I knew you would make it. The Toyota cars are well built, high quality automobiles. My immediate family has owned 20 or so of them over the past 20 or so years and not one of us has ever had a major failure. The last four Toyotas my parents bought did not require one single warranty repair within the warranty period (my parents don't keep cars past the warranty expiration.) Other family members have had repairs, but you can't expect any car to go 200K without any repairs.
The 1992 Camry was a Godsend for my Grandma. She had many other cars while she owned the Camry. The new '86 Jag XJ6 she bought in 1985 was broken down all the time, but the Camry never failed to get her from A to B and back. The 1995 Lincoln Continental she bought in 1994 was in the shop overnight at least 7 times in 2 years, but the Camry was there every time to get her around. The 1997 Continental she bought in 1996 had a bad electrical problem that the dealer couldn't fix. It failed to start because of a dead battery every time you parked the car more than two days. They replaced the battery no less than 5 times and the alternator three times, problem never was fixed. This entire time, the Camry never failed to start. Yeah it wasn't the nicest car ever, yeah it burned a little bit of oil, and yeah it was just a plane jane white Camry, but it was a damn reliable car.
