I have a 1991 Toyota camry, given to me by my mom who passed away about a month ago, I told myself when I get back on my feet I will restore this vehicle and make it look brand new. it only has 80,000 miles on it.
+sweetdaddy coolaid My brother still has the '91 Camry that we used as kids. It's got 470 000 km on it and still purrs like a cat. The only problem is rust(and the catalyzer) because the first owner didn't care about rust proofing and there's so much road salt here in winter.
Wow, I still see some of them on the road here in Cali. they are good cars.
im 15 and my mom has 1991 Toyota camry and for some reason i want to be unique in my town and have that car looking nice tinted windows and LED lights to make it look more modern but cool at the same time i hope it last till im old enough to drive because its back to 0 miles so its worth nothing at this point but i like the car and my mom still drives it like if its still new
It is worth something, maybe not money but it represents good memories which is worth more than money. You can always buy a new engine for the car if you still want it, that will run you about 1500 dollars depending on how new it is.
@sweetdaddycoolaid sorry about your loss. The 89-96 Camrys are my favorites.
I miss my 1988 Camry LE V6. It was my Grandmothers. Had 272k miles on the original engine. Such a solid car. Lost due to accident from someone failing to yield right of way :(
This was back when car makers took pride in their work
Back then, they probably pain-stakengly did every detail of this before rolling them off the lots.
A Toyota Aurion Sportivo Unless your talking about a Rolls Royce or Toyota Crown, they do not any more. Increased complication that destroys reliably proves this unfortunately
No buddy this is simply just a Toyota
Honey Poo Poo Maybe so. But it’s a good car nonetheless.
I drive a 4cyl base model an i love it.
I now own a 1990 red Camry LE passed down from my grandpa. has 79K miles to date after 24 years and He polished it EVERYDAY. So it looks like new. When I go to the car wash for detailing, the people over there were impressed at how well kept the car is. I love that V6 doe. Grrrrrrrr.
If I ever found one like this I'd buy it instantly.
Aaaaaahh take s me back to the good ol' late 90s when my neighbor's teenage son had a 1990 Toyota Camry LE V6 like this one, good ol' 90s grunge and all, those were/are great cars so much nostalgia, thats all!
That V6 actually sounds pretty good.
It's quite a large engine for such a small car to be honest
It sounds a little like an NSX
Back when John Davis on Motorweek called Camrys "Cam-RAYS". 😂
Great friggin car, i had a 1991 4 cylinder from 07-13 with 179,000 miles when i brought it and she never let me down or left me stranded even in the most extreme cold condition during the winter in the north east. All you gotta do is keep an good battery and change the oil and she'll run forever..
My 98 year old great grandmother had this same car in the same color before she recently died. She use to drive that car like a bat out of hell. Brings back memories. Great video Kyle.
Wow! This was my very first car! The velour seats were amazing! You forgot to mention the most important part: right under the steering wheel, there's an vent! It was directed right at your groin--best invention ever. Perfect for those hot summer days. Thank you for posting this video.
Mine to! I had dark blue leather interior, such a great car
You can see the quality in all the interior fittings. This is a forgotten gem I have always had in my mind. Beautiful V6.
Not really a big fan of Toyotas, but this generation of the Camry is my all time favorite. They last forever
Amen
@@silasmcgee3647 sweet
I love the attention to detail in this car. Those seats look really comfy, too!
My first car was a handed down 1990 Camry v6 LE in light blue. I didn't know anything about cars back then, but it drove amazing and the only thing that ever broke on it was the exhaust rusting out. I still hold most cars today to the standard of that car.
Brought a tear to my eye; I bought immaculate one of these from a lady whose father owned it and had passed away. It was my first car out of college and starting my new job. These had really smooth engines and one of the most sublime transmissions I’ve ever driven. They shifted almost imperceptibly. I ended up selling after 2yrs when it had persistent but slow oil leak - was quoted more to replace main rear seal than car was worth. In hindsight, I would have kept it a bit longer. This was much nicer than newer Camry as it fitted just below Cressida which was their top level car before Lexus was released.
Awe man i hate to hear this . I own a 1990 camry LE model when i got it i realized its not worth the 3k to replace the seals so used liquid copper in the rad and before my next oil change i used stop leak lower seal repair and since then iv lost minimal oil . And from most peoples reviews you can expect at least two years of a good seal then just rinse and repeat lol 😂 and thats what i plan to do .
