- When Edna Weber bought her 1999 Toyota Camry used in 2002 she wanted something reliable, but she never could have imagined she'd see it reach half a million miles and counting.
“500,000 miles later and it still runs like a clock!” - Scotty Kilmer
He really loves his Toyota's!
@@cayden9224 They're reliable as heck.
Meanwhile, next week: My Toyota Broke and I'm Mad As Hell!
He must be kicking himself that ABC action news beat him to this story ! 🤣
@@Tbird761 You just need a high level scan tool and a mechanic like me.
Thats the easiest to drive and most reliable little car I ever had...
99' Toyota Camry I recommend to anyone as a daily driver. Congrats on those 500k! 😊😊😊
This is my first and current car rn. I'm of course thinking of getting something nicer in the future but no way am I letting mine go. Only 120k miles on it
215k miles so far and something breaks in it every two weeks but oh well 🤣
my aunt had a 97’ that and kept it until she got a 2009 camry xle in april of 2008
I'm almost halfway there with my 2002 IS 300 250k miles
Toyota Camry is not a little car. Its the higher model sedan from Toyota. Corolla is the little sedan
I work at a Toyota Dealership and I can honestly say that this particular car from this generation was one of the best cars that Toyota ever built. They've pretty much always made good cars in terms of longevity and reliability but anytime I get behind the wheel of one of these older Camrys I am always amazed at just how good they still drive.
Correct these are reliable cars, but 3rd gens are even better
Is Toyota still fixing the transmission/torque converter shudder problem for free? On the 2012 to 2015 Camrys?
@@3dsmaxrocks699 I’m not sure about that. You’d have to call and ask them
@@mds2465 thanks. I heard they are until 11/22.
My Carvana warranty runs out in August. Either way I'm covered. Other than that my 2014 Camry is like brand new.
99k miles. Put 200 miles a week on it for work and costs 25 bucks in gas a week.
Yeah this generation is very reliable!
I work for Toyota and I’m proud to see videos like these. We take pride in building reliable vehicles and will continue to set the bar
Love your comments!.You are why I buy Toyotas!.😎🤗
Only toyota for me. Wouldnt trust anything else
New tundras are really bad hope they get better
Can you hook me up with a GR corolla when they come out 😭😭😭
I'm glad they're making fun cars like the gr carolla, 86 and the supra again. Iifelong rhcp fan myself too.
My 99 Camry has 346k, these 4th generation Camrys are probably the best cars ever made.
What’s sad is that even Toyota doesn’t make their vehicles that reliable anymore. I own a 2011 Toyota Avalon with almost 200k miles and still runs great. Routine Maintenance is the key to their longevity.
3rd gens are better, but yeah 4th gens are reliable too
I got a 5th gen, but yes 3rd and 4th gen Camrys were the best vehicles ever made in automotive history imo.

