My father purchased a new Camry in 07, said it was going to be his last car he buys. He was right - he just past in Dec. '18 at 91 yrs. old. I have the car now and it only has 34k miles. Love it and will keep it as long as possible in memory of my beloved father. RIP Dad.
I had a 92 Toyota Corolla, lasted me for over 300k miles, never needed any major work. My ex sold it for $500 because she wanted to upgrade when I was in the military overseas. Once she let the car go I let her go.
I bought my Camry new in 92. Still have it 28 years later. Still has original engine and transmission. It currently has over 550,000 miles on it. Great car!
Nice. My uncle had that generation Camry. He finally got rid of it several years ago. I only recently found out he gave it to his other nephew who still drives it. The 90s camrys were indestructible!
Thts straight proof that a Toyota and a Lexus can put beat any car for example dodge, every on every single model of Chrysler and dodge vehicles hit the 50k mile mark the transmission goes out and you would have to spend money on a new transmission when you can buy a Toyota for the amount that you would pay for a new or fixing your transmission.
i bought a new Camry in 1998. The salesman seemed surprised when I told him that I plan to keep it 15 - 20 years. I'm still driving it today, it runs really great (362k km)
@@user-yq4ef8sd8o I'm sure it is. I've seen Dutch documentaries where one had gone about 1 million km....and still a purring engine. Maintenance is important!
@@user-yq4ef8sd8o yes, it is still running great. Rust started creeping out but nothing significant so far. Our roads are literally covered in salt over the winter months
I just bought a 1998 Toyota Camry in Germany (where I live). It rides smooth, indeed quiet. Engine purs like a kitten, it has gone at least 250.000 km. I'm the youngest owner that had the car (all blokes who were in their 50's when they bought the car). I'm a woman and 39 years old. Note: it is fairly rare in Europe, not a car you see often on the road.
I had a '94 we inherited from my wife's late grandmother when we were 18. We had to give it up when I got stationed in North Carolina (We are from Cali) and it had about 320k miles on it, still felt brand new. The only thing we had to replace was the oil, spark plugs, coolant, and ATF as designated by the owners manual. If only all cars were that reliable.
Toyota mechanic here, these engines are bulletproof. Just keep an eye on oil leaks from the oil pump(front, bottom of the engine behind the crank pulley). After 20-25 years the o-ring and shaft seal on the pumps turn hard and crack then begin to leak. Even if its not leaking you should change it next time you do the timing belt since 90% of the job is removing the timing belt. Be sure to replace both the shaft seal and o-ring, not just the o-ring.
Lassi Kinnunen It will start off slow, just a small drip but if you let it go for a while it will become a constant stream and you run a high risk of running the engine dry. The last one I did the customer thought he was burning a quart of oil every couple hundred miles and he was always having to top it off. I took a look underneath while the cars was running and in just 3 minutes it left a puddle about the diameter of an ashtray.
Im considering buying an 02-06 camry se or lexus es300/es330 of the same year. Are there any engine issues i should look out for? From my understanding toyota v6’s are pretty solid unless poorly maintained. But ive heard confusing things about the 4 cylinders in the camrys. Should i steer clear of 4 cylinder Camry SE models? Thanks
THEBADDEST The 1mz-fe 3.0L V6 is bombproof if it's been regularly maintained preferably with synthetic oil, if not they are prone to sludge build up in the heads. The 3-mz-fe 3.3L V6 is also good but I have much less experience with it since they only used it for a couple years vs the 1mz-fe which was used for 14 years in the Camry. However in my experience the 2002-2006 generation of Camry is the worst generation. The 4cyl engine has issues with the head studs with causes head gasket failure, and the overall build quality noticeably dropped from the previous gen. My opinion is the 97-2001 is the best. You get the bulletproof drivetrain from older gen but much better corrosion resistance than the older gen and the best build quality.
I'm 17, living on the east coast U.S. and my first car is a 96 camry v6 champagne colored. Every time I drive to school kids use the car as a way to criticize me, and someone even had the courage to key my car. This video hits the nail on the head in my opinion. My car inside and out is cleaner than all other new cars I see my peers drive, and handles decently. I bought it for 2k with 115k on it, put new tires on, got an alignment, and replaced the ac compressor (died after I bought it) costing about 700 to fix. Now I have a super comfy low miled car that will last me for a long time. Just drove it to myrtle with 4 people and stuff and did it with no issues, and now the ac freezes everyone out in 100 degree weather. At almost 140k and love it. #camry squad.
Honnestly, who cares what you drive? I will judge you if you drive a shitty car that is really dirty and looks like its uncared for.. I will judge just as much for a newer car that is treated like shit so doesnt matter if old or new.. As long as your car takes you from point A to point B with no issues, who cares? If your materialistic then of course you will care but you don't seem to be this way.
Le Mecano Du Dimanche ...I think you are absolutely correct. I think the 90's were the peak in terms of reliability for not only Toyota, but for Honda too. Then, from 1998 and up Honda began to have Automatic transmission failures and then in later years "Oil consumption problems" the 1990 to 1997 Hondas simply did not have these problems.
