That's your typical "quick steal and pull licks" car.
Everywhere across the nation.
I have a question Scotty is a 2008 Toyota matrix Xr manual transmission a good buy please help🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
scotty would you recommend the autel maxicheck pro scan tool for a consumer grade purchase?
Scotty, would you recommend a 2016 FRS
yes more knowledge and this is what I wanted
This will probably get lost in the comments, but I just wanted to say thank you, Scotty. My grandpa died when I was young and my dad left my mom when she was pregnant. I love cars and am always looking to expand my knowledge with how they work. I love watching your videos because you just seem so friendly and you're an amazing teacher. Kinda like the grandpa/dad I never had lol. I live here in East Texas so if I'm ever near Houston and need car repairs, I'm definitely coming to see ya haha
Sorry son, I wasn’t ready for a kid. Can you forgive me and give your ol dad a hug?
Out here in East Texas too mane pray things get better for you brother 🙏🏾
@@MidwinterEclipse ur messed up😂😂
@MidwinterEclipse
Why would you make a joke like that? The guy is pouring his heart out. Your life must really suck..
Got one for my son, $2500. Cherry condition. Owned by an old man who couldn't drive anymore. Rust free Florida car.
@soli Sanchez cherish it. get to point A to point B without incident. Will live longer than the earth lol.
hifi trucker very nice when he is through with it you might drive it haha 😂
Lucky son right there
The old man Probably sold it for Meth.
Florida
@@peoplesrepublicofliberland5606 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
94 Celica
Full size spare! Such a sight to see!
Matching alloy too. Such a great car.
I had this car 04 to be exact and it saved my life. Guy hit me from behind hard and later I was told that I'd could've been killed but the frame was well built and that's what saved me.
I had a brand new 2011 Hyundai Elantra that saved my life. A girl hit me from the driver side hard and I also was told that I'd have been killed if the frame hadn't been built so well and the car wouldn't have had air bags and seat belts. The air bag knocked me unconscious. I suffered a dislocated shoulder, a fractured rib and a punctured lung but I'm still alive to tell about it. I shudder to think what it would've been like if this had been in the 1950s when they had no safety devices in the cars!! Somewhere on TH-cam there is a crash test between a 1959 Chevy and a 2016 Chevy The newer Chevy absorbed the crash and the test dummy was not torn up. But the 1959 Chevy the test dummy had the steering column pierced through its chest and it was quite a mess.
@@glennso47 your hyundai left you horribly injured if you had a 1994 toyota celica you wouldn't have had a scratch and could have skipped black home to play checkers
Um... I'm sure whatever happened sucked pretty hard but rear end collisions are mostly about relative weight.
@@98triffid they are actually pretty dangerous since its always the shots you dont expect that knock you out, meaning you couldn't prepare for a rear end colission at all and the whiplash is so dangerous for your neck, being rear ended you lack even that split second to tense or whatnot. Or maybe i just misunderstood your comment
Maciej Kozieł i was t-boned on the driver’s side. The other car just appears out of nowhere and hits me and sets off the airbag. I wasn’t able to anticipate the force of the airbag or the force of the car hitting mine. Witnesses said that the other car had been going at least 50 mph in a 30 mph zone and ignoring traffic lights right and left.
I've owned one for 4 years and this car is awesome! Has more than 165,000 miles and runs like a dream and has never left me stranded, would definitely recommend for anyone looking for the most reliable car money can buy.
*My neighbors have a 2005 Camry with over 234k miles and a 2003 Camry with over 417k MILES! You can’t make this stuff up, amazing!*
We have a 08 Camry with 220k miles....consumes oil but runs good. Unfortunately ac starting to act up some
I got a 06 Accord with 160,000 I work for a courior service and drive 4,800 miles a month.....im shooting for 300,000 miles......before I sell it for $1,500 or so.
I know some can drivers, and I have seen Impala taxis, with 700,000 kilometers, all original.
No engine / No transmission, replacement / non rebuilt, all original.
I have seen this with my own eyes, in real life.
i know a guy with a 2001 new beetle and over 400k miles without a single problem. of course thats not true, but you can make this stuff up.
@@maklorn
I know thats not true because I know a VW mechanic and he warned my daughter not to buy a New Beetle....all kinds of electrical and sensor problems/power windows/ check engine lights....over and over same problems.
When the wheel squeaks on the Camry, it's kinda funny.
