2001 Toyota Camry

1999 Camry BUY THIS CAR

By Camry (DC) on Wednesday, May 22, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 195,000

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I bought this with 140k on it. Just sold it at 195k. Commuted daily with it 40 miles round trip and used it as a delivery vehicle part-time. I drove this car very, hard, did routine maintenance most of the time. The car never failed to start in 5 years and nothing failed and never needed any parts except brake pads. Ride was smooth and quiet, power and fuel economy was excellent. I especially loved the ventilation and AC which was ice cold and powerful. The layout of the instrument gauges are excellent and easy to read. I have driven 2004 and 2013 Camrys and the 1999 was much better to drive. The quality of the plastics, the radio and seating was much better than the 2004 Camry I now have. I WISH I never sold it."

Huge value for the money

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 183,520

Pros: "Love this CAR!"

Cons: "183,000 miles"

"Wonderful car. Purchased used with 27k miles in May 1999. Absolutely love this car. Reliability is unmatched in my experience. Never has left me stranded; gets major props for that! Great gas mileage and cost of maintenance is extremely budget friendly. Ride is extremely comfortable. Compared to 2012 Camry, I would not trade mine for a new model. 2012 Camry has ruined the Brand for us devoted Camry-lovers. It is stiff and rides hard and jarring. Hurts me all over driving it for 30 minutes. My next car will have to be an older model Camry, or another car model entirely!!!"