My wife has a 99 camry with 350,000 plus miles.
Car has its issues but overall runs very smooth,ac works great.
Great dependable car
This makes me smile thinking about my 99 Camry I got last July at 215k. Such humble caring cars.
At the beginning I read "Largo woman" as "Large woman" and was expecting to see how a Camry would have faired after 500K miles driving around a large woman 😂
same hahahahaha
It just goes to show you how bulletproof Toyota vehicles, even older ones, are engineered. The Japanese really know how to engineer a car that will last for years if you take good care of it. I mean this car is from 1999, and it's going strong 23 years later. This shows how well the owner is taking care of it, kudos to her :) I mean no weird noises, the engine starts up very smoothly, and the exterior just looks really clean like it was from the factory 23 years ago. Even with that check engine light, I'm sure there really isn't anything wrong with it if she takes it to the mechanic often. It's a Toyota after all~~ When it comes to reliability, Honda and Toyota are the top 2 easily.
Yes no need too much hanky panky high tech that makes car more fragile easy to break... ruin... thats stupid .. more money to spend after you buy it to fix it all the time.. !!!!
does have an exhaust leak but yeah looks very solid
Pretty sure the older toyotas were even more bulletproof than the more recent ones
100% older ones were more reliable than modern Toyotas
New toyotas are not ultra reliable and neither are hondas. Nissan pickups are the only Japanese product thats still elite. New tundra already bad. Tacomas still ok but last 2 gens were much much better
The best car ever made. It's all you will ever even need. Toyota Camry, such a workhorse, fantastic 👏 yes this is my opinion yall
Pretty much anything Toyota will last you forever. I'm Canadian, and jealous we never got the legendary Land Cruiser on our side of the boarder (we got the 4runner and all the other ones but the Land Cruiser is iconic and available like everywhere except Canada). The Japanese in general just make simply the most reliable well built vehicles on the global auto stage. Subaru, Toyota, Honda, you name it. There's a reason the Japanese (and the Koreans aren't far behind) only drive their own. There are few Chevys or Buicks on the streets of Hiroshima, but there are a zillion Toyotas on the streets of Buffalo or Toronto.
@@theschof96 my future goal is to own a 1997 Toyota Soarer from Japan imported 2.5 v6 turbo
Best car ever made really depends on what you rate the car of
@@rafaelgomez1200 trust me on this one
@@omaromerika4291 yea ik we owned one its def a good car for reliability and from just getting point a to point b im just sayin best car ever made really depends on what you rate it from like people say example a ferrari from a certian year is the best based of performance and heritage
I have a 2000 Camry of the same generation and it still runs and drives perfectly with 300,000 miles. If you for any reason need a first car or a cheap car or just one you know is going to last then get an old Camry. These things are built better than most actual tanks
They last for eternity.. Reliable cars
Thinking about buying a 1999 camry i seen selling for 3k with only 112,000 miles on it since I know these things will last so long
My Toyota Camry 2000 has 60 k miles but the engine is leaking oil. They said it needs a new engine. 😭
@@zionz1164 depends on how it was maintained. Plenty of this gen are boat anchors at 125k with shit care
@@helenh.8675 I dont know who they is but id get a 2nd opinion
my first car as a teen was my mom's 1999 toyota camry v6, it was easy to drive had GREAT visibility (minimal blind spots) and was very reliable. It had well over 350,000 miles before my mom traded it in for a 2020 ACURA RDX.
not gonna lie, those new acuras are sexy
Acuras are turds but new toyotas are barely any better
@@mattbrew11 Acuras are just fancy hondas and new hondas are pretty damn good...
Why tf would your mom trade a 20+ year old car damn well knowing she's going to get jack shit for it, when she could of kept that one or gave it to someone in your family. Or just kept it because new cars are trash compared to these toyotas
“Not really!” 😂 I like how she’s not making up some fake shit like most people.
Okay you sound like a total fool
Before she said that, I was thinking, “Please don’t say it called to you. It’s a tan Camry. Come on.”
Toyotas are amazing. A guy in Louisiana got a million miles on his Tundra. Toyota found out about it and gave him a brand new one in exchange for his old one so they could study it’s longevity. I’ve heard of other people getting over 300k doing nothing more than replacing batteries, brakes and changing the oil and that’s it!
*LOL, They wanted to see what thay could design thinner and cheaper, or see where non removable components could be utilized*
@@bitshtannicajohnson6957 yeah unfortunately you’re probably right. The bean counters are looking over the engineers asking what can be made cheaper with every nut, bolt and part they remove 😂
That's truly amazing! We also have a 99 Camry with 273k Miles and going strong. Yes we've done a bunch of repairs to keep it going. As it's been an amazing car.
Still rolling in my ‘87 Camry with 238K miles. Original engine and 5-speed transaxle. Camrys are tanks.