The simplest car ever but glass headlights means never gets foggy so you don't have to ever clean them
Yeah and who needs pedestrian safety anyway.
WhiteSlift Damn pedestrians should have looked where they were going!! I say keep the glass headlights, steel bumpers and let Darwinism take it's course!
bliglum Pedestrian safety is also the reason we don't have Pop-up headlights anymore, either (IIRC) :/
blues03 That's true. The pop up headlights were like a vehicles jousting pole!
+bliglum what do u mean?
One of the first cars I ever drove when I first got my driver's license. Excellent quality built!
It's amazing that this car is 22 years old, with only 49k miles. This thing looks mint.
It is amazing how good the build quality is in thus car, even as far as features are concerned I am still impressed by this car. You don't see build quality like this in a lot of today's cars.
I love the acceleration sound of this car and other Japanese cars of this era. My grandfather had an '82/'86 Nissan (N12) Pulsar NX.
You can almost feel the quality of all the touchpoints though the video. I would cherish a car like this.
We have a 1990 with 239,000 one owner miles. Great car and still going strong.
This car also happens to be one of my favorite generations of the Toyota Camry. It came out between 1987-1991, I love this car and enjoy riding it as well!
Camrys hav come a long way, my 4 Cylinder Camry has 178 horsepower power and this 1990 Camry has 156 horsepower V6. And the new 4 Cylinder Camrys have over 200 horsepower. Keep it up Toyota 👍
Wow that V6 sounds way better than the new Accord, Camry, and Altima V6s. I'd be proud to own one in such amazing condition.
My aunt as one of these but it's a 1991 with the 4 cylinder. Great car and in resistible reliable. Hers had 125,000 miles on it when she bought it five years ago. The guy who sold it to her told her "you will be sick of this car before the engine breaks down" just to show the reliability was top notch. Overall they are decent cars but an accord of the same year looks a lot better if well maintained
I love when you review older cars like this, you're awesome
please keep doing these old retro cars it's amazing how Toyota can keep adapting through the years I have a 1996 Nissan and it's slow but absolutely bulletproof :)
I have a 98 Toyota Avalon and I've been extremely impressed by the build quality. The doors are solid, they feel heavy. The seats are substantial and it handles like a dream
Great video Kyle!!! I personally owned this car for 5 years and I must say it was a blast to drive and comfortable for long cruises. Rarely ever needed any major repairs and I loved it every time i drove it. I actually believe that power mode really made difference in acceleration as the engine revved higher. This brings back memories since i have sold this car now after adding 130,000km in just 5 years of driving and bringing a total 345,000km!!!!. Definitely recommend this car to anyone.
I still spot old Toyota camry cars from late 1980s and early 1990s. Best car of all time
+Mortal Kombat also the geo metros, cars never die and even a fool can fix them
I need to buy one from out west as soon as I move out there
My parents had the 1991 model when I was born in the year of '93 but they had the CS standard variant, white and with black trim and original alloy wheels with the grey interior. (Technically the SV21 series). My dad always was always able to take the cover of the horn. Good old memories came from this car.
Man, this car was and still is a classic! Good review!
i love how even though he can do reviews of any car he wants..he does even these old ones..true class
Love these old Camrys.
I have old camry from 80s
firstmusic00 nice
I always like this generation of Camry. The solid construction and easy-driving nature was evident immediately. Outward visibility is about the best EVER, and this contributes to a stress-free drive.
What a beautufull well kept maintained Toyota Camry!
kyle, i'm lovin' how you maintain the quality of your reviews whether it's a ferrari 458 or a '90s toyota. Keep up the good work!
My buddy had a station wagon v6 camry... loved that thing.. it would haul the mail and groceries
This car’s simplicity is amazing and practical as hell!
Loved this review, and I wish I had this car as well as my white 2000 Camry XLE V6! Maybe it's not as powerful even as my Camry, but this was just *impressive*! Great job Kyle, you continue to be awesome!
interior looks much nicer than the next gen camry
funny.
why
Because this car can't even hold a candle to the current gen camry.
