I paid $2K for 2003 Camry a couple weeks ago with 197K on the odometer. Runs silent and smooth. Drove it 400miles already and only used half a tank of gas. This is absolutely validated in my experience. It's yet another one of those 'CarsThatLast'! Great video, sir.
I had a 1996 Toyota Camry and not only did it SURVIVE my driving, it SURVIVED an ahole semi on the freeway that had cut me off on passing lane and giving my hood a white stripe and trouble opening and closing it from then on without a lot of force, but it even GOT me 179m/288km to my destination.. and with NO OIL in it, as I found later! Hadn't worried since I had gotten the oil change at some time BEFORE this trip! It was a beast! Unfortunately, a second ahole semi totalled her, forcing me almost into the guardrail during construction when we were all prompted to change lanes away from the shoulder they were working on, and was even dragged a little in front of it, then forced into the left lanes, and Jesus He saved my life that day, I'm Grateful and Blessed! I survived and happily seen the guy ticketed mighty heavily! It was WELL OVER 321,868km/200,000m and bought it for €695.70/700$. Best vehicle ever!
my first car was 1999 Oldsmobile 88. At 216000 miles the 3800 ran like a top but unfortunately Michigan winters rotted out the frame and had to scarp it. Such a great car!
I have several Panthers. They're great cars, but of course they have some things that need attention every 12-14 years like the air suspension air bladders($100 total and put them on yourself) and a new intake manifold on 1996-2011 modes every 12-13 years and you can do this yourself for $200-$250 and do the oil filter adapter gasket at this time also for $17. Watch the oil level and Panthers can burn oil from the valve stem seals, especially on 1992-2002s. These Panthers hold up cazy well and my 03 Grand Marquis LS Ultimate has 270,000 miles and the only things since new is 1 intake manifold, 2 new rear air suspension bladders, and a new lighting control module was free under recall.
I have a 2001 Toyota Sienna with 436,000 miles with the original drive train. The car still rides well because it is well maintained with original parts and synthetic fluids from Castrol. .
That's very true! My 1999 Town Car plastic intake manifold went out at about 125kon my 2004 Town Car 155k. Also check the rear wheel wells. In the northern states were there salt this is where it has a tendency to start to corrode.
I love and appreciate the late 90s to early 2000 cars. Now that I’m older and so are the cars I can actually afford to buy the cars I loved as a younger person. It’s a joy to now be able to afford and pay cash for a beautiful Lexus LX, GX, LS, and SC. Not to forget their Toyota sisters Land Cruiser, Sequioa, and 4Runner. The problem I’m having is picking which one to buy! I feel like the kid in the candy store. Thanks for all the great info backed up with real researched data and stats. I’m so glad you are getting so much joy doing these videos bc I am loving watching them. Congratulations on such a successful channel. Being a female I’ve been thinking about doing videos about cars geared toward the woman driver. I know so many women who never even looked under the hood of the car and they feel intimidated by all things auto related. I might try it out. I’m not a genius gear head but I’d have fun researching the topics I’m less sure of. Any tips and thought would be welcomed. Thanks so much!!!
we have a corolla 2003 it has 250000 miles and still use it as a daily driver. The odometer stopped working at 186000 miles that was 4 years ago and my commute it 120 miles everyday
Did you buy anything yet? I’m looking in the 3500 and under range and just can’t settle on what I want. I’m all over the boards from a Lexus ES to a 98 4Runner.
I bought a 1998 mercedes c230. 2 owner with all service records for $2400. I would not recommend this car unless you can work on it yourself. Which I can. It’s a pretty basic benz so not super fancy. But safe and durable. Just too expensive to have a mechanic work on it For example I found a receipt for new motor mounts on the car at around 75k miles. It cost the previous owner almost $600 to have them replaced. It was time to do them again the car has 164k now. I bought them on EBay for $69 and changed them in an hrs time. Soooooo if I were you the 98 4 runners are good. Very reliable. And of course the cars in this video. Especially the Avalon.

Hey great question, I did a video about Consumer Reports and their satisfaction ratings. Check it out here, and thanks for watching. :-) Bill ruclips.net/video/lMsqHCmJDO4/видео.html
I graduated from MSU Mankato Minnesota but moved to San Diego California with average Temperature of 75. I own a 1986 Porsche with close to 200k miles and a Toyota Matrix 150k miles. I always suggest Toyotas and Lexus to family and Friends and Mercedes and BMWs to my enemies.