Born to ride It all depends on how you take care of it. I have a 99' Accord V6 and have never experienced any of those issues you just mentioned. I've had this car for 11 years and it continues to perform top notch. That's because I take care of it the right way. Mind you I live in Phoenix where it gets hot as hell in the Summer (LIKE IT IS NOW)so you know it can play a role in vehicle performance. The transmission works just fine (AND YES IT'S STILL THE ORIGINAL) ànd that's because I drive it the right way. Bottom line if you take care of your car it will last. We already know that Honda and Toyota have had that reputation going for years
Self Made It has 122,000+ miles which you're right it's not much(ESPECIALLY FOR A HONDA) But you and I both know that's not the determining factor of the life of a car let alone a Honda. Keep in mind I live here in Phoenix. It gets extremely hot here in the Summer. You also know that heat is one of the main enemies of any transmission. I've had this car for over a decade and no problems whatsoever. If there were going to be any defects they would've shown up by now. Like I said before if you take care of your car it will last for a long time. The fact that people keep saying these Hondas are having problems tells me that they don't take of them properly(NOT TO MENTION DRIVE THEM RIGHT. JUST ASK LEAD FOOT ETHAN HOW HE DRIVES HIS) I make sure that I maintain mine the way it's supposed to and as long as I do that I don't expect any problems anytime soon.
Self Made ....You got great miles out of that car. Most Honda Automatic transmissions of that era failed at lower miles than your car has. 3rd gear was a problem on most Hondas and Acuras of that era.
Still ocking a 96 camry with 400k miles. It's been taken care of but it's still running great. Never been in a shop. My 2016 jeep has been in the shop twice.
When my mustang died on me I bought my grandmothers 2001 Camry for $750, put 35k miles on it, and sold it for $1000 with 397,500 miles on it.... not even a check engine light
Love my 99 Camry V6 -- great, great car. Only 150K, AC still blows ice cold. Gets 350 miles on a full tank. Starts right up, hauls ass, smooth, quiet ride. Runs like clock. The vehicle is 21 years old and will outlast and almost outperform every other newer car on the road.
My grandmother bought a 95 camry brand new back then, and she recently passed just a few weeks shy of 100 years old and left me her camry with 40,000 miles on it. Plan to keep it for a very long time.
I was dying laughing at the guy on the deck in 2:35. He’s just staring like “the hell is this guy doing” then a couple seconds later you see his wife appear😂 ”honey, the hell is that guy doing”
I have a 92 Camry, the only drawback is that it can be hard to find in a parking lot with all the other maroon 90s Japanese sedans tricking me into thinking they're it.
im 19 and i just bought my first car recently, a 1999 camry. car's older than me and runs flawlessly, all thats wrong with the car are minor fixable cosmetic issues
That's awesome! I had a 99 Camry for my first car too! Great on gas, I could get 30mpg with mostly highway driving, and it had enough room for 4 friends plus a lot of space in the trunk! I went camping and to a few music festivals with that car, then moved across the country in it. And I don't think I ever spent money on repairs, just oil changes and a tire occasionally.
Congrats!!! Learn to do your own oil change for that car. Do youtube research on oil filters (Purolator & Bosch) & buy them on Amazon when they're cheap. oil is cheap at wal-mart. Average oil price at autozone is 30-35. In wal-mart average is 20-25 with same brands.. If u need tools, there's black friday sales everywhere on tools. Lowes, home depot. . You take care of that car, the car will take care of you. Hopefully this helps.
I just bought my first car, a 1992 Camry! I'm so excited, and its incredibly well maintained and it really truly makes my heart sing to own this incredible car
Take care of that thing man. I bought a 94 for 71K miles last year and I'm being meticulous about it's care. You treat that baby right and you'll have it for an extremely long time. I had quite a few cars like that when I was a kid and they all broke, if I had that one, I would probably still have it.
@@kimkirbyamoah9248 Replace your thermostat, your radiator probably has a leak as well. The beauty of these cars is they are dead simple so you shouldn't be afraid to try the work yourself.
In 2020 I bought a 1992 Camry made in Japan. Only 108,000 kilometers in it. Paid $800 Canadian dollars. All it needs is oil changes. A couple light bulb needed replacing and soon a brake job. Timing belt was done at 88,000 kilometers so don't have to do that yet. Interior is mint but outside had a few scratches and dents. It's a 3.0 V6 so has good power. Parts are cheap! Love it! Cruises beautifully!
Robert Rowley bought my 94 Toyota Corolla 150,000 original miles for 1000 from a kid Lol....Replaced the door handles for under 10 dollars and 80 bucks for a new radiator. A year later and it still runs flawlessly.
@@tonywestvirginia Yeah, you have to replace the battery once every 12 - 15 years. There is barely $, since the next time you will need to change it, batteries will be much cheaper. You better delete your nonsense.
Why? It would be a two minute episode at The Wizard. *'Oil and spark plugs, door hinge lubricant, all together $87. You're **_killing_** me here Wizard...'* Then it gets 5,026 views. Tyler earns three dollars.
You know what's better than a Toyota Camry? A Toyota Camry Wagon. All the reliability, rebostness, and cheap operation of a regular camry, with the immediate cool points of being a wagon, what else could you possibly need?