Dickbutt you’re wrong, look at the seats
Gen 3 after this generation is still on the road. I have 2 of them one is the V6 the other one is the 2200 4cyl.
great vid man i really enjoy seeing older cars in such amazing condition
It's very nice to see these regular cars in mint condition. Most of the mint condition cars of that year are mostly some expensive Mercedes, Porsches and other exclusive brands. The old cars shouldn't die! Thanks.
I still see some if these running in 2019.
I love these more than the new ones we have today
Hakeem Boyd You got that right boy. Those oldies but goodies can still kick asses
@@oscar721x8 especially when you have such a small boy with a big boy engine in it a V6 is quite large for such a small vehicle
@Rvqsx - it’s a smol boi tho so nota lot of stress on the bigger engine I mean yes common sense bigger engine worse mileage but as Kyle said it’s about 18 city 24 highway which is not bad for a V-6 and a small car and I’m sure the four-cylinder does it much better especially with the manual
The V-6 will probably make more sense to you in the much larger 93 model but there’s nothing really wrong with putting a V6 in a small car because it’s a Toyota so it’s bulletproof either way
That car was almost became my first used car back in 1993. I ended up buying a 1989 Honda Accord LX which was also a great car back in it's day. Absolutely love old cars.
Kyle, I LOVE you for doing these! It's hard to find a good video on CZcams about 1988-1991 Toyota Camry. I brought my first car ever, 1991 Toyota Camry LE V6 off from junkyard for only $130. It run fine, but need some work. Now it's running perfect for 3.5 years since I got it on road! Lot of long road trip and it never act up or give up on me! I'm a daily driver and it got 265,000km (164,660 miles) on it now. I got it when it was 235,000km (146,020 miles).
TOYOTA LASTS FOREVER!!
very clean car, love the old blue cloth interior. Looks like my old man's 94 Oldsmobile Cutlass interior
I swear these older Camrys are more interesting than their modern successors. I still miss the old Cressida however; the Avalon will never be the car it was.
I love my 99 camry,I love the style it has. mainly original everything with 273,000 km on it. get at least 600-750 km a tank with all season even flooring it to redline, such a better car than the corolla. Next car I plan to get is imported right-hand drive toyota or an old manual 4 runner
Trades46 I'm only 19 so I unfortunately missed when cars were cool, but I just left a job at a junkyard where I stripped an 86 I believe it was, Cressida. Cool car
diagram for motor
I had one Great running car for the times, and I bought a 1991 to replace it I'm still driving it today in 2017. I love them both these cars will go forever if you take care of them. Great video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for making videos on older vehicles. I love these!
I LOVE these! I want one so bad!
1:50 I like the exhaust sound
Very nice this Carmy. One of my favorite ! Thanks for the video Kyle !
Really really pleased that you are doing videos on older cars like this camry. most people stick to old american cars from the 60s which is all good, but stuff like this corolla's, maximas, old accords etc. are all modern classics in IMO and need to be on video in detail like how this is.
Great job saabkyle04
classic and simple looking. can't find it anywhere nowadays. i wanna have one
U can find it from a used car dealer or a 90s car dealer!
therarehuskyGT S50 not as good as that one stock. shame i didnt see this video when it first popd up. I would have been tempted to buy even if im on the west coast. Over here stupid young people mod these and trash them. Sure they run but they're so fucked up inside.
He's beginning to cry at 11:59... I know, it's very sad that they don't make vehicles like that anymore. Oh, and what every happened to the amazing Cressida? I loved that car. I weep for them.
Toyota still makes great cars.
Gotta love it! Great vid as always Kyle!
wow that's in such gorgeous condition! my aunt used to have a '91 camry so this video brings back lots of memories from my childhood haha
Haha its an awesome looking car. Its fully loaded, power everything, even a sport mode. Especially those power seat belts look fly
This is one of my favorite cars of all time.. they simply are amazing. drive perfect and comfortable and get amazing gas mileage.. I had a '90 camry V6 for years. It was painted a custom baby blue color.. I drove it till 263,000 miles on it.. then sold it .. it still ran amazing at over 250,000 miles
strocat25 I see a 91' Camry on Craigslist that has 171k miles..should I go for it ?
AccessDenied take someone with you who knows about cars to go over it and if the price is right then sure
strocat25 well have you had any major repairs ?
you do maintenance the right way you'll never have major repairs ..well.. rarely.
umm I dont have it anymore but when i first bought it .. I drained and filled transmission fluid 3 times .. had a timing service (belt or chain cant remember) wheel bearings and had to repair and exhaust leak. thats it. got the car for 1100$ put 660$ into it and drove it for 5 years.. I wanted to spend 2 grand total so i took the extra 240$ and was able to get a full header/exhaust kit and an intake and she was a pleasure to drive.
