and never once changed the oil. You'd be amazed how well synthetic oil holds up in an engine designed for long term reliability.