Squeaks on a Chrysler "these things were made like crap."
My 2003 is still going... 395,000 miles later
I got the same exact car 6 months ago but for $1,200 ;)
I sold my Buick Regal 2001 for $1,700 81k miles
How much you want for it?
Scott Baseball you shoulda looked for the nicer XLE Camry of the same gen those are so nice
@@805NAVE My mom drives one and absolutely loves it.
Bingo!
2002/2003 were bad years for engine head bolts stripping and falling out and then you have to spend a couple grand on new heads or a rebuilt engine! 2007-2009 were bad years for VVT system failures along with massive oil leaks that were expensive to fix! The best years were 1997-2001, 2004-2006, 2010 and newer! I picked out a 2.4 liter 2006 SE trim, which comes with upgraded suspension and 4 wheel ABS disk brakes, for my aunt with 170,000 miles and it's an excellent car!
I wish you would have made this video a year ago! I have an 02 Camry with just over 260k miles with the same check engine code. I ended up just replacing the catalytic converter with a cheap one. Still running great!
I bought a 2000 Camry LE with 250,000 on it in Dec.2019. Great car and oh so smooth. $800!
I own a 2004 Toyota Camry LE 2.4L, and I love how well it runs. In the months I've owned it, it has only misfired once. I had to replace my spark plugs, my valve cover gasket, and my second cylinder spark plug coil. Can confirm that 2002-2006 Camrys are the best.
"It's not a turd mobile!'
Scotty-isms are great!
I would have sold my mom's car.
Thanks to scotty. I decided to keep the 2001 avalon. With 110000. Miles on it. Runs and looks great.
Thanks Scotty!
I'm playing solitaire while listening to you.
At 3:13, you talk about the struts going out. Just as you hit the breaks, a commercial came on solitaire; it's one for a video game. The commercial starts out with a loud bang, so you hitting the brakes with an explosion in the background made me double take so I could be sure that you didn't just hit the stop sign.
I love my '02 camry! Japanese built neglected by previous owners, bought it for $2k with 200k mi., no leaks and doesn't burn oil. And runs well after performing all the routine maintenance & flushing all the fluids. Owned it for 3yrs, changed the oil every 5k mi. Ironically, my steering wheel squeaks the same way😆😆😆 It's the best daily driver I've ever owned.
Bought this car a few years ago in mint condition for 6000. It was garage kept and everything was maintained on time with all the paper work and maintained at Toyota. Very low mileage for a 04 with only 80,000 miles on it. Still runs like a clock!
Just bought an 06 Camry with 223k miles for $2100. As far as I can tell, it’s running great and rides smooth! I’m not mechanically minded so I’ve been binging a lot of your videos just trying to learn. Here’s to hoping it can go the distance!!
Scotty I have 5 Toyota cars but I still can’t wait to see your daily videos .. keep them coming
My mother has a 2003 Corolla she bought new. That car has never needed any work done except normal maintenance , brakes, exhaust and tires. It doesn't even have any rust problem underneath which is incredible since it has seen many winters in the North East.
I got the same exact car same year 4 years ago $1,200 went through me and my brother 300,000+ miles. All I did was change the oil. this things bulletproof!!
Oh and mine was a V-6
didnt ask
But who asked
Camry is immortal bro lmao
And the fact that's is a v6 is even more promising
@@keyan8585 didnt ask if you asked
I got a 2005 Camry, 3.0 V6 135,000 km just over a year ago. In amazing shape, $7500 CAD and full service history (old man car). Runs great, oil barely changes shade between 3000 mile changes. My only complaint is it's worse on gas than my 1.6L 4-cyl Kia, but the extra *oomph* is sure a lot of fun.
Gets about 20 mpg city, and I haven't had it on the highway yet. Going to probably be my car for the next 10 years at least so long as gas stays reasonably priced.
You know what. 7500 for a car that’s 15 years old. It tells you a lot. I was looking for a bmw 3 series and just for a comparison. With 7500 I think you can probably buy 2-3 of those bmws from the same year lol. Man toyota holds it value.
You may have over paid by about a $1000 on that one but at 135,000 Km, they're still brand new. It will do over 500K Kms easy. Those V6s are some of the best V6s ever made and will last a really long time if taken care of. If I were you, I'd get that Timing Belt Changed as soon as possible since its 15 years old now.