They were the best built cars and we're made to last unlike the newer crap that's designed to compete with these disposable cellphones. Great enough to be replaced by the upgraded next year's model.
My mom bought a Pontiac grand prix in 1999 and it was the first new car she had ever owned. It went out of warranty and the transmission then failed. She then went and bought a 05 Camry in 2004 and it’s still going strong 17 years later with 330k miles.
I bought an 88 off my dad two years ago for $600. Had 95k miles and still ran like a top. Now it has 123k miles and still runs like a top. Some of the best money I've ever spent.
I bought a 96 Camry V6 XLE with 193,000 miles for only $1,200 and there are no issues, no damage, and it still runs smooth. The only thing I had to fix so far was a power steering leak
Love the old Camry's. Supremely comfortable, reliable, and cheap. Bought mine well-used for $4k, it's got 280k kms currently and shows no sign of wearing out. I'm actually trying to replace it but can't find a newer car I like as much!
I got incredibly lucky because my Dad works for Enterprise and saw a car at an auction lot. It was my 1999 Toyota Camry. 55k miles, one owner who was an old lady who had bought it brand new and mostly kept it in her garage. I paid $1880.50. I did have to replace the water pump (and timing belt) soon afterwards but my Dad and uncle did the labor and I just paid for the parts which was $175ish. I can put 20 bucks in the gas tank and can go two weeks without going below a quarter tank. I have about 65k miles on it now and I plan to keep this car as long as I can. I love it, such an easy and pleasurable car to drive!
Yes!!!!!!!!!! Grandma Mable and Grandpa Jack are smiling about this from above. I inherited their 94 Toyota Camry 15 years ago and it’s taken me across the country and THEN some!!! Lovely gentleman from Corte Madera, if you see this, thank you :-)
The newer engine will be a high compression dual Injection with dual VVT-i and ECO with bunch of computer controlled valves to comply with the modern emission standards, tranny will be a 8 speed one to comply with the modern MPG ratings, and the car to have a bunch of required expensive safety systems. This car exists, it is called Toyota Camry 2018
That would be a massive downgrade. That said I would drive a legacy Camri if I were to drive a sedan. Truth be told I'd rather drive a legacy 70's era Ram pickup or an old school Bronco. Still, better than a modern Chevy.
There will be ads in 2038 to add in hover capability to 90s Camries for the equivalent of 6k, if you include the mandatory inclusion of an AI to drive the thing.
Ive had a 95 corolla DX sedan for the last 20k miles (2017-91k, 2019-111k) the only real problem it has had was that i needed to replace the ignition coil...
My friend owned an old v6 camry for $500 that thing would literally never blow up had over 400k miles, he used tractor oil in it when he first changed the oil like a year ago, banged the limiter everywhere, took it off jumps, ran into random shit on his farm with it. Eventually he sold it to some crackhead guy for like $800 after everything he did to it, it ran like a champ.
I just picked up a 95 Camry wagon for $300. 147k and rough,but runs,drives and stops like new. Mechanically tight. This car will last as long as I ever want to drive it. Saving $ is awesome!
My 93 Camry wagon cost me $2k from a lying Sob who paid $500 at an auction who flipped it on me .I've replaced everything except the 2.2l engine. Worst mistake I ever made.
Just bought a 93 Camry LE Station Wagon that had been sitting for 3 years. I was told they did not know what was wrong with it. Brought a fully charged battery and guess what this old car fired up on the first turn! 238,000 miles a little ruff, but clean body, paid $450 and drove it home! Love finding these old gems.
New oil and oil/air filter, make sure the valves are adjusted correctly and clean the throttle body. She'll purr beautifully. 😃 Might want to do a transmission filter and spill/fill. Everyone overlooks transmission maintenance.
This was my first car and I loved it and miss it. Mine was actually the XLE sedan and I would buy one of these again before a new model car even. I love the nostalgic look and reliability.
They cant because price of the basic components have increased with inflation. Even if they used the same parts, with modern cost it would be like 10k at least. In the 90s these parts were much cheaper...but then again it can be possible...
My 86yo mom needed to downsize from her aging boat of an Infiniti to something smaller and cheaper to maintain. Found a one-owner local 1992 V6 auto Camry sedan with 52k miles for $4000. The thing is like a time-capsule - still has the window sticker and original salesman's business card in the glovebox. It's even beige. The perfect old-lady mobile.
If I had a choice to buy a used 2010 model year car with 30,000 miles and that Camry with 140K, I'd say give me that Camry! 140K, hell, it's just broken in!
I still have my 2001 Toyota. I bought it from a friend ten years ago. The only thing that needed to be fixed was the window motors. And I had to replace the mirrors on it, too. But after that, I never needed to work on it. I keep a detailed maintenance record in the glove box
I had a 95 Camry coupe with a 5 speed. Best car I have ever owned. I was somewhere just south of 290k mileage when someone clipped me and I had to put her down. And it was a beautiful shade of dark green metallic that would turn to blue in the right sunlight. Still miss that old Camry.