I'm sure he would since his 94 Celica has 400,000 miles.
the 1999 camry's are seriously insane, i have one love that care
Got the same car, I'm about to hit 300k. Just changed the lower control arm on the driver side, bushings were gone. AC works great, awesome on gas. Just love it. Named it Tony.
Congratulations Edna in reaching that milestone of mileage with that 1999 Toyota Camry! This is a rare thing to see! I remember when those vehicles came out brand new and on average people would start giving them up around 130k to about 200k in the State of Massachusetts, due to rapid rust.
I used to live there unfortunately it’s very common in New England due to the close proximity to the beach, humidity, & definitely the road salt needed to deal with the brutal winter storms there. I live in Utah and although we get some snow, rust is not a big deal here, but of course every place has pros and cons.
I'm in Massachusetts and I just got my 05 avalon xls with 180k miles that was well taken care of, it's 17 years old and it has very very little rust on it, the previous owner must've taken it for undercarriage washes often so I shall do the same
If you live in a rust belt state and you plan to keep a car past a couple of years, why wouldn’t you undercoat it? I never understood this.
@@QuizHeavenTriviawithJonasif it was the beach and humidity then you’d see cars in Florida rusting out. It’s the road salt and freeze thaw cycles.
Yep, drivetrains last a long time nowadays, but the bodies don't 😓 especially in snowy area where salt on the roads just annihilates the entire undercarriage.
Now that's some awesome news. Good job girl. Driving like an old lady...Camry loves it.
I had the same Camry. 340k miles till I crashed it. Haven't turned it in for years till 2 years ago It sold it to junkyard and I surprisingly turned on with a little jump
Scotty Kilmer has never been more proud than that. He knows how well dependable Toyotas are.
He only likes 1994 celicas with 238k miles.
Yup, we got somebody to prove it.
So does Car Wizard.
@@hedga001 true too.
Nothing gets me off like a successful Toyota lifespan. I live for this shit
I have a 4th gen Camry too, It's my first car I've ever had and It has never let me down and I've never let her down by always changing the oil regularly.
I have a 1995 Camry LE 4 cylinder with 300,000 miles .
AND
I have a 1989 Ford Mustang 5.0 automatic with over 500,000 miles.
Been driving it since 1990 when I bought it from a dealer with 22,000 miles on it.
Both are great cars.
That 302 is bulletproof.
Congrats on 500K! My ‘99 just rolled over 331K today. Looking forward to 500K.
i have a 99 camry v6....very reliable and very easy to maintain....lots of inexpensive parts in the salvage yards and also brand new
my 98 camry’s still going strong even though it was really neglected by the previous owner. keep up with basic maintenance and these things are bulletproof.
Plus parts are affordable

Is it the LE or SE 4 or 6 cylinder?
@@bryanfews5295 SE 4 cylinder. Red
Cool got a black one last year 2012!

I own a 1997 toyota hilux has done 430000kns
Thank you to the mechanics who kept this Camry going too! Without their help, these Camrys wouldn't be lasting forever.
My 1999 corolla has 350k miles on it. It has the 5 speed manual. Good little car. Never had an issue with it.
Watching this video makes me appreciate my own 1999 Camry so much; Japan-built LE spec with the V6. Sure the paint is rough from over two decades in the southern sun, but at only 123k miles, it easily has another 350k miles to run.
Toyota really knocked it out of the park throughout the 80s and 90s. Peak Japanese engineering!
u can never go wrong with japanese cars, i love my lexus
Ive got 545k on my 1998 Jeep Wrangler. Original owner. One rebuilt transmission and I swapped in one ton truck axles long ago. Exhaust manifold cracked early on so i swapped on Borla lifetime warranty headers and exhaust and its been great. Original 4L Inline 6 engine still runs awesome. Secret has been Rotella 5w-40 sythetic changed every 7500 miles and keeping coolant fresh. Has been on 37” tires since 20k miles. Still love it like day one at its taken me to some crazy places no camry ever could
what was youre gas milege?
90s Japanese sedans are just built to last. Even today's models don't feel the same compared how they were made back then.
Idk…my 2021 Camry hybrid feels really solid, but we’ll see.
Thats because they aren’t. The best japanese sedans now are Mazdas. By a healthy margin. I own a very very large business and we have a large fleet of vehicles. My data clearly shows mazda is the right choice for the 3, 6 and CX5 sizes and weve tried them all. As far as trucks, the F150 is the best though the old tundra was close. The new tundra is bad and we are dumping them
I have a 1999 Camry LE, 277k miles, going strong. I also have a 1998 Toyota 4Runner with 350k miles.
I have a 99 Camry. I wasn't so lucky with mine. I bought mine from a scammer dealer guy. It threw a rod 1 hour into ownership with 121k miles. Was told by the mechanic the previous owner never changed the oil and also that the car came from Copar aka the junk yard. It cost more to get the car repaired than what i payed for it. I decided to get it repaired. I got a rebuilt Japanese engine put in it. The car has worked great ever since. I get a average of 28mpg and its nice to drive. I have put 7k miles on it and already did 2 oil changes and even switch to full synthetic oil. I hope to keep it as long as I can. It has every thing I need in a car.
After the repairs you did, it should last forever
500k miles on a Camry, thats just breaking in miles. These old Camrys can last forever!!! Old Toyotas never die. I still see this generation and the 2002-2006 Toyota Camrys on the road still. Very well built car! Car still looks perfect and clean for it's age!

