I've got a high km Gen 4 4cyl camry which was an ex fire-dept car. I bought it at 242,000kms and now have driven it to 277,000 kms. It had regular log book servicing until 220,000 kms as indicated in the log book and so far I've spent about $1000 for necessary servicing on it incl: 1) Spark plug change 2) Oil change (and thereafter every 10,000kms) 3) Front struts replaced (was leaking) 4) Timing belt replaced (it was replaced once before at 100,000kms) 5) Auto transmission fluid flushed 6) All brake pads replaced 7) Rear discs skimmed Of course, I've changed several things as well such as lowered springs, wheels and tyres which were not necessary "maintenance" but with regular maintenance, it drives ok for a high km car...you can't expect it to drive "like new" at this high kms. Also important to shop around for a good reliable mech that does not charge high prices...I was lucky to be recommended to a mech from one of the members of another camry forum...