I had no major problems outa that car.
Great in depth look Kyle I thoroughly enjoyed this one !
My family used to have a 1989 Camry that we sold 12 years ago. You said this car was always garage-kept, and it's in that good of condition, even for a start up? Wow! I also like how the seat belts buckle you up when you start it.
Man! Do I want this car!! Hoping to make this my project!!
Sounds cool
Once past 5000 rpm these Toyota engines sound amazing. Nice car for the year, my 1990 toyota truck is nothing like this with tons of rust.
Love it. I love these older cars and have always been a fan of the Camry.
I like these videos you do on your family's lot. You seem more relaxed and give your opinion more.
Really nice and nearly mint car! Toyota certainly did it right in 1990. But when I saw the digital clock at 9:20 and noticed that it is the same clock used at the nowadays Corolla I just LMAO!
This is a very nice car ! I wish I could find a classic vehicle such as this one, with low miles and mint conditions in and outside the vehicle, for my first vehicle.
Only on Kyle's channel you can find this old vehicles review. You're the best Kyle. Thank you.
i really enjoy your videos man keep it up.
I would have paid $10k for this car...I had a 91 dx 4cyl that I ran up to 250k and sold for $2600 a few yrs ago with body damage. I had a 91 Lexus es250 (same car) that I drove up to 200k and sold for $5000 in 1999 and then bought back from that owner in 2003 and resold on eBay to a guy in MA for $2750 in 2005 with about 280k on odo...These were and ARE the best cars from this era....IF you can still find one....you better buy it...no regrets!
I found one with one owner thats relocating, for 700! I was going to buy a mustang but I am kinda involve with older reliable cars…
Overdrive pretty much gets rid of 4th gear actually and makes it a 3 speed in a way. It allows the engine to run at a lower RPM at higher speeds while in 4th gear, say on the highway, thus improving gas mileage and it kind of makes it feel like you have a 5 speed. It works great with a V6 too since you have all the extra power over a 4 cylinder. It's always on unless you turn it off by pushing that button on the shifter.
Thank You Kyle! Man this video just just.. brought back some memories :)
you gotta love 90's & early 00 cars.... i own a toyota corolla 91 with over 223 thousand miles and still going just a true masterpiece of engineering
I still see alot of these camrys in my town. Good reliable cars!
One of my favorite Cam generations. Toyota had some nice designs back in the day, sadly the newer gens have put an end to that.
is a beautiful car and I liked this video ... thanks Kyle.
This is the best generation Camry in my opinion. Love this!
what ever happened to velour seats, they were the best.
My 1990 Corolla and 1998 Toyota Camry had similar seats and they were great. I sold both cars after 100,000 miles and those seats still looked like new.
As long at it's properly cared for, the velour will stay looking and feeling great.
"I'm a fan of filming OLDER vehicles"
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO AND now all he films is 2015, 16' and 17' high end luxury cars nobody can afford except a select few
He did film a 2001 Chrysler Sebring once lol.
Vulcan108
lmao....such a dream machine
Bro, your profile pic almost made me break my computer screen
+Miles's NerdySwag! HB but why mate 😢
Tommy Siro Sorry Sir, but have a fly swatter near your head at all times
I love when you do this old cars!!
Love these old car videos. Was the reason i subed a few years ago.
This is literally going to be my first car🙌🙌
Donkeydope303 poop I would but in white
Same here
Toyota really took pride in there products in the early 90's with chrome accents & quality fabrics. The Toyota's today are all plastic.
toyota overkilled everything in the 90s....like the supra
CrazyForCooCooPuffs
Oh yeah! I miss the Supra. With the exception of the Scion FRS, Toyota needs to make fun cars again. Don't get me wrong I like the new Toyota's, I just miss their fun cars like the Supra, Celica, MR2, and Corolla GTS/SR5.
dwilsonjr78 petrol is rising, a lot of people want cars with the power of a 3.0ltrs V6, but with the efficiency of a 1.5ltrs 4 cyl, and the stupid EPA forcing company’s to make cars more efficient. That’s why Quality have drop a lot.
