Im a mechanic and have been working on all generations of Camrys for many years now, and from my experience the 1998 to 2002 model camrys were the most reliable ever built. The smaller version 3.0 ltr v6 is in my opinion one of the most bullet proof & more fuel effecient than the bigger 3.5 v6 version.
Do you mind me asking if you would say to get a 2011 Camry or 2014 Camry? I’m looking at them right now and am unsure which is more reliable and less to repair
Early 90s-01 are still all over the roads today. Almost just as much as these 2020 and up models. They are almost bulletproof in reliability and just work!
My 2001 Camry 4 Cyl with 252K miles and Running like a champ, but I'm a sales rep and that's my company car, I cover the 1/2 of Florida in that car so soon I'll replace it, I'll go with the 2014 SE 4 Cyl.
I'm looking over a 2014 Toyota Camry SE V6. When the car is idle, I can turn the steering wheel with no play and no clunking sound, but when I am driving, I hear and feel a quiet knocking sound felt near inside the steering wheel. Do you know what this can be?
I can slide in/out of my 2003 car with ease. Does anyone know when the seat design changed to those dreaded raised sides. Don’t want a car with them. Thanks
The 2017 was the last great Camry. The 2018 and up barley made a Ok Camry if you overlook all it's problems. The new Camry's are junk. I hated my 2020. It was a piece of junk that confused itself to the point of not knowing if it wanted to slam on the brakes or go FWD. I replaced it with a 10 year old Ford before it's second oil change.
@@sersolo3112 You were lucky. I'm not trying to be a smart ass but I found out people don't pay attention to things till I ask. Does your speedometers, digital and analog, match? Mine was 2 to 3 MPH different. If the digital speed showed 70, the analog showed 67. The analog was the correct one to use. Cruise control the was also off by 3 MPH. I had to set the cruse a couple MPH higher to get the car to go that fast. Gas gauge read right? I could drive it over 400 miles and the needle would still be above full but drop like a rock in 30 miles to almost empty. Did it smell like it was overheating on hot days? Does your feel like the car was just hit by another car when it shifts? The constant shifting and that hood flopping around was annoying me to no end. A little gust of head wind would cause the car to start shifting process all over again. I thought the paint was destroyed a few times when big trucks met me on the back roads because that hood bent so much. Does yours slam on the brakes or slow down with cruise set for no reason because it sees ghost? Jerk in to oncoming lanes because the painted road lines aren't perfect? All this is normal for the car according to Toyota. I had to go the forums to get answers from the thousands of complaints about the same things. I tried to show them how to duplicate other problems but the dealer wasn't interested. I dumped that piece of junk before 20k miles because it annoyed me too much and Toyota made no attempt to fix the problems. They knew these cars had problems. We get to see now that most of the new Toyota models have serious problems. I paid a lot of money for rental cars if I had to drive far away because I didn't trust my new Camry to make it. The car sat most of the time or it would have been out of warranty in less than two years.
@@brentkiely657 Yea hey.... that's Cool i had one before, back on 2013, it was A running horse, non-stop one ! would you send some photos ! Great news, Thanks buddy ! mine today is a 2001 LE, white
Owned 2 of them . . . Endless check engine lights and check VSC system lights that never go off . . . 02 sensor problems forever and endless mysterious engine problem codes . . . I couldn't get rid of them fast enough. Never again will I own a Toyota.
In my experience, it’s better to save as much money as possible before buying any vehicle. If you’re gonna purchase a good car then it’s probably best to wait on getting one until you can afford something reliable
Got dam lie 2001 is the all time best. I'll take a 01 over any Camry. That's not a joke people. If you want to get your money worth out of a used car get the old 01 or 99 hand's down. Ask a good Toyota mechanic he'll let you know.

@@DriftingStudent those models from my experience are not as reliable as the earlier models.
Exactly I got a Blue 2002 Camry(Love💙my bby) 😊
@@DriftingStudent if you dont have any more choice... I suppose you go for the 2014 (Best)
I had a 99 camry that I treated like shit and it never died lol
2015-17 are the best I like the looks and it has safety and reliability too.
07 camry here 146k i like the 15 to 17 and i like the 00 01 as well.

The 2005 -06 Camry were the best. Still drive mine 20 years & Going strong.
I drive 1996 toyota camry Le 4 cylinders 2.2L still runs like a brand new car fresh from the factory.

Bought in 2005, the 2006 SE-V6 3.3v now @255k miles it’s the best of all the Camry. Zero recall and Japan made.

I love my 2011. Not fancy but super reliable.
My 2010 Camry 2.5 4cyl have been the best car l ever own with 200k miles and still running just as strong as the day l purchased it.
Couple weeks ago I got a 2010 Camry LE with just under 145k miles on it. Got my fingers crossed it lasts a long time.
I can slide in/out of my 2003 car with ease. Does anyone know when the seat design changed to those dreaded raised sides. Don’t want a car with them. Thanks
what do you mean by by raised seats?
@@brentkiely657Raised edges of the seats. Not flat all the way across the seat. Are you pretending to not understand?
0:06 that’s an accord
😂
yes it is .
Never buy first year of a new Gen.
I got a 2010 Chevy Malibu with 241k miles no problems
2014 Camry is my baby... best of generations ! Am i correct ?

FORD = Fix Or Repair Daily.
@@herbcruz4697 I've had great luck with a 10 year Ford, so far. Much better luck than I had with that new Camry.
Love my 2018 wouldn't trade it for anything well maybe its big brother lexus es300h

2017 hands down the best
What about 2007?
2007 is supposed to be the worst year for the oil consumption issue on the 2.4 4 cylinder
@@brentkiely657 I am really sorry, yes unfortunately it was a turning point for toyota camry.... get a 2001/2002 instead. wish you luck

What about the 13 hybrid xle?
11 12 and 14 models are not that reliable
Yeah thats what i have found out also
Which engine in those years are the one that are unrelia?
I got a 2011 V4 Camry @200K miles and it’s still goin strong! I must be lucky then lol
Bro didn’t even mention the 2002 and 2003 model. They are the best

Doesn't cover older models that I can afford. Sounds like a Toyota salesman.