They look much more modern than their years would suggest.

Such a good joke their is million mile Hyundais/Kia my guy relax. Even tho those are good too

My dad bought a Corolla in ‘99, it’s lived to be my car now, and she’s still got plenty of life left.
I'm still driving my 98 Camry thanks to my darling husband who keeps it running for me. It's got 250k on it and hasn't had any major issues in all these years. I doubt if we'll ever see reliability like that again, ever, because vehicles are not manufactured in Japan anymore. The pride is no longer there.
Where are they manufactured
@@jss.2020 They're made in Mexico and Canada. I think some are even made in the US.
Uh, many many cars are manufacturers in Japan... what are you talking about? The 4Runner, Prius, sometimes a RAV4 or Corolla. And I trust the American division's of Toyota to make good cars here. They have been for many years.
@@baronvonjo1929 I was talking about CAMRY
@@Speedo6677 you do realize that just because they’re made somewhere else that doesn’t correlate to them meeting Toyota’s requirements right? It just means they’ve expanded the cars manufacturing due to its success. Wether it’s in Japan or Mexico they both have to follow the exact same rules and quality. You literally have nothing to worry about! It would be different if America bought the brand and now Toyota’s are being made in America yeah… we don’t know how the reliability will turn out, but it’s just factories Toyota has built here if anything it helps to supply more jobs.
My 05 Camry is at 223,800 and it still runs fine. I’m praying that it makes it to at least 300k
Beautiful. What a nice happy story. Like Edna, I adore my all original 98 Toyota Camry 2.2L Auto with 250,000 miles and just as she said, keep up with maintenance and attend to any issues (that rarely happen!) and she’ll last you a lifetime. I’ve owned mine since 2011 and by far the best car I’ve ever owned. Keep driving Edna!
My mom owned 3 generations of Camry’s and this was her last. I ran a carfax for all 3 and they all are still on the road as of 2018! A 88,92,99. She upgraded to a newer generation model.
I misread that as a "large woman" and pictured Bea Arthur driving the Camry.
The Camrys and Accords can go forever. Good for her keeping it running with all that milage.
I misread that too
My 1999 Camry V6 has 276K miles, but it has some clear coating peeling off. Edna's 99 Camry looks incredible good from the exterior.
Get a cheap paintjob, like Maaco. It will look nice as long as there aren't too many big dents.
I have a 2007 Toyota Yaris with 316,000 miles on it. Very reliable and I will continue to drive it. Maintenance and driving like a grandma are key to longevity on a car.
Nice!👌
I had a 1999 Nissan Maxima that hit 350,000 miles until I gave it away to a family member
I hear those were better since it was before Nissan merged with Renault in the early 00's resulting in poorer quality.
Nissan back then made good cars. certainly the Frontier, Altima and even the Pathfinder. Then they were sold a couple of times and make crap now.
Just brought the exact same car now about a month ago! But looking at replacing the carpet, fixing the heater and upgrading the stereo soon!
I had a 2004 Camry with 272k miles on her when we were rear ended and she was totaled, she was the best car I'll ever own. My mom got her brand new in 2003 when I was 8 months old and when she drove her home after we were hit and had the whole back end smashed in she said she still rode like new. I've never been in a car that comfortable, and I've been in 7th and 8th gen Camrys for hours at a time. 4th and 5th gen Camrys are just built different. Those things are unkillable. She could've gotten to 300k easy, and I wouldn't have been at all surprised if she made it to 500k. I'm biased because I grew up in her and I went through a lot with her by my side but I will never love a car like I loved that car. She was part of the family, we were all so sad to see her go, but she taught me so much and she did her job and she kept us safe for 18 years. RIP little blue car.
My grandma has a 1989 Chevy caprice classic she bought new in 89 and has its original transmission and engine and she still drives it till this day.

