This is a car you just always hold onto and never ever get rid of until it dies. Have a 99 with 700k miles , still purs like a kitten

Toyota’s 2.2L is simply marvelous. I have a 1998 Camry with almost 300,000 miles on it. All I have ever done to this car is very basic maintenance. Regular oil changes, new air filters, tires, etc. well about a week ago, I went to turn the key and nothing! What the...??? My precious baby never does this, so I ran through a mental checklist of everything that could be wrong. After 10 or so minutes of checking the basic stuff, I did a Google search and discovered the Camry has an anti-theft system built into the switch where I turn my key. Long story short, I discovered the car was not starting for me because the teeth on my 24-year-old OEM key were so worn out that the car thought I was trying to steal it 😂 Thankfully, I had my spare key (with excellent teeth) tucked away under the chassis. I put the spare key with new teeth into the ignition and turned the key and she started up just like always! I will always buy Toyota because of that experience.

Owner of a 2001 Corolla with 300,000 miles. The most glorious thing is being able to do an oil and filter change without even jacking the car up.

I have a 2001 V6 Gallery Series with only 125,000 miles on it. I have recently been thinking it was too old and have been craving a newer car, but after this video, I value it more. It is in good condition, never needs repairs, so I'm going to keep driving it. Thank you so much!

I inherited a 2000 Camry XLE V6 antique seige pearl (same color as the one in your video?) that my brother gave me. He said it was an old man's car. His loss! My father bought this car in 2009 and then it went to my mother when my father passed away in 2016. It then went to my brother and now to me. It will likely go to our son next. I did all the maintenance on it since it joined our family. Changed the VSV for the pressure sensor (like you showed, there is a service bulletin for this. It had the 3 codes for this problem). The driver's side leather seat has some tearing like the car in your video. When I got it in 2019, it needed a bit of TLC. Timing belt, power steering high pressure and return lines, rear brake lines, an ABS sensor. Changed the aftermarket cat with another aftermarket cat as the old one really stank. A front right brake caliper, new rotors and pads, left rear parking brake cable, parking brake shoes and few other minor things. Currently has 147,000 miles. Very little rust (some on upper roof at the windshield). It was oil sprayed several times when my dad had it (Toronto, ON). Put about a $1000 (USD) into it as I did everything myself. People are surprised at how good it looks for being 22 years old. i do not drive it in the winter. My father said that it was the best car he ever owned. It uses no oil btw, but does have the valve cover gasket leaks. Original alternator and starter. Fuel pump was replaced in 2016. It just died. Lastly, was at the wreckers last Friday and saw the same Camry. Same engine. It really bothered me to see this car as it was in pristine condition. No rust, no scratches, no dings. Even the original floor mats were barely worn. I bought them for my car. I do not know the story behind this car but it did not deserve to be there. I closed the trunk lid to keep water out of it. Felt bad for it. I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work! I see why you like this car so much!

I have a medieval Corolla, my dream is to get my hands on an ancient Camry like this!

I had a '93 Camry that I sold after 150k miles. I replaced it with a new 2004 Rav4 and regretted selling the Camry the minute I drove the Rav on the highway. Gone was the ultra quiet, ultra comfortable Camry. I still have the Rav4. It is utilitarian and has has served me quite well, but I do regret having sold the Camry then.

This is THE ONE. We count these on the roads every day when we see them. I still have times where I’ll see many at a time. Great cars. I miss mine.

I bought Camry SXV20 2.2 way back in April 2001. Today, April 2024, it has completed 23 years and clocked 450K kms. Still my favourite car. Most parts, except for the usual consumables, are still factory fitted. Never let me down except once when it had to be towed due to rats gnawing on the underneath wires. I also own a ACV40 2.4V and ACV50 2.5G. But SXV20 is still my favorite. The most reliable car ever built.

At 10:40 ... You are a VERY rare mechanic that takes care and has pride in his work. It is also why most of us here work on our own cars and follow your channel. Thank you for the amazing videos ☆☆☆☆☆

Camry is the greatest car ever made for reliability & longevity! My father-in law's 1996 Camry XLE V6 has 528K miles & it still runs great. Of course, garage kept makes a huge difference, but you just can't beat owning a Camry!

I have a 2001 Camry 5 speed manual since new. It has 437,000 I replaced the motor at about 370,000 with a low mileage motor with less than 60,000 miles I was lucky to find. The transmission is original with no signs of problems. The car still runs great. I changed the oil every three to four thousand miles.The driver's side rocker panel has started to rust. I wish they made replacement panels. Thanks for all the great information you share it is all greatly appreciated.