Yeah i think you overpaid by like 1 or 2 thousand for that😬
@@Boebus666 Depending on trim level, condition, service history etc. And from someone with 26 years auto industry experience, there is no such thing as a set vehicle value, a car is worth what someone is willing to pay.
@@KnightIndustries572 Exactly, it's always going to depend on the condition of the car too... Generally speaking, the nicer and cleaner the car is, it will be priced higher, but sometimes you can get lucky and some people will sell a car cheaper than what it's worth because they are very motivated or they just don't really know what their car's true value is...
Thank you Scotty. A very appropriate video for me now since I can barely afford $1,500!! Also, I dig on Toyotas. Scotty, you're an angel.
I got my Toyota Camry 2003 for $300. Its my first car. It needed some tune ups... but it works like a dream!!!
Where I work part of my job is making service parts for Toyota, so I know what vehicles last. The battery clamp on that Camry is one of the parts I make. I still occasionally ship trunk hinges for late 90's Avalons and radiator support brackets for the 97-01 Camrys. I love making parts to keep these vehicles on the road. We also supply service parts for Honda, GM, Ford and Chrysler.
What parts do you make for Acura RSX 2003?🤔
Bill King.....so what cars last?
@@louarmstrong6128 He mentioned Avalons and Camrys specifically. Also, by which parts he talked about, you know what those cars are going to need when they get old!
@@louarmstrong6128 The Camry, Avalon, Tacoma, Tundra, Accord, Odyssey, MDX. The orders are smaller for Ford and GM. We make Crown Vic bumper beams and the mounts we call crush cans. Radiator supports for the older Ford Focus. A few Ford explorer beams. The most shipped for GM would be the radiator supports for the 99-06 Chevy CK pickups and SUV.
@@Megatron995 battery clamp brackets are pretty common items, along with bumper brackets, bumper retainer strips, stabilizer bar brackets, wheel opening brackets. A lot of things you don't see unless there are repairs from a accident. There are right and left side parts and interestingly enough, vehicles must get hit on the driver's side more often because I ship more of those parts. What's funny is I'll look up the parts on eBay and if they have a picture of the part in the bag with the bar code sticker I can tell by the Julian date when it was made by me. I tell my employer they are lucky I'm not like Johnny Cash or I'd be taking parts "one piece at a time" and making some extra cash...
I drive 2008 Camry 110k miles I absolutely love it.
This was my car for 7 yrs before I got my Challenger 3 weeks ago. Gave it to my brother at 170k miles.
Edit: a 2002
BORDER WALL dam you down graded lol from Toyota to dodge ew
@@rickjames4406 you're a day late, but I knew you were coming.
The camry is boring. I dont think i could last that long driving onw
My family owns 3 of these, a 2002, 2003, and 2006 😁
High school student currently driving a 2002 Camry over 200,000 miles still runs great
I just sold my 05 Corolla for $1500 bucks. Loved that car!
Same here.
05 MT Corolla.
Needed complete paint job
Front reinforcement bar is bent
Aftermarket bumper
Left plastic pillar is out
Burned hard plastic steering wheel
Windshield fluid gasket is cracked
MT oil is dirty
Carbon deposits builds up
And so on....
I wanted $3,000 and no one bite it. Sold it for $1.5k and was happy. I had good time (my first ever MT) with it but I don’t really miss it.
Why would you sell that bulletproof car
@@Slenderman63323 I sold it and bought a nicer Honda Accord. I know it's not as reliable but needed a bigger car.
@@robbyjay8119 fair enough. People do get bored of their cars eventually.
I wish I could have Scotty as my teacher
I would just answer all assignment "94 Toyota Celica" and pass the class
5:50 scotty's laugh made my day.
I just bought an 03 camry thanks to your video. This one's got 366,000 miles but still starts and runs great. Steering wheel squeaks, struts are shot, power stuff works. I paid a bit more but if they last this long, it should be worth it
Number 1 advise as usual scotty
Scotty going through that car like a boss, using his Autel to see what's going down 👍🏽👊🏽
Just bought a 2002 camry with 206k miles no dents, great paint, interior is in great shape.. Runs smooth as silk, doesnt burn oil. no check engine light, everything works. Im 3rd owner
I agree this is the best used car out there. My wife’s 2005 hand-me-down had >280k before we sold, always ran great. Had the same catalytic converter issue but no inspection required for us. Seen several with more than double those miles. I kind of regret letting it go... will see if our ‘19 Avalon and ‘19 4Runner hold up as well
I just picked up an 02 Camry LE with the 4 cylinder at 214K for $700, even has a new AC compressor and starter, paint is shot but for the price it's perfect!