I paid $1800 for a 1999 camry solara v6 with 242000 miles on it OMG so quiet and smooth runs like a top ALL POWER SLE MODEL bought during pandemic everything works
I love the 3800 one of my all-time favorite engine LORD willing I'll always have a car with one had one in my 05 impala now i have one in my 07 grand prix
Anecdotally, here in Maine I see an incredible number of the 3.8 Buicks,. Far more than any other American vehicle of its generation. Also, there are many many many 90's Camrys. I think a good rule of them for figuring out what is reliable for older vehicles is to notice the ones of from the 90's that aren't surprising to see. Or from an opposite approach....you'll certainly notice a 1995 Neon driving passed you because it's so uncommon.
I think the Avalon should’ve been up higher in the list there are many of those cars with over 300,000 miles still on the road today it’s basically a big Camry
I have a 05 civic ex and I LOVE IT. It’s my daily because I plan on building my Subaru Wrx for power and looks so I can’t daily my WRX. Instead I daily a super clean civic with only 35,600 miles on the original engine and original everything. Everything on the car works and it’s amazing on gas!! I recommend an older non modified civic
I own a transportation company in florida my cars have always been Chrysler 300's since the 2005 model thru 2011 with th 3.5 liter engines. My 2005 was still going at 487,000 when I sold it. My 2010 is still going with 465,000 on it probably replacing it this year 2022. I also have a 2013 with the newer 3.6 liter engine and it has 365,000 but i can tell this one may barely make it to 400,000 too much electronic stuff in it. So i highly recommend them. The only thing I replaced in them were fuel pumps and starters.
I hear ya! I’m in Minnesota too, cannot wait for this snow to end. I’m starting to cuss at the weatherman. What about the Corolla? I have a 2004 with close to 300,000 miles on it. Started right up through all these cold spells. It has rust though which is its downfall.
Just picked up a mercury grand marquis’s with 119k miles for 1k person needed to get rid of it we’re taking any offer. Hopping this car will last me awhile
I have a friend who has a 2003 Honda CRV, bought from new, and I almost couldn't believe it when he told me it has racked 388,000 miles. And he is no mechanic of any sort. But it still runs well, he said.
Ive seen one the same year that was donated to my automotive school with 457k miles on it still ran and drove around the parking lot. Motor and trans was removed and body sent to the crusher
My mom had a 1996 Taurus and it didn't last 6 years 😒. It blew the transmission on the way back from a 600 mile trip. This was her second car, her first one was a 1990 Ford Tempo, it did the exact same thing. After the taurus broke down she got a 2004 Toyota Corolla. Had zero issues over the 6 years they had it. They had to sell it in 2010. Right now she drives a 2017 Honda Odyssey. She said she will never go back to a Ford again. Edit: The Tempo was the only used vehicle she had ever bought. That being said it was only 3 years old when she bought it.
My fav car 1990's is geo metro/ Suzuki swift. Easiest car to DIY service and repair, better than Toyota/Honda in this respect. Everything is low tech but so much better, with fewer electronics to break.
You failed to mention something very important about the GM 3.8 series II engine: nearly every one of them will require an $800 intake manifold gasket repair between 140k to 160K. count on it. Once that expensive "GM wont own up to it" repair is done, then they will last a very long time.
I've never been a fan of GM's Series II 3800 V6's (the newer Series III 3800's are better), I always felt they were over-hyped. They almost always need intake manifold gaskets which normally allows coolant/oil to mix internally (I've seen some leak externally too, but usually it's other way around which is worse)... Mass Air Flow Sensors, Crankshaft Position Sensors, A/C compressors, "TheftLock" engine immobilizer issues, and a few other little naggy parts of the 3800's also have high failure rates and overall make owning cars with those engines kind of miserable long-term. Best things about them are gas mileage, low end torque (when they run good), and that they're fairly easy to work on/cheap to maintain. But since the Series II 3800's are kind of needy & most of the cars wrapped around those engines were poorly built anyway, I just wouldn't recommend any of them.
I checked out some Honda Accords. but it says internet price. Do you know if that means I have to buy it through the internet.why would they sell a car like that?
CarsThatLast ooh, never thought about that. I was looking at a 09 toyota canary at 180,000 miles for $ 5995 but internet price is $3993🤔🤔🤔, fed, 2.4 L 14SMPI DOHC 5 speed automatic. Is this a good buy, or leave it?
@@Stressless2023 That's sad, because I like the design and it was a really nice drive so was considering it for my mom. It's just so difficult to find a Camry that hasn't been neglected. Camry owners just don't take care of their cars it seems.