My dad had a ‘95 I think the same color you’re talking about. We’d go on Sunday drives with the sunroof down, it was so nice. Then my neighbor ran over it with her suburban.
My dad’s Toyota Avalon recently had to go in the shop for something other than an oil change for the first time since he’s owned it. The right headlight went out. It’s been 10 years and 156,000 miles
I bought a 95 with the v6 engine back in 2012 with 260,000 miles for $300. Still have it, now it has 380,000 and still running strong. ( As of may 2019)
287k miles on my 98 Camry. Still runs great my daily driver. Recently took it on a 1500 mile road trip. I slept in it while it idled in between driving shifts for hours at a time. Didn’t skip a beat.
I had 5 Camrys in my life...a 200..3 ..x 220' s and 1x300 6 ci Cylinder. .The best cars ever..never had any trouble with them. I still look fondly at them when I see them!!!
This was my first car, loved every minute of it. Ran it to 170k and then sold it to a friend who drove it to 250k and running. You can't kill these things. The 2.2L motor was the one to get.
I gave my ‘95 away with 319,000 miles on it. It still ran great and everything worked except the cruise control. It’s still running around town with the family I gave it to. Amazing value and reliability.
It’s actually really good- it’s a secondary car to my 2017 Tacoma that gets 16 miles to the gallon, so it’s perfect for running around town- I lucked out and got one with 92k original miles- to me it’s a $2500 car all day long if you can find one.
@@joshuayork4693 I drive two cars, a 2010 CrewMax and a 2012 Honda Accord LX. I love the both cars! i bought the Tundra 4 years ago and it's still a perfect car... same with the Honda Accord :)
This era feels like quality. The cars are solid in finish and driving feel. Then carmakers added 1,000 cheaply-designed safety and driver assist functions that tend to act up and require constant expensive service. Like obsolescence engineering. Cars basically went from being an indestructible Blackberry to being a fragile, prissy little MacBook Pro that Apple blames you for when it doesn't just work.
I had the same coupe(green,rear spoiler wing)with 320k miles on motor and dash,i drove from NC to FL(12 hrs),i sold it in FL and the men drove him maybe 4 more times from NC-FL again,the car still running great like a champ lol,that was my first Toyota car,good experience trying to find another Camry between 92-96.!
Go out in the country. Old S10's, Rangers, chevy 1500's, square body F150's, etc all over the place. Old Toyotas may be reliable, but they couldn't haul crap without bottoming out on frame.
I've got a 5S-FE Toyota Camry with 486620 miles on it currently the only thing wrong with it is the oil leaks (which is a usual occurrence) I honestly plan on keeping it forever because I've still got it's title and original papers that came with it nearly 25 years ago XD. It's an amazingly smooth car to be in! edit: Turns out it was a power steering fluid leak and not oil. As of today (10/12/18) I have 487,268 miles on it :D
check out Blue Devil stop leak, its not just motor honey and doesn't damage seals. My roommates Camry leaked a quart a day and now he only tops it up every week or so.
No! It may not be oil it may be power steering fluid which these are far more likely to leak. Do not add anything to your oil until you confirm the diagnosis !
I got a 2013 Camry. It had 130,000 miles. But I drive like a grandma and do my best to take care of ot the best I can. I hope it lasts me a long time. I love it. The colors a mods it had when I bought it look really cool.
My grandma got a 1993 Camry brand new and sold it a year before she died in 2017, only because she couldn’t drive anymore, that’s another testament to it’s reliably
I mean, that's totally accurate. Even in the future, the 90's vehicles will still be easier to maintain because there will literally be (even now) MILLIONS of replacement parts in salvage yards. You could also safely assume that you might be able to get one whole in the next couple of years in good condition.
Doug borrows a $120,000 Lexus and Tyler gets the $3,000 Camry. I think I see a pattern here. Everytime Doug reviews another $300,000 supercar you should try to find the absolute cheapest car possible that is sort of comparable. New Lexus vs old Camry. Both Toyotas.
I find Doug's videos kind of boring lately. Sitting down to watch half an hour of some super expensive car's quirks and features? Yeah, whatever... Hoovie's review of this Camry was very refreshing in comparison.
My friend had a similar style as that one and he went on a cross country trip and it had over 300,000 miles on it. No weird sounds or anything. The car ran brand new. It was the weirdest shit I have ever seen.
My father in law has a Camry from this generation. Over 200k miles, still ran good and just needed minor work like alignment and spark plugs. I should have bought it from him.
My buddy has a 1995 Camry V6 XLE with all the bells and whistles and only 30,000 miles that he got from his grandpa, it's a great car and will run forever :)

Toyota mechanic here, these engines are bulletproof. Just keep an eye on oil leaks from the oil pump(front, bottom of the engine behind the crank pulley). After 20-25 years the o-ring and shaft seal on the pumps turn hard and crack then begin to leak. Even if its not leaking you should change it next time you do the timing belt since 90% of the job is removing the timing belt. Be sure to replace both the shaft seal and o-ring, not just the o-ring.