My brother still owns and drives an '85 Corolla (built in 1984). It survived 3 marriages and outlasted his ex wives many, many vehicles.
He probably needed such a dependable car. All he could afford? I bet his exes had to have the latest and greatest?
I've got a 2002 4Runner with over 400,000 miles. It gets an oil change every few years or so. I've already given up on the idea of V8 swapping it after the engine blows up because its stubborn and won't die.
My much younger 2015 Camry just hit 100,000 miles and I've never had any issue with it. It's probably the most reliable thing I've ever owned. I love that car so much.

There’s at least 50 1999 Toyota Camry’s on base in Hawaii. My father owned one and it had zero problems (except for the power window on the driver’s side). He sold it at 200,000 miles back to the dealership but he told them not to junk it.

Honestly these cars are good. The replacement parts are cheap enough. I paid $400 for mine with 300k miles. It ended up needing the engine heads resurfaced. Lucky for me My mechanic hooked me up, only charged me $700 to fix it. So for $1100 I had a car with cold A/C lol. So far since then I’ve replaced a lot of items but the car is mechanically sound. I’m only in the whole car for $3200 but everything is in top top shape. Can easily resell it for $2500.

Mine has 220,000 miles and I've owned it for 21 years.
I thought the title said "Large women" LOL.
This is why I love Toyota/Lexus, you can't beat their kaizen philosophy and jidoka methodology. They make vehicles that last and they care about their consumers (at least in their Japan headquarters)! It says a lot when most dealerships try to upcharge their services and several companies use planned obsolescence for profit incentives, especially in the U.S.
My 99 is the best car I ever owned. 190k and still goes 100 miles on highway every day.
205,000 miles on my '04 Toyota Solara. I'm trying for 1/4 million, then, I'll see where else my car takes me. Congratulations on 500,000 miles, young lady.
My mom has an '05 Solara V6 with probably 215k on it now and she's hardly had to have any work done since new. Only time it left her stranded was when the alternator went bad. It has a timing belt which is an annoyance since it's an interference engine so it has to be changed every 80-100k as preventive maintenance but otherwise very reliable.
@@Stressless2023 I actually just replaced my alternator two weeks ago. It's the only major (not routine maintenance) work I've ever had to do to my car. Easiest alternator I've ever changed.
@@hislairdship8961 Yeah I put the alternator on for her myself, wasn't as easy as some GM cars I've done where the alternator is almost as easy to change as a battery since they sit right on top, but yeah it was easy enough and the original lasted over 200k so I was still impressed. Just did hers about 3 months ago so yours lasted almost as long. If you have the V6 make sure to do that timing belt though... Didn't realize these things had interference designed engines until her car had well over 150k and when I inspected her timing belt it was so cracked and dry rotted it looked like it would have broke that day if I hadn't changed it. I did the water pump at the same time as preventive maintenance since it makes sense just to do them both while you're in there.
@@Stressless2023 I have the 4-cyl Solara. Only problem I had with the alternator was getting the serpentine belt back on lol. Timing belt it still good. I just had to remind myself that my car has to do a hard reset anytime I disconnect my battery.
@@hislairdship8961 Oh you're in good shape then since the 4cyl is chain driven, no belt to worry about. More room under the hood to work too, it's more cramped with the V6 so the alternator job isn't quite as friendly. And yeah all Toyota's are weird when you disconnect/replace the battery. I replace my moms last year and none of the windows worked and I think some dash lights were on too, almost took it to the dealer for her out of frustration until I RUclipsd it and found out how to make the car stop spazzing out lol.
Owned a 98 Camry same 4cylinder . Drove for months then one day decided to check the oil absolutely no oil ! It was a burner but I was most surprised that it did not locked up!! Camrys are indestructible !

