  Cant Lose - 1998 Toyota Camry
  By Quinton - May 6 - 10:00 am

  The Camry LE V6 is an outstanding vehicle because it does everything very, very well. Reliability is outstanding, servicing cost is reasonable and the car is a joy to drive. Interior is absolutely functional with clear,easy to read dials, knobs and controls. The most satisfying car purchase I have ever made. Cant say enough good things about the vehicle.

  Outstanding - 1998 Toyota Camry
  By zman2 - March 1 - 10:00 am

  I have had my 98 camry for >6 years. The only problem I had was the water pump went out at 80k miles and took the timing belt with it. My wife started driving the kids around in this car and made me drive her new Jeep Grand Cherokee. She figured I was insured for more.

  Love my old Camry - 1998 Toyota Camry
  By Ellen - December 1 - 3:13 am

  I have been looking for a new car for almost a year now, and cant justify getting rid of my 1998 camry. I really love it. I know with all the miles I have on it, I will need to do something. Major thing was cat- converter and that was just recently. The V6 is quiet and drives great. Mileage is fine. Never though I would keep this car for 12 years and not want to get rid of it after 12 years.

  220K miles and still going - 1998 Toyota Camry
  By vdave - June 25 - 8:26 am

  220k miles and still going....amazing car. Only thing I have done is regular maintenance. Want to buy a new car but cannot justify it given that this one is in such a great condition.

  Love it! - 1998 Toyota Camry
  By Emmy - June 11 - 5:46 am

  I bought this about 4 weeks ago and I can honestly say that I am so lucky to have gotten this for my first car. The ride is super smooth and the seats are very comfortable. I love that you can raise the seat up higher if you need to. For an 11 year old car, it still runs and looks brand new. The paint isnt faded at all. My only complaint is that the air conditioner makes a whistling noise on the higher settings... its strange. Gets cold fast though, which is all that matters. The stereo sounds great too; I got a cassette adapter for my ipod, and it works perfectly.

  dont settle for 4 cyl or softness - 1998 Toyota Camry
  By thegman - March 25 - 10:00 am

  I needed a car with good gas mileage,is reliable and less than 10k. I prefer cars with some personality and some performance. I installed a set of progressive lowering springs (about 1.2 inches) What a difference and with little compromise to ride quality. Threw in a K&N filter. Well worth 30 some bucks for a couple hp, cooler growl from the motor and improved throttle response. Upgrade to some 215/55/16 all season tires and this car is now looks better handles and brakes better and sounds better on throttle. All for about $1500 bucks. TRD offers a supercharger for about $3500 installed. This car now becomes fast!

  Real Great Trouble-free Camry!!!! - 1998 Toyota Camry
  By koop - February 28 - 10:00 am

  Only trouble I had was the need to replace original battery at 19,000 miles in May 2003. This car was stored for over 3 years as we had 90 Camry before selling it in Oct 2001 at 145K miles. The 98 is very smooth.

  overall great car - 1998 Toyota Camry
  By AAC - February 16 - 3:56 am

  Have put over 120000 miles. Starter replaced at 90000 other than that only maintenance items have been done very reliable. Still very quiet and comfortable, interior still nice except where the power window switches on both fornt door panels are seperating. Although not as nice in style, its a way better car than our same year (98) Honda Accord that required several repairs, next time sticking with Toyota.

  Like a Rock - 1998 Toyota Camry
  By GW - February 4 - 12:30 am

  After 109,000 miles, our Camry has lived up to the stereotypical reputation - a flawlessly reliable car. Basically, nothing has ever gone wrong. Well, the interior dome light didnt work when I first picked up the car - and I was too lazy to bring it back - so 7.5 years later it still doesnt work - my fault! The engine has developed a slight rattling sound, nothing to complain about, and understandable at 109K. The car still looks great, paint is still sharp. OK, one other thing, the rear seat drinkholder is flimsy and my kids broke it off pretty easily. Bottom line: Best $18,350 I have ever spent. What a great car - a no-brainer.

  still going strong - 1998 Toyota Camry
  By KunkyMonkey - January 2 - 4:30 am

  Had been a truck person my whole life but took a new job with a lot of miles on the road and couldnt handle to cost of gas with my pickup. I bought this car with 60k on it and have it up too 209k now. Motor and trans run super strong and I get about 35 mpg on the freeway. Very reliable and drive about 5-600 miles a week on it. I change the oil regularly with ease and havent had one problem with the motor. Only problem is the driver door handle on the inside broke and have to roll down the window to open the door from the outside. Also replaced the rear struts at 190k but did it myself with ease. I highly recommend this car to anyone that wants a great car with great mpg