Nutz4Gunz45 yeah I’ve seen oil pumps fail but also quite a few with head gaskets
Lassi Kinnunen It will start off slow, just a small drip but if you let it go for a while it will become a constant stream and you run a high risk of running the engine dry. The last one I did the customer thought he was burning a quart of oil every couple hundred miles and he was always having to top it off. I took a look underneath while the cars was running and in just 3 minutes it left a puddle about the diameter of an ashtray.
Im considering buying an 02-06 camry se or lexus es300/es330 of the same year. Are there any engine issues i should look out for? From my understanding toyota v6’s are pretty solid unless poorly maintained. But ive heard confusing things about the 4 cylinders in the camrys. Should i steer clear of 4 cylinder Camry SE models? Thanks
THEBADDEST The 1mz-fe 3.0L V6 is bombproof if it's been regularly maintained preferably with synthetic oil, if not they are prone to sludge build up in the heads. The 3-mz-fe 3.3L V6 is also good but I have much less experience with it since they only used it for a couple years vs the 1mz-fe which was used for 14 years in the Camry. However in my experience the 2002-2006 generation of Camry is the worst generation. The 4cyl engine has issues with the head studs with causes head gasket failure, and the overall build quality noticeably dropped from the previous gen. My opinion is the 97-2001 is the best. You get the bulletproof drivetrain from older gen but much better corrosion resistance than the older gen and the best build quality.
THEBADDEST get the ES, you won't be sorry.
I'm 17, living on the east coast U.S. and my first car is a 96 camry v6 champagne colored. Every time I drive to school kids use the car as a way to criticize me, and someone even had the courage to key my car. This video hits the nail on the head in my opinion. My car inside and out is cleaner than all other new cars I see my peers drive, and handles decently. I bought it for 2k with 115k on it, put new tires on, got an alignment, and replaced the ac compressor (died after I bought it) costing about 700 to fix. Now I have a super comfy low miled car that will last me for a long time. Just drove it to myrtle with 4 people and stuff and did it with no issues, and now the ac freezes everyone out in 100 degree weather. At almost 140k and love it. #camry squad.
Honnestly, who cares what you drive? I will judge you if you drive a shitty car that is really dirty and looks like its uncared for.. I will judge just as much for a newer car that is treated like shit so doesnt matter if old or new.. As long as your car takes you from point A to point B with no issues, who cares? If your materialistic then of course you will care but you don't seem to be this way.
What kind of fucking asshole keys your car for no reason???
Drop some coilovers on it and flatten the idiots in civics

Every car company has recalls and issues.
I really think the 90's are the golden age for "modern" cars in terms of reliability, confort, economy...
Le Mecano Du Dimanche ...I think you are absolutely correct. I think the 90's were the peak in terms of reliability for not only Toyota, but for Honda too. Then, from 1998 and up Honda began to have Automatic transmission failures and then in later years "Oil consumption problems" the 1990 to 1997 Hondas simply did not have these problems.
Born to ride It all depends on how you take care of it. I have a 99' Accord V6 and have never experienced any of those issues you just mentioned. I've had this car for 11 years and it continues to perform top notch. That's because I take care of it the right way. Mind you I live in Phoenix where it gets hot as hell in the Summer (LIKE IT IS NOW)so you know it can play a role in vehicle performance. The transmission works just fine (AND YES IT'S STILL THE ORIGINAL) ànd that's because I drive it the right way. Bottom line if you take care of your car it will last. We already know that Honda and Toyota have had that reputation going for years
Self Made It has 122,000+ miles which you're right it's not much(ESPECIALLY FOR A HONDA) But you and I both know that's not the determining factor of the life of a car let alone a Honda. Keep in mind I live here in Phoenix. It gets extremely hot here in the Summer. You also know that heat is one of the main enemies of any transmission. I've had this car for over a decade and no problems whatsoever. If there were going to be any defects they would've shown up by now. Like I said before if you take care of your car it will last for a long time. The fact that people keep saying these Hondas are having problems tells me that they don't take of them properly(NOT TO MENTION DRIVE THEM RIGHT. JUST ASK LEAD FOOT ETHAN HOW HE DRIVES HIS) I make sure that I maintain mine the way it's supposed to and as long as I do that I don't expect any problems anytime soon.
Joseph Bell .....Hopefully you have good luck with that car, but the weakest link on those is the automatic transmissions.
Self Made ....You got great miles out of that car. Most Honda Automatic transmissions of that era failed at lower miles than your car has. 3rd gear was a problem on most Hondas and Acuras of that era.
I had one for my first car. Paid $1000 for it. It really was an amazingly built vehicle. It was simple and solid, it just worked.
Still ocking a 96 camry with 400k miles. It's been taken care of but it's still running great. Never been in a shop.
My 2016 jeep has been in the shop twice.

When my mustang died on me I bought my grandmothers 2001 Camry for $750, put 35k miles on it, and sold it for $1000 with 397,500 miles on it.... not even a check engine light
I got 2001 Toyota Corolla for $950 in August 2019 love it.
Why would you sell it?
