Pros:

  • 315,000 mi and still going strong - 1999 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I purchased this car with 276k miles on it two years ago, and it has not failed me yet with nearly 315k on it. All Ive had to replace (aside from normal things like brake pads and oil changes) is the alternator belt. The six speaker stereo sounds great and can produce low bass and high treble. The quality of the materials used is unsurpassed, all the dash and trim still fits with no creaking or popping out of place. The v6 engine is smooth as butter, so quiet its hard to hear it running. The exterior is a little bland but is also conservative and clean.

    I bought this car brand new. Its has been very good on gas, reliability, good performance overall. Its a 5 speed so I do get good mileage.

  • Poor reliability - 1999 Toyota Camry
    By -

    After driving for 3 years+ and around 38K Mileage. I have to fix: 1) Car paints 2) Air flow sensor 3) Air fuel sensor 4) Oxygen sensor 5) Engine control unit and the last 3 part happened in two months after the 36000 mile coverage expired. It cost me R600+ to fix the above problem. I doubt Toyota is that reliable as it claimed.

    When I purchased this car in 2002 it had 35,000 mile --I added a rear spoiler and wow! What a dream of a car!! It has style,comfort,great ride and super options. I clean and maintain it regularly--it gets rave compliments by service mechanics and strangers on the street. One mechanic said that it will last forever! I trust the vehicle to take me anywhere and I always admire its handsome style. It makes me a very proud owner as I constantly "check it out" when passing store windows!! My motto,"take good care of your car and your car will take good care of you!!"

  • WOW - 1999 Toyota Camry
    By -

    This is my first used car in over 13 years. The economy killed me and didnt have a choice in getting a used car. I found a 1999 with 266,000 miles on it (2,300) and pampered its entire life. The car looks really nice and has had everything replaced and maintained. It cruises PERFECTLY like a brand new car at 80mph. All power options and AC work perfectly. I was worried I would be driving a beater... NOT THE CASE! Nice car!

  • Like my Camry - 1999 Toyota Camry

    Never a single problem.

  • Overall a great car - 1999 Toyota Camry

    I bought this car back in 06 when I was still in high school, with about 89,000 miles on it. 5 years later and it has 185,000 with no signs of stopping. There have been a couple repairs I have had to do including a costly sensor replacement at the dealership which ran about $1,300. That was back in 09. Then earlier this year, the car wouldnt start and I needed to buy a new air compressor at about $300...All in all a reliable vehicle that has not needed any other major services. The V6 has plenty of power for everyday driving (which here in SW Florida can be both fast-paced and aggravating) and I dont see any reason why this car wont make it to 200k and beyond.

    What an excellent car!! The V6 should be standard for this car. With the V6, this car is perfect. Lots of get up and go. No problems so far.

  • Low cost, low maintenance - 1999 Toyota Camry
    By -

    I always keep my cars 100k and longer. This is the first Toyota Ive bought and the first time to own a car that is low cost to maintain. Very little goes wrong. With the energy crunch, Ive lowered my speed to 60-65 and my mileage has gone from 30mpg on the hwy to 35mpg hwy. It has always maintained 24-25mpg in town. My only complaints are: the headlights; Ive changed the relay a few times but their light intensity is still weak; 2. Seating comfort: Im tall and thin and I feel like Im sitting on a park bench. Compared to an American car, the comfort level is inferior. Maybe the newer models are better with this. The low maint. and repair cost outweigh this issue.

    A very reliable, dependable, if unexciting auto. Does every thing that is expected..good design.not flashy, but attractive. Never any problems, all that it wants is gas and oil changes. Should keep going for a long time..