Looks like it has been very much taken care of. Props to her. Take care of your car and it shall reward you with endless miles.
I had a 2000 Camry that I drove for 11 years. It was very dependable. I sold it in 2011 and the next owner drove it over 200,000.
My 2002 Volvo has 310K miles & still running strong... I use it as a dog hauling vehicle whenever I take my 5 Lab's anywhere... As long as one keeps their car maintained, it will last... Camry's as well...
My dad's 2006 or 2007 S60 was hot garbage. We have had many cars over the years all with the same kind of maintenance and care. That Volvo just didn't care. We won't ever consider anything from Europe again. But good on you for having a good time. A crappy car is a mess.
No some cars are just junk and thats that
I have the last year of this same generation of camry(2001). I inherited mine in the worst, and i mean worst condition possible. Ive been restoring it for the last 5 years slowly but surely.
Look how well the car looks. Of course it's taken cared of by an old lady. Youngsters look and learn
It still looks new like it came from the factory in 1999. I still think that Camry looks great to this day. Very simple design that's kinda timeless in my opinion.
In India there is a Toyota Innova which has done 10 lakh kilometers which is approximately 621371.192 miles
Toyota's are built to last 💪
So 1 million km. Got it.
My 1999 camry is at 300000 I hope it lasts a long as Edna's 🙂 I call mine The Queen 👸 ❤
I have a 2000... This generation with the 2.2 engine is legendary.
I have the Same Car in the Same coulor the xle Version and my Father bought it 2002 too with 14 000km on it too greetings from Germany 😊😊😊
Good news, I have a 1999 Camry with only 95,000 miles, so I have a ways to go. No problems so far.
I've had my 99 Camry 4 cylinder for 21 years years now. These things are no joke. One of the best cars ever built in terms of reliability.
@@inertiaforce7846 When do you need to change the timing belt and water pump and what does that cost? I am getting close to 100K. Thanks
@@grob318 Timing belt is recommended by Toyota every 90,000 miles according to the owner's manual if I remember correctly. However, the engine is a non interference engine which means that if the timing belt snaps, the pistons and valves will not hit each other and therefore no engine damage will occur. I did not change my timing belt even though I knew it was recommended by Toyota at 90,000 miles I just kept driving until it snapped because it was a non interference engine. The timing belt lasted until 180,000 mi before breaking. I then had the car towed to a mechanic to replace it along with the water pump. I don't remember the cost this was like 5 years ago but I think it was around $450 for the timing belt and water pump and labor if I remember correctly.
2011 And counting love my baby 🥰🥰
My 2000 impala hit 300,000 6/22/2022
Still roars like a boat but i have had issues with my 4 months of owning it
Let me guess, 3.8L engine?! Awesome
That non-interference engine makes this machine a tank!
💯 timing belt , breaks no catastrophic engine failure just replace the timing belt and it's compents
These cars last forever the A/c is chilling and maintenance is low and a favorite in Nigeria which imports from u.s and Canada with already high mileage
Shoot, I took my '91 Corolla to 634K and it was getting over 40mpg. Greatest car in the world.
There are way more cars out there with 500k+ miles on them than people think.
My uncle has a 6th gen Toyota pickup with just over 450,000 miles! Hopefully it can reach the 500,000 mile milestone as well! Congrats to the Camry owner!
00:55. Check engine light. The light everybody ignores 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂fr
Edna just driving over her front lawn without an f to give. You go girl.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm right behind you, 435xxx on my 98 camry
I love it when people really take care of their cars
I used to favour the V6 but have come around to realising Toyota really excel in four cylinder motors and they are more simple and serviceable, robust, tolerant of skipped services and better on fuel.
She chose wisely.
Adequate power wins out over ample power for the long haul.