Yeah...."No Ragrets"
my tia gave me a 01 camry for free. all it needed was a battery and alternator. fucking love it...
i have a 2000 Camry with 127,000, she runs like new
Love my 99 Camry V6 -- great, great car. Only 150K, AC still blows ice cold. Gets 350 miles on a full tank. Starts right up, hauls ass, smooth, quiet ride. Runs like clock. The vehicle is 21 years old and will outlast and almost outperform every other newer car on the road.
I get almost 500 miles a tank but I drive 100 miles a day on the highway
My grandmother bought a 95 camry brand new back then, and she recently passed just a few weeks shy of 100 years old and left me her camry with 40,000 miles on it. Plan to keep it for a very long time.
I was dying laughing at the guy on the deck in 2:35. He’s just staring like “the hell is this guy doing” then a couple seconds later you see his wife appear😂 ”honey, the hell is that guy doing”

Someone at my job has a 95 Camry with 450,000 miles on it and she says it’s still Running fine with no issues.
I 100% believe this
JZ Dose had a 97 sold it at 350,000 miles ac still blowing strong and no problems! Miss the ol hoopty every now and again
Toyota Corolla : 470,000 km
My Camry has 500,000 and there's no mechanical issues just issues with corroded plastics but it's all really cheap to fix
343,000 on our '02 Camry but using oil like it's gas
I have a 92 Camry, the only drawback is that it can be hard to find in a parking lot with all the other maroon 90s Japanese sedans tricking me into thinking they're it.
im 19 and i just bought my first car recently, a 1999 camry. car's older than me and runs flawlessly, all thats wrong with the car are minor fixable cosmetic issues
Hold on to it. It's gonna be more reliable than just about any relationship that you'll ever have LOL
I just bought a 99 yesterday! I'm 53 years old and expect it to be my last car ever. I'm so thrilled with how it rides...🥰🥰🥰
It's a good first car. Congrats and good luck.
That's awesome! I had a 99 Camry for my first car too! Great on gas, I could get 30mpg with mostly highway driving, and it had enough room for 4 friends plus a lot of space in the trunk! I went camping and to a few music festivals with that car, then moved across the country in it. And I don't think I ever spent money on repairs, just oil changes and a tire occasionally.
Congrats!!! Learn to do your own oil change for that car. Do youtube research on oil filters (Purolator & Bosch) & buy them on Amazon when they're cheap. oil is cheap at wal-mart. Average oil price at autozone is 30-35. In wal-mart average is 20-25 with same brands.. If u need tools, there's black friday sales everywhere on tools. Lowes, home depot. .
You take care of that car, the car will take care of you. Hopefully this helps.

In 2020 I bought a 1992 Camry made in Japan. Only 108,000 kilometers in it. Paid $800 Canadian dollars. All it needs is oil changes. A couple light bulb needed replacing and soon a brake job. Timing belt was done at 88,000 kilometers so don't have to do that yet. Interior is mint but outside had a few scratches and dents. It's a 3.0 V6 so has good power. Parts are cheap! Love it! Cruises beautifully!

You know what's better than a Toyota Camry? A Toyota Camry Wagon.
All the reliability, rebostness, and cheap operation of a regular camry, with the immediate cool points of being a wagon, what else could you possibly need?
The Onion had a good article on this. Toyota Recalls 1992 Camry because their owners really should have bought something else by now.
I remember seeing that one!
Lol. Good one.
They were the best built cars and we're made to last unlike the newer crap that's designed to compete with these disposable cellphones. Great enough to be replaced by the upgraded next year's model.
The 2010 '93 Ford Taurus was another good one lol
Ahem. NEVAAAAR!!! 🤘😝🤘
I have a 92 Camry with 702k miles, and it still runs and I still daily drive it. Amazing car, still hasn't left me stranded.
Todd Vinson is that all on the original motor and transmission?
Wesley A. Orrin yes, although the transmission will slip every now and then on cold mornings
Todd Vinson thats incredibly impressive! Especially for a gas engine! Hopefully she keeps humming a long for years to come!
I call bullshit. Unless you drive it thousands of miles a day
I have to see a video
My mom bought a Pontiac grand prix in 1999 and it was the first new car she had ever owned. It went out of warranty and the transmission then failed. She then went and bought a 05 Camry in 2004 and it’s still going strong 17 years later with 330k miles.
I bought an 88 off my dad two years ago for $600. Had 95k miles and still ran like a top. Now it has 123k miles and still runs like a top. Some of the best money I've ever spent.
I bought a 96 Camry V6 XLE with 193,000 miles for only $1,200 and there are no issues, no damage, and it still runs smooth. The only thing I had to fix so far was a power steering leak
When you see a 94 Taurus it’s usually dragging its rear bumper on the ground 😂
broken coil springs, happens to all of the fords lol
Stephen Fairbanks owned older Ford Taurus they last a very long time and yes they still on rd!
Stephen Fairbanks The best car I ever had was a 2001 Ford Taurus.
Stephen Fairbanks it is impossible to see a 94 Taurus I really believe they are extinct.

Love the old Camry's. Supremely comfortable, reliable, and cheap. Bought mine well-used for $4k, it's got 280k kms currently and shows no sign of wearing out. I'm actually trying to replace it but can't find a newer car I like as much!

