I can tell you that to keep an import on the street for 200k miles will cost quite a bit more than a domestic car!
It all depends though. Toyota and Honda cars are very "repairable". Stuff is generally serviceable. Timing belts can be done in under 8 hours usually, and many of their 4-cylinders can take as little as 3-4 hours.
OTOH - Some domestics (especially Daimler era Chyslers) builds cars that can't be easily serviced, and jobs like timing belts can exceed the value of the car when it comes due, so many owners opt instead to "drive it 'till it dies". Then there's the European makes, who combine complex jobs with expensive parts, so its not wonder you can buy a 10 your old luxury sedan for way less than a 10 year old Camry.