I don’t remember when was the time my dad passed his Camry to me, and he told me that, when this car breaks down, he will buy me a brand new mustang, now I am 27 and just have had a baby, I am planning to pass this Camry to her, so I can buy other one
Kinda bites you got screwed out of a mustang 😂
He told you that, because he knew he'd never have to buy you that mustang lmao!
might as since it's a girl
Dad smart. You now smart. Your kid has a great shot at smart!
Another classic Scotty Kilmer - thank you!
I got an 04 Camry for 2600 buck, 186,000 miles, minor cosmetic damage, but she runs like a dream
My Kentucky built 03 with 249k miles has actually need a lot of work, ac currently has a leak. Catalytic converter is bad, replaced CV axle, rack and pinion, wheel bearing on front left, radiator fan motors, radiator, thermostats, water pump, window motors are weak, rubber on the windows is messed up. Also replaced lower control arms and exhaust manifold gasket Engine was replaced at 150k, I'm guessing it became an oil burner.
Hoping to upgrade to a 2017 Camry soon though.
A good old Camry 👍 one of the best Toy-ota
I had a V6 ‘05 Camry with an LPG fuel tank. So cheap to run and it was fantastic while I had it. It did start ageing though - the suspension was weak, and it was slowly developing lots of little problems (eg: transmission light didn’t work; and lots of kms for its age). I miss that car it was great value - lots of travel for not much money.
I just bought 2003 camry 5 speed a few months ago with 114,000 runs great. Love the 5 speed. Went right through inspection paid 2500. I also have a 2002 camry auto with 240k on it had it for 18 years still runs fantastic. Changed starter oxygen sensors, plugs,everything else is original. I also have a 2002 camry v6 with 87k runs perfect like brand new never changed any thing but oil brakes and belts.
I actually love this gen camry. The XLEs were beautiful, they had super nice features like leather, wood trim, rear sunshade for the back window, alloy rims, fog lights, heated seats, nav. Very nice. I have the Lexus version 2006 ES330 which is even nicer, the one like your wife’s but mine is LOADED with POWER rear sunshade, heated AND COOLED seats, mark levinson premium audio, chrome rims, sport suspension, auto rain sensor wipers, touch screen navigation with voice command, it’s a beautiful car. Mine has 232,000 miles it is flawless and rides like buttery smooth brand new. I do have the check engine light cuz of the DAMN P0430 code for the catalytic converter but it runs flawless and it doesn’t affect the drivability of the car.
Did you ever get a quote on fixing/replacing the catalic converter?
I love the bright instrument cluster too. Everyone who drives my car says, it's too bright, but I love it.
I liked this gen as well they were reliable, if I was 17 in 2003 would had bought a Camry LE over Accord LX.
2020: 200,000 miles runs like new.
PROS: RELIABLE AND FUEL EFFICIENT.
CONS: NONE
OVERALL RATING: GOOD car no issues (normal wear and tear items), it's a Toyota... Oh What a Feeling a happy customer still driving his 2003 Camry.
owen k yes I did, I took it to a Toyota/Lexus specialist in my area (Toyworx of Grover Beach CA) and they said about $1000 for each bank, I needed both bank 1 and 2 so they quoted me $2000. Very disappointing to hear😂 I still have not done it yet
Ramon Carter same I’m still in my first car , my Lexus ES330 and I absolute love it. I bought it 2 and a half years ago at age 16 for $5000 with 180,000 miles, it was a one owner car and absolutely pampered and taken care of and serviced, now 2.5 years later I have 232,000 on it and it’s been flawless except for the catalytic converters.
Those Toyota and honda run forever, I seen them with over 300k and still running strong.
I got a honda accord 2004 220k runs great passes Inspection every year no problems. And that's not my first one with high miles.
I love the 7th Gen Accord. They're great fun to drive and the interior quality is great. I have an 8th Gen Accord [2008] and the plastics used in the Interior feel really cheap, like the Early 2000s Civics, and they're not as fun to drive as the 7th Gen. And weirdly the 7th Gen's seats are more comfortable.
