Buy it and dont think twice about it. Solid car, XLE package is sweet also.
244k miles on my Camry now. The Genesis has been at the dealer since last week on Friday and I've put 600 miles on the Camry since then.We got the 98 Camry in January 2014 from my lady's grandmother. A 16 year old car at that time in great condition. 66k miles.. Now at 183k miles.
Only issues since then 7 years later...
Power steering rack replaced
Alternator replaced
Bellows replaced in the front axles.
Age is not a big issue IF... The vehicle is run rather routinely and it was maintained very well.
A car sitting and not hardly ever moving or running... Will be in far worse condition vs a car older car run regularly.
Age in years is not a big deal at times. That 98 Camry is now going on 23 years old and next week the lady is driving it 440 miles west to near Asheville NC. I am going to do a thorough check over on the car tomorrow evening.
Her going on that trip with that 23 year old car...I'mt concerned about it.
jealous—how did yours get a temp readout? Mine has a button to set the minutes to 00’s, lol.
I've got that Mode button, it tells the time, temp in C, and temp in F. Might have come to the 2000 year with the refresh. I don't think my 97' had it.jealous—how did yours get a temp readout? Mine has a button to set the minutes to 00’s, lol.
Guess I should have held out! I feel deprived now.I've got that Mode button, it tells the time, temp in C, and temp in F. Might have come to the 2000 year with the refresh. I don't think my 97' had it.
Lol! Maybe zip tie one of these $10 Walmart thermometers behind your grilleGuess I should have held out! I feel deprived now.
dont buy a camry with v6-its not needed and will cost much more to service
Yeah, not a fan of that kind of thinking. Had a beater as a second car and then when that died, I figured why have a beater, got a second Mercedes as a beater. I knew a dentist that had a nice Mercedes SL but he hardly ever drove it, had a Civic as a beater although he bought them new and traded them in every few years.Debating my way of thinking. Buying a car so I don't drive the cars I like. Considering selling a couple of my cars instead.
I did see it and it looks pretty nice.
Again, thanks for the responses.
Yeah I think I'm done with beaters for daily drivers. I like having my Camry as a backup, plus my brother usually drives it to the grocery store and Starbucks, it sees maybe 3k miles a year.I alternate in my thinking of having a beater. Spend two hours a day in a car and you want it to be nice. But it gets rock chips, door dings and salt damage so why bother? But then if it breaks I have to drop it off and wait a couple days for it to get repaired. But the newer it is the more it costs per mile.
