How far do you want to drive it? My SO drove her late 80's Camry to
over 200k miles. It was driven away when she sold it. I thought the
car was ready for the junk yard at 150k, but she kept going for
another year and half with liberal applications of oil and
transmission fluid. There were buyers for the hulk when she finally
got tired of the grass dying because of the ATF leaks.

Almost any car can make 200k miles with decent maintenance. The
question is whether or not you want to be driving it when it makes it.
I've had a couple of vehicles that were in good shape at 150k miles
(1997 Expedition for one) and some that were ready for the scrap heap
at less than 100k (1982 Cressida for one).

Maintenance, driving style, where you are located, your willingness to
pay for repairs, and your tolerance for decay are all important
determining factors in whether or not you will be willing to drive
your Toyota for another 20k, 30k, or 100k miles. I am confident that
my SO and my Sister will be driving their late model RAV4s (one '07,
one '08) until they have well over 150k miles (barring a wreck). I am
also confident that I wouldn't want to be regularly driving either one
of them after they pass 100k miles.
