    Not going to lie, I got a 2003 Camry XLE v6 and I love the looks and feel of the car, and I'm still in my 20's.

    I’m honestly surprised you said it was ugly the 5th Gen Toyota Camry has a massive amount of aftermarket support, you can upgrade the headlights to halo edition headlights. (Knocks off 10 years when it comes to looks!)These are very popular in other countries when it comes to souping them up. my parents bought one of these back in 2001 When they came out when I was a kid and I really liked the look of the vehicle i’ve owned two of them and I’m on my third one. When it comes to reliability definitely a great buy!

    I have a 2005 Camry LE with 300,000 kms. This 5th gen camry was the last solidly built Camry. The car is wide and long with plenty of space, gets great mpg on road and highway and the switch gear knobs and controls are as solid as they come. The 5 speed auto tranny is smooth as butter too. Toronto, Canada. FYI : the oil burning issue was from the 2007-11 models only due to small piston rings.

    I purchased a 2005 Camry LE in early 2019. I used it for LYFT as I didn't want to continue using my 2015 RAV4 which was purchased new and used in that capacity for 5 months . My Camry is an LE that had 226,000 miles on it and included leather seats in Salsa Red Pearl and beige interior. I stopped driving LYFT in march of 2020 when Covid hit. I subsequently put those birdseye maple inserts in the doors,,climate control and part of the gear shift.
    I have had replaced, the struts, brakes ,radiator starter,,alternator ,tires, speed sensor, oil pump points, plugs, valve cover gasket, rear stabilzer bushings and flex pipe.The dealer replaced the water pump under the 100 day warranty and charged me for labor for an O ring.Was I leery of buying a car with that many miles(now 256,000)? Yes but overall I love this car. it rides like new and I enjoy driving it more than the RAV4.

    A lot of those 2.4L had stripped head bolt issues. I had to get the head gaskets replaced on my 2006 SE camry at 187k miles. Its now got 2014k miles on it, probably can go another 200k or 400k miles. They also do burn oil too but must cars over 200k will burn some oil which is normal. The VVT intake gear is also common on a lot of Toyotas due to a design flaw as you will liley hear a rattile at cold start ups. Other than that Toyotas are solid vehicles and better made than anything else out there.

That should have ripped drivetrain parts to pieces!!! Never had a problem out of the transmission but that should have destroyed it. I have been a mechanic most of my life and I would not believe that story if somebody told it to me. It still does not make sense to me that that was physically possible. I did have the number one rod go to knocking and Toyota said that was a problem that happened occasionally and they could not figure out why. I had somebody roll a set of bearings in because the crankshaft was not hurt and for $450 continued riding.

      Apparently Toyota put steel head bolts into an aluminum block on these in 2002, making them susceptible to the threads stripping, as the two metals expand and contract at different speeds. If this happens the engine leaks coolant, and mimicks a blown head gasket. Expensive as hell to fix. Hopefully it doesn't happen to mine. (Most say that if you never overheat the engine, you're okay. But if you do overheat it, then watch out)...

    Many people are just worshiping Toyota vehicles. The truth is any vehicle with 200k miles bought second hand may die at any minute. You do not know the history of them. A 200k vehicle without proper transmission maintenance may die any minute. My neighbor's 2003 4runner with 250k miles died sundenly. Whereas, He used it for towing days before. I bought my 2002 Camry in 2012. It had 77k miles, and it has 156k now. I will not nuy anything with more than 80k miles. You can still save a car with 80k miles when you take care of it after the new ownership. I also bought 06 Fusion at 80k miles in 2015. It has 114k miles now.