I got incredibly lucky because my Dad works for Enterprise and saw a car at an auction lot. It was my 1999 Toyota Camry. 55k miles, one owner who was an old lady who had bought it brand new and mostly kept it in her garage. I paid $1880.50. I did have to replace the water pump (and timing belt) soon afterwards but my Dad and uncle did the labor and I just paid for the parts which was $175ish. I can put 20 bucks in the gas tank and can go two weeks without going below a quarter tank. I have about 65k miles on it now and I plan to keep this car as long as I can. I love it, such an easy and pleasurable car to drive!
How's your Camry going these days? Sounds like you found a winner to me, should be with you for a very long time as long as you take care of it.
Yes!!!!!!!!!! Grandma Mable and Grandpa Jack are smiling about this from above. I inherited their 94 Toyota Camry 15 years ago and it’s taken me across the country and THEN some!!! Lovely gentleman from Corte Madera, if you see this, thank you :-)
97 camry owner here...love my camry and if i check the oil once a week and top it off if it needs any, it just keeps going and going.
Toyota should re-release this car with a newer engine and a few of the modern safety features added.
A. Aziz you just can’t build them like they used to be. Emissions and safety.
A. Aziz Aziz. I said the same exact thing this camry along with the 91- 94 legend & 91 accord those three cars still looks good on the road .
The newer engine will be a high compression dual Injection with dual VVT-i and ECO with bunch of computer controlled valves to comply with the modern emission standards, tranny will be a 8 speed one to comply with the modern MPG ratings, and the car to have a bunch of required expensive safety systems. This car exists, it is called Toyota Camry 2018
CNT lmaoooo
That would be a massive downgrade. That said I would drive a legacy Camri if I were to drive a sedan. Truth be told I'd rather drive a legacy 70's era Ram pickup or an old school Bronco. Still, better than a modern Chevy.
90s Camrys and Corollas will live amongst hover cars.
And Honda Accords.
@Roshiar FaresNot the Hyundais. Ford Crown Vics would be their if anyone treated them with the bare minimum of respect, so alas they all die as well.
There will be ads in 2038 to add in hover capability to 90s Camries for the equivalent of 6k, if you include the mandatory inclusion of an AI to drive the thing.
Ive had a 95 corolla DX sedan for the last 20k miles (2017-91k, 2019-111k) the only real problem it has had was that i needed to replace the ignition coil...
@@ConsciousRobot mine has 250k miles and running strong
Purchased my 94 in 2000 for $7,000 with 117,000 miles. It has 320,000 now, still going strong and drive it everyday.
Amazing
My sister and brother in law have a '99 with well over 250K miles on it. Still runs like a champ and they drive it almost every day.
My friend owned an old v6 camry for $500 that thing would literally never blow up had over 400k miles, he used tractor oil in it when he first changed the oil like a year ago, banged the limiter everywhere, took it off jumps, ran into random shit on his farm with it. Eventually he sold it to some crackhead guy for like $800 after everything he did to it, it ran like a champ.
He drove it into a lake. The crackhead is still down there with his foot on the peddle and its still spinning its tires years later.
I just picked up a 95 Camry wagon for $300. 147k and rough,but runs,drives and stops like new. Mechanically tight. This car will last as long as I ever want to drive it. Saving $ is awesome!
Nice !
My 93 Camry wagon cost me $2k from a lying Sob who paid $500 at an auction who flipped it on me .I've replaced everything except the 2.2l engine. Worst mistake I ever made.
Just bought a 93 Camry LE Station Wagon that had been sitting for 3 years. I was told they did not know what was wrong with it. Brought a fully charged battery and guess what this old car fired up on the first turn! 238,000 miles a little ruff, but clean body, paid $450 and drove it home! Love finding these old gems.
New oil and oil/air filter, make sure the valves are adjusted correctly and clean the throttle body. She'll purr beautifully. 😃
Might want to do a transmission filter and spill/fill. Everyone overlooks transmission maintenance.

This was my first car and I loved it and miss it. Mine was actually the XLE sedan and I would buy one of these again before a new model car even. I love the nostalgic look and reliability.
Got a 93 Camry from my brother and I loved it... recently upgraded to a 2019 Corolla... needless to say I miss the Camry lol!
I too had a 93 Camry and loved it more than my 98 Camry and 98 Avalon. Long live the ECT button!
Shaleigh09 I miss my 93 Camry but definitely feel like my 99 celica was a worthy replacement
Imagine if Toyota started selling new ones for $5k
Everyone would buy it
they would get so much money it wouldn’t even be funny
I wish they would. I’d buy 2!
I think your on to something
They cant because price of the basic components have increased with inflation. Even if they used the same parts, with modern cost it would be like 10k at least. In the 90s these parts were much cheaper...but then again it can be possible...
My 86yo mom needed to downsize from her aging boat of an Infiniti to something smaller and cheaper to maintain. Found a one-owner local 1992 V6 auto Camry sedan with 52k miles for $4000. The thing is like a time-capsule - still has the window sticker and original salesman's business card in the glovebox. It's even beige. The perfect old-lady mobile.
