Spend it all on blow. Turn around and sell all the blow to you ****'s for double what I paid, buy a house and go on a nice vacation.

Just hit 200k and I have all the paperwork for anything done on this vehicle...nothing besides regular oil changes and inspections. I'd like to see a domestic vehicle with the same history.

meh my s10 blazer hit 200k before it rear ended someone. Jap cars usually last longer then American ones do but 200k isn't that out of the ordinary.

Only work I've had to do for this vehicle is rust repair on the rockers cause the people that owned it before me used it strictly for a winter vehicle for 3 years in a row. They didn't wash the car or anything when they put it in the garage for the summer, and with all the salt on the roads up here it just started rusting. There is one hole on each rocker and surprisingly is only about the size of your fist which makes fixing it a breeze. I've seen some cars where the whole rocker looked like it would fall off at any minute.

I can't deny that but people play off that and try to sell 10+ year old cars like that with 200+ miles for stupid high prices. If rather save a few thou and get a dosmetic.

Good miles but nothing out of the ordinary.

My first car was a auto 1 owner 97 cavi. 207k and all it needed was a tps, valve cover gasket, alt and 2 tune ups.

I just got rid of a '03 Suburban with 180,000 miles, swapped it for a '05 Altima with 90,000..just because the 'burban got 9-12mpg. My wifes' 01 Suburban has 267,000 miles and still gets 14 city and 18 mpg hwy..that is the only reason we keep it...never done anything to them but brakes and tires once in awhile.

Depends on the make/model. Some cars will be a dream for 200k, others will be an absolute nightmare. Any car can "make" it to 200+, it about how much it's costs to get ya there. A transmission isn't out of the ordinary for

the camry is a good car...i like the fact that nissan is one of the only manufacturers that uses a actual timing chain instead of a belt on their smaller engines...I have seen many, many cars bite the dust due to a timing belt failure....and cruising down the Interstate at 80 mph when one lets loose in a hyundai will cost an easy 3 grand to fix...ruins the head, bends the valves punch holes in pistons and can spin a crank bearing or two

what would you all suggest used?

I've never understood timing belts. Prob the most retarded, penny pinching part automakers used on such an important part of the vehicle.

I for one will never buy a car with a tb.