@@Boebus666 my 8th gen is not bad, never had any issues on it
Unlike the 6th gen accord with its glass transmission
Couldn't find a Camry in my area but did find a 09 Corolla with 65 thousand miles, One owner with 5 speed manual stick in mint condition for 2000$ Canadian. I've been driving this car for 4 months and amazed how well it runs and how good it is on gas . It's the first Japanese car I've owned and I'm really impressed considering it's almost 12 years old.
Wow! Still runnin' like a dream I bet?
Back in 2015 I bought a used 2005 Toyota Carrola. It had 79,423 miles on it. The only major repair I had fixed was a leaking water pump, but besides that, all it needed was oil changes. Now today it has 119,000+ miles and still runs well.
Scotty the Mr. Burns of the car world! 😂😂😂 I only kid. I love your comedy
I have an 02 and it squeaks when you turn the wheel too hahahaha
There is a fix video on that
My 2012 Camry does that too.
Same!
@@bradleyburdett5361 Unfortunately for me, that video didn't solve my squeaking. It sounds like mine is inside the steering column.
I have an 94 Camry, paid 2100 for it almost four yrs ago. It had 189k miles then, has 240k miles on it now. This has been the best car I have ever owned. Easy to work on, pretty cheap to work on, good on gas, I have no complaints. Thanks for making this video, I love my Camry!
It would certainly be crazy to see one day scotty makes a video saying kia and hyundai are better than toyota and honda
Chicks love Toyota Camrys especially with a Full size Spare tire😁
Especially dirty ones!
How would they even know what kind of spare it had?
especially that fat chicks😀
Yeah especially if they're named: Crystal, Amber, Brandy, Star, Angel, Heather, any name with Lynn after it, Misty, Kristy, Britney.....
Nah the camry is so boring. Thats why im sticking with my grand marquis v8
Used Camry’s and Accords: keeping the nation running!
Please where can I get a Camry online?
I used the lacquer thinner method too; shut off my catalytic codes twice and they worked both times. Just put 1 gallon in for 6 gallons of gas, drive it on the highway, should go off soon.
Two years ago bought my college son a 2004 w/ 60k that literally was only driven by an old lady to church. Paid $4k (spotless with leather seats) but he should be able to drive the car conservatively forever.
Drivers window can be fixed with silicone spray! Did it on my aunt's 06 camry and it dosent get stuck anymore!
Whenever Scotty Kilmers drops the new videos I roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up.
1994 Toyota Celica for $600.00 on Craigslist; is it worth it. You dam Skippy it is! I own one and so glad i bought it. BEST car that I have owned. Over 366,000 miles on the odometer to prove it.
I have a 2002 Camry. Great car. It’s basically a Japanese Crown Vic minus the power and rear wheel drive.
Got an '04 Solara (2.4L 4-cyl) two months ago after Scotty's approval. Car's in great shape, only 76k miles.
A week later: "Here's the worst engine Toyota ever made: The 2.4L 4-cylinder"
He meant those engines from 2008 to 2010
Lmao
The engine you have is one of the best for reliability ever made. he wasnt talking about that engine
I was aware of its excessive oil-burning issues. But got a really good deal on this relatively low-mileage, well-maintained car.
But Scotty never said anything about it being the "worst" Toyota engine when I asked him lol. I think he found out a week later.
Should've found a v6
holy crap, i been working on cars 33 years, i didnt know they make a bypass thing for them rear AC units that leak, i been getting 800 dollars to fix, hey, wait, i better forget i learn this.
I totally agreed.
I bought this car $1800 in 2017 with 182k miles. I used it for delivery & I added 63k miles in one year making it 245miles.
I sold it for $1500 even with a dental in the trunk. This car can run forever the only thing I did was oil change every 3weeks because I was driving 5k miles in every 3weeks.
I bought a 2003 Toyota Camry LE 4 banger (paid a grand), 226,000 miles original everything except alternator and struts. Had it since January as my daily driver to school and it hasn’t let me down. Love my Camry; nevertheless, I’ll be giving it to my father because he bought a 2006 Acura TSX (177,000) from the original for me. It was fun driving the Camry💯.
I just bought new tires for my 20 plus yr old Camry......still drives like a dream.
Hey Scotty,
I remember watching your Chanel for the first time back in 2017 (at that time I owned a 2015 Nissan Altima) I didn’t know about their transmission problems.
Sure enough my transmission started rattling at 75xxx miles on the car. I recently got a better job and decided to do something nice for myself. I sold my Altima and went down to the Toyota dealership and bought a 2020 corolla hatchback with a 6-speed. I wanted to say thank you for converting me and being honest. I appreciate all your har work you do for us regular people.