You couldn't find a Ford Panther with 400,000+ miles ??? Their everywhere!! When I was a taxi driver back in the day 1/2 the fleet had 400,000+ miles on them. I'm really surprised NO ONE talks about the Chrysler minivan's with the 3.3L Those are THE longest lasting non-diesel vehicles my family has ever owned. The van I used for towing lasted 375,000. the other 3 that were not used for towing we got 440,000+ miles on ALL of them!!! My 2 Toyota's couldn't do that LOL, Hell my 2 Toyota's couldn't even do over 250,000 miles
In Europa Honda s , set aside their Rover adventure , that not comply to reliability either - are not known for durability. Brands like volvo and some merecedeses are. But spending only 2000 dl, i d not be 'brand oriented' Any problem can occur with very old cars, also you can be lucky, it happens. Mindset ' be prepared for problems. Handa is known for fast cars here ie. Civic type R and legend 3,5 that is very competent, where vw derivates are expensive mostly, and can be gotten longer or armored. But, well..who needs that.
My mom has a 2001 Honda Accord Ex with 250,789 with the 2.4 vtec engine and it’s still going strong nothing wrong with it but the seats are in need of replacing so I’m going to do that and she used to have a 1997 Honda Accord with 411,190 miles but the transmission finally went out she always had to shift the gears even though it was an automatic like it’s complicated 😂
@@emeyer6963 yes ive heard that but a taxi company i use, they use a lot of mid 2000 taurus 03 and up. And they are pretty dependable. One driver told me that his taurus had over 300,000 on his, at the time he told me this his transmission was going out but he was still driving it.
HiShO HiShaM Love Love Love Lexus/Toyota. I really wish Scion figured a way to to be more successful bc it was a great lower priced option for a Toyota enthusiast

Get it checked out by a mechanic and have them start with checking if the odometer has been tampered with.

I'm really surprised NO ONE talks about the Chrysler minivan's with the 3.3L Those are THE longest lasting non-diesel vehicles my family has ever owned. The van I used for towing lasted 375,000. the other 3 that were not used for towing we got 440,000+ miles on ALL of them!!! My 2 Toyota's couldn't do that LOL, Hell my 2 Toyota's couldn't even do over 250,000 miles
The Ford Taurus,transmission issues and the only good engine they had was the 3.0 Vulcan engine.Had the 3.8 until 1995 which ate headgaskets.
I love my 2001 Toyota Avalon
I have a 2002 Avalon runs amazing
Camry's with high mileage r all over the world bcoz they are also used as taxi cabs
98+ panther at minimum; ideally 2001+ panther for drivetrain updates.
In Europa Honda s , set aside their Rover adventure , that not comply to reliability either - are not known for durability. Brands like volvo and some merecedeses are. But spending only 2000 dl, i d not be 'brand oriented' Any problem can occur with very old cars, also you can be lucky, it happens. Mindset ' be prepared for problems. Handa is known for fast cars here ie. Civic type R and legend 3,5 that is very competent, where vw derivates are expensive mostly, and can be gotten longer or armored. But, well..who needs that.
I have 360k on my 2000 honda accord 3.0 liter
This was posted Feb, 2019, the cars you mentioned must be all gone by now.
My mom has a 2001 Honda Accord Ex with 250,789 with the 2.4 vtec engine and it’s still going strong nothing wrong with it but the seats are in need of replacing so I’m going to do that and she used to have a 1997 Honda Accord with 411,190 miles but the transmission finally went out she always had to shift the gears even though it was an automatic like it’s complicated 😂
The ford 3.0 v6 is good engine its in the Taurus and ranger pu. Truck and explorer. I have almost 200.000. On my 03 rusty taurus.
Transmission is the Taurus downfall.DOHC V6 or Vulcan V6 both are good motors
@@emeyer6963 yes ive heard that but a taxi company i use, they use a lot of mid 2000 taurus 03 and up. And they are pretty dependable. One driver told me that his taurus had over 300,000 on his, at the time he told me this his transmission was going out but he was still driving it.
@@Tmax-ub5br Any sort of maintenance done to the transmission that made them more dependable?
Do you know a cheap car that I can buy to learn to drive a manual transmission?
Volvo 200/700/900 and 850 are the best
if you pay
2 grand or less for just about any car in NY state..the frame is gonna be a rusty mess, very crunchy like crackers!
Toyota always win the game..
HiShO HiShaM Love Love Love Lexus/Toyota. I really wish Scion figured a way to to be more successful bc it was a great lower priced option for a Toyota enthusiast
Toyota's rule! Toyotas rock! Hondas are fun to ride but have lousy transmissions !?$%
My 2003 Toyota Avalon xls 141000k!
And my old car made the list too 2005 Chevy Impala.. probably my favorite car...drove and felt much like the Avalon I have now..
A Camry vs a Taurus? As the kids would say, LOL!
I got a 2009 Silverado with 289,500 miles
You are so beautiful and generous!!
Wow, what a nice compliment. Thank you!

Americans be looking at 4.6L V8 cars while 60% of them have less than a grand in savings, lmao.
5 European cars lovers dislike this video..
