Long-Term Concerns:

Oil Consumption: As Camry models age, they may start consuming more oil, particularly if the piston rings o r valve seals wear out.

Suspension Wear: High-mileage cars often experience suspension wear, leading to reduced comfort and handling performance.

Maintenance Tips:

Regularly change the engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant.
Monitor the condition of the timing belt or chain and spark plugs.
Inspect the suspension components and replace them as needed.

Engine Rebuild o r Replacement:

After 200,000 km, some owners may consider an engine rebuild, especially if the car starts to consume excessive oil o r experiences significant wear. This decision depends on the overall condition of the vehicle.