Thanks Scotty,
Gage
I have the exact same car with 285,000 miles and stll running strong. Still running strong paid $2,200 back in 2107 at 240,000 miles. Toyota quality and reliability 💪💪👍👍
Very cool ! Thanks for the good information about what old car to get 👍 I got my son a 98 4runner 2wd v6 auto for $1500 and he loves it . Thanks for doing your videos.
I love it when you post a picture of a horse laughing as you're laughing 🤣😂🤣😂
Thanks 😍😍😍
Had a Toyota back several years ago, and hated the way it drove. Fast forward to 2018, and I came into a 1998 Camry for free. My BMW lease was up, so I figured I would drive the Camry until I got a new car. I didn’t like it much initially, but it grew on me. I wound up driving it for about a year and a half, and it got me everywhere I was going. Only needed to replace the spark plugs, alternator belt, and a can of freon in all that time. Along the way, I discovered Scotty’s channel, and his love for the old Toyotas. Since I live in the snow belt, and want AWD, it motivated me to get a 2011 Lexus IS250 AWD that he’s also featured for a low price that I paid cash for. Love it! Drives like a European car, but has so far done me great in terms of service. For the first time in more than 20 years, I have no car payment, am in a great driving car, and laugh all the time. Couldn’t be happier!
I got a 2002 that I nicknamed YODA, because it's green, it's a wise car to have and it's going to live a long time like Yoda!!!
I got a 09 Corolla manual for 1,200 good car new timing chain, water pump and shocks
*shots fired* You really needed a new timing chain on an 11 year old Toyota?
@@98triffid no I didn't need it, but I had a good friend of mine (Toyota mechanic), do the chain for dirt cheap, so I figured why not?
At 0:29 That is a lot of Antifreeze Bottles in the trunk
taste good when you mix it wit da kool aid🙃
Way to go Scotty. The old commercials had it right huh!!! "I love what you do for me Toyota"
this video hyped me up for my recent 02 camry craigslist purchase :) thanks dude
This reminded me of my old Honda CRX. I wish I never sold it.
Dude, you forgot: "My last Video ever"... Hit that next week.
You are a great mechanic sir
Yes!!! I love my 2006 Camry. Yes, the clear coat will peel. The trunk smells moldy, but no leaks. The headliner will start to fall. Hands down this is the best Camry ever. I love this generation! A lot of car buyers are looking for this generation, but owners are keeping them.
We had this car in the family since 2005
It ran like a champ up to over 220k miles then it blew a cylinder :(
Wow must didn’t take care of it .
Usually you'll get a check light before that happens
As the Japanese like to say: "Quality-ah... engineering-dayo." I don't know if that's true!! Something to that effect I'm sure!!
As the Americans like to say: "Build cheap-oh. More money-oh for us-oh!"
Had one since I was born (2002), but once I've started driving it, it's been having a lot of issues. Once it left me stranded at Chick-fil A lol. But for 18 years no problems, it might be worth it.
I had a 2003 Camry SE 4 cylinder. Kind of fun to drive. Handled really well. Enormous trunk. I got 500 miles to a tank of gas on a trip from home in NJ to visit the in-laws in NC. First trip I was able to make without stopping for gas. I'd buy another in a heartbeat.
Had an 2002 Camry, and I miss it dearly! Great car and absolutely amazing on gas!
Get it back!!😋😋
This dude posts like 5 videos a day.
I have an 02 Camry with 286k automatic and a 03 Camry with 177k manual both are excellent and very reliable.
I bought a 2003 like that last summer except mine is blue, has 145,000 miles on it and I drive it 90 miles a day to work and back. I love it. I still have my 1990 Camry I bought in 1991. It still runs. Just be careful of the ones built from 2007-2009. I think the 2003-2005 maybe 2006 were really good cars.
I currently have the same car 211k miles
Scotty loves finding an old Toyota that still runs well. Come to my house, I have two!
Bought my camry in early 2016 for $4k@137k miles. Still drive it to this day. It's a solid vehicle and will still run when it needed maintenance.
“It’s not a turd mobile!” Great selling point. 😎
What tools would you pack in a small tool bag to go on a long trip
Surprised you didn’t say “it still runs like stink!”
Love the OG intro 👍🏽💯 😁
I have a 2011 camry with the same 2AZFE engine, and it still drives great.