I used to have a 1994 V6 XLE model and man, I miss that car. Nothing major went wrong with it

I'd take neither. Buy an interesting car instead.
I still have my 2001 Toyota. I bought it from a friend ten years ago. The only thing that needed to be fixed was the window motors. And I had to replace the mirrors on it, too. But after that, I never needed to work on it. I keep a detailed maintenance record in the glove box

90's Toyota vs a very salty boi.
This was my first car, loved every minute of it. Ran it to 170k and then sold it to a friend who drove it to 250k and running. You can't kill these things. The 2.2L motor was the one to get.
I gave my ‘95 away with 319,000 miles on it. It still ran great and everything worked except the cruise control. It’s still running around town with the family I gave it to. Amazing value and reliability.
Take care of that old girl and she'll take care of you. I sound like a boomer right now but I wish they made them like they used to!

how is it? :)
It’s actually really good- it’s a secondary car to my 2017 Tacoma that gets 16 miles to the gallon, so it’s perfect for running around town- I lucked out and got one with 92k original miles- to me it’s a $2500 car all day long if you can find one.

This era feels like quality. The cars are solid in finish and driving feel.
Then carmakers added 1,000 cheaply-designed safety and driver assist functions that tend to act up and require constant expensive service. Like obsolescence engineering. Cars basically went from being an indestructible Blackberry to being a fragile, prissy little MacBook Pro that Apple blames you for when it doesn't just work.

Nah its the truth!!!! I have camrys and avalons all with over 300000 miles and no sign of failure to come.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that, I still see 90's and early 2000 Chevy Silverados on the road all the time
Go out in the country. Old S10's, Rangers, chevy 1500's, square body F150's, etc all over the place. Old Toyotas may be reliable, but they couldn't haul crap without bottoming out on frame.
My 2011 Caddy DTS just hit 205k and still rides like a Cadillac and I do the minimum maintenance on her.
I've got a 5S-FE Toyota Camry with 486620 miles on it currently the only thing wrong with it is the oil leaks (which is a usual occurrence) I honestly plan on keeping it forever because I've still got it's title and original papers that came with it nearly 25 years ago XD. It's an amazingly smooth car to be in!
edit: Turns out it was a power steering fluid leak and not oil. As of today (10/12/18) I have 487,268 miles on it :D
check out Blue Devil stop leak, its not just motor honey and doesn't damage seals. My roommates Camry leaked a quart a day and now he only tops it up every week or so.
No! It may not be oil it may be power steering fluid which these are far more likely to leak. Do not add anything to your oil until you confirm the diagnosis !
You should find out the reason for the leak, via a good mechanic.
The oil leak is more then likely from the oil cooler that sits right below the oil filter. You need a new o ring thats it.
It’s a ugly heap of shit. But a reliable ugly heap of shit that will live forever.
I got a 2013 Camry. It had 130,000 miles. But I drive like a grandma and do my best to take care of ot the best I can. I hope it lasts me a long time. I love it. The colors a mods it had when I bought it look really cool.
My grandma got a 1993 Camry brand new and sold it a year before she died in 2017, only because she couldn’t drive anymore, that’s another testament to it’s reliably
*flying cars exists*
flying cars:hey guys look at that weird car over there
toyota camry:i lived more longer than you
I mean, that's totally accurate. Even in the future, the 90's vehicles will still be easier to maintain because there will literally be (even now) MILLIONS of replacement parts in salvage yards. You could also safely assume that you might be able to get one whole in the next couple of years in good condition.
90s cars where more simpler but with newer cars, they have confusing controls.
Doug borrows a $120,000 Lexus and Tyler gets the $3,000 Camry. I think I see a pattern here. Everytime Doug reviews another $300,000 supercar you should try to find the absolute cheapest car possible that is sort of comparable. New Lexus vs old Camry. Both Toyotas.
I find Doug's videos kind of boring lately. Sitting down to watch half an hour of some super expensive car's quirks and features? Yeah, whatever...
Hoovie's review of this Camry was very refreshing in comparison.
I also felt the same but some of his videos of roasting cars are interesting. Like the mercedes matrix for example.
Mach Tony Agreed. How many times can you watch someone mainly play with the infotainment systems and climate control.
They are different people.
i dont care for videos of new cars i cant afford unless it involves watching them race or put to the limit.
My friend had a similar style as that one and he went on a cross country trip and it had over 300,000 miles on it. No weird sounds or anything. The car ran brand new. It was the weirdest shit I have ever seen.
My father in law has a Camry from this generation. Over 200k miles, still ran good and just needed minor work like alignment and spark plugs. I should have bought it from him.
My buddy has a 1995 Camry V6 XLE with all the bells and whistles and only 30,000 miles that he got from his grandpa, it's a great car and will run forever :)
Please make a video of it!!
Lucky
This car will last forever ... Toyota reability is excellent
yeah with the older ones you just have to check a few things .. the engines commonly leak or burn oil and the catalytic converter has issues
PAPA DZ 360 , not.
Back then....yes
leaks are not an issue usually fixed with a new gasket you're main issue is rust
sludge killed these off. can't remember the last time I saw one.