That's because all businesses are out for is money.
By adjusting for inflation, cars like the Camry were worth $30k-$40k new in the 80s. Nowadays you can get a new Camry for around $20k. They’re obviously going to have to cut costs to keep the price down, it’s always sold starting around $20k for decades. If you want quality, get a higher trim Camry or a more expensive model, those fetch for $30k-$40k, just like what a Camry would cost 35 years ago
Very nice review. Good job.
Love that car, brings back to good times I had in a car just like that
1:58 Meep Meeep
too bad this car will start with any key, thieves flock to this car.
yup, my dad had his stolen TWICE in the same neighborhood in Chicago
+amistry605 HA!!!! Glad i am living in Canada.
Bender Rodriguez yeaaa.. i love my hometown (chicago) but its terrible out here
+Bender Rodriguez canada is safer?
Depends. I'm pretty sure cities like Toronto isn't safe. You're probably safe if you're living in a town full of white seniors in the interior of British Columbia.
Thanks for filming this Kyle! I love these old Camry's, very solid cars non finer.
Finally! ... thank u
This was Toyota at its finest, building cars without regard to cost. Toyota over the past decade has taken cost-cutting to the extreme. Just compare the 2007-2011 Camry's cheapness to the 1990 model. The last generation Corolla was even worse!
Toyota needs to bring back fat product! Start putting those massive profits back into your cars!
That's not exclusive to Toyota, Mercedes from around 1995 starting with the bug eyed E Class took build quality from their vehicles and threw it away. It wasn't apparent at the time but 5 years later these cars starting rusting in a shameful fashion in the UK anyway with its wet climate. Most Mercedes sedans from that 1995 until around 2003 still running over in the UK have perforated body panels, it's very rare to see one that's not affected. In the nice dry states of the USA it might be a different story.
Toyota's quality slipped a little after they redesigned it for 2007. I drive an '03 Camry which has quality black leather inside and chrome door handles and panel around the window controls - very well built
EVERYBODY is doing it.
I work for toyota as a tech and honestly the 2007-2011 camrys are honestly garbage. The problem ones are the ones with the 2.4l 2AR motors that burn oil like crazy. The 2002-2006 camrys are very well built.
It's truly tragic how Toyota's quality and philosophy have declined over the years. Same with Honda.
+Parrots and Potatoes uh, wut?
+Parrots and Potatoes Their quality has not dropped, but their designs have for sure.
probably both, it pisses me off. I need to move out west so I can get a decent condition old car
Wtf are you talking about??? (I'm aware you typed this years ago).
Well, the EPA is forcing companys to make car more efficient. Thats why newer car are not too reliable like the old ones. But they are still exception, like my 2011 Outlander sport with CVT. It has 162k trouble free miles. The only thing that gone bad and was replaced was the a/c compressor.
I have a 1990 LE V6 25th anniversary Canadian Edition, fully loaded with 15" mags, power driver seat, a/c, cruise, power antenna, am/fm/tape, pwr moonroof, pwr mirrors, pwr windows, 4-speed auto, ABS 4 wheels disc-brakes, factory spoiler, factory foglights... I just love my car it's so classy.
This car is more reliable than many cars produced today lol. Great vid.
primo from san andreas 😃
Good eye i was going to comment that
I used to have one Mint condition really looked after it, had around 420,000km on it, and I was the only owner got it brand new in 1990, and then some fucking stupid teenagers stole it and took it for a joy ride back in 2006....few days later cops found it in some ditch, I swear I wish I could have caught those guys, I would have fking thrashed them on the head
PerfectceII Hell yea, it was running smoothly, quiet as a church mouse and hardly ever needed maintenance...
+Tor Guy What happened to it? Was it completely totaled and you had to get a new car? Or did you have it and decide to get a new car eventually?
NickOhio Productions It was pretty much totaled, it could have been fixed but it would have needed too much work and money, so had to let it go.
No I didn't want any other car, I loved my Camry!, it was still going strong and drove really smooth and fast and only took it to Toyota for service, it would have been a classic today.
Tor Guy Damn, that sucks that you had to let it go.
you mean some low-life punks stole a Toyota Camry. Talking bout some real trash heads.
I love these 1990 camrys. I like 90s toyotas in general
Great Job on video, Love those older camry cars.