Our neighbor has one. It stays parked outside but he keeps up on the maintenance and detailing. Still looks great and drives incredibly smooth. 👍 ❤❤❤

I had an Uber driver with an ‘03 Camry Le with over 355K miles and it ran unbelievably smooth.. cold AC.... no wobble, no shakes... these are built solid...sold my ‘00 Sienna earlier his year with over 260K miles.. no issue! Thanks for the great content brother

My wife and I were looking for an extra car back in 2019 and ended up purchasing a 2001 Camry XLE V6 with 90k miles for $4k. We put about $1k into getting all of the general maintenance up to date and it’s easily the best car we’ve ever owned! I use the car daily as a commuter and it’s just amazing. I joke about how my young kids are going to have it as their first car, but to be honest, I don’t think I could ever give it up.. The V6 engine has plenty of power and there’s lots of space in the trunk & backseats. They really don’t make them like they used to.. mileage is currently 135k, really hoping that we can get 350,000+ 🤞🏽

My buddy has a 2000 Camry LE V6 with 155k miles in almost perfect condition (missing a trim piece on a window and slight paint fade under passenger side window) and I’m amazed at how much smoother the ride is than my 2019 Camry SE

In southern California you can find 4 - 5 of these for sale every weekend within a short drive for $2-5k. Finding a gem that hasn't been neglected, trashed or wrecked takes a little work, but isn't all that hard still. Imagine getting a car with under 200k miles, putting $1-2k in parts into it....and driving it for another 200k! Parts are cheap. I see the same thing on my recent 1998 -2005 Toyotas.. original starters, alternators, struts. Most of the time rehab is all fluids, motor mounts, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, brakes and coolant. Makes me so happy.

I am blessed to have two of these wonderful 2001 Camrys. The 2.2 has only 68,000 miles and the 1MZ only 80,000. They were both my parents cars that I inherited when my dad passed and my mom quit driving. My sister in law has the 2.2 and I kept the 1MZ for myself. I do all of the maintenance on both of them myself and you are right AMD they are so easy to work on. Mine will never be for sale!

My dad regrets selling a 1996 Corolla to the junk yard and getting a new car. He bought it for $500. Repaired the issue himself and put another 200k miles over 6-7 years. Got rid of it because oil started getting into engine and was producing smoke. Handles where gone, speedometer was gone, radio was gone, cigarette lighter was gone, but this engine, worked work without missing a beat. Got rid of it at 345k miles and now wished he had paid to replace fix the issue it had.

I love my current 2000 Camry with the lovely 1MZ-FE engine with only 92,000 miles! Smooth as molasses and as mint as from the factory! My first car was also a 2000 Camry for $4,500 and I had the charcoal canister problem you mentioned, but it lasted me 400,000 miles and 8 years!

I loved the 1987 to 1991 model. I kept my 1990 for 23 years, 330, 000 Km. in Canada. It was reliable right till the end. The rust finally made me scrap it. It went to the grave with the original starter, alternator, rad, rear brakes, front struts, muffler and all front end components.

The 2002-06 Camrys are just as good. They share the same chassis as the Lexus ES 300 and share the same leather seats and some components. I own a 2005 Camry & it's well north of 350,000 kms and runs smooth & feels solid. Toronto, Canada

Hello, I'm from Poland. I watch your films a lot. today it is my 3rd toyota. now i have a CHR 1.8 hybrid. I love it not only for its savings. earlier I also bought a toyota Auris 1.4 petrol from the showroom. poor electricity, good engine for the city. but the oldest was my biggest love toyota Camry 2.2 2ZFE the last production for Europe 2010 year. The best car I've ever had and will. such cars will not be produced anymore. Pampered in every inch and aspect. everything there was designed from real materials, not from recycled crap. the plastics were soft rubbers that could not be scratched. I had it for 10 years, no rust, no problems with the engine. BEST, best regards from Poland

I should've pulled the trigger on a 2001 Toyota Camry Gallery Series 10 years ago. I regret it ever since

I used to valet cars at a ski resort in Maine for a couple of seasons, and a guest had a same year Camry. I remember this because the ride was so comfortable, even though I just park the car, is just one of those things that stuck with me. The next year, the same guy came but with a bmw I think, but I told him that I remember him because of the plush and comfy ride of the Camry. That was the only time I said that to anyone. I don't know if it was the way I said that to him, but he responded that he already change the car or something, but I just wanted to let him know that of all the cars I parked, which included all makes and models, his Camry was really comfy, just like a Lexus, just like AMD said.

Toyota put out some of their best vehicles in the late 90s to early 2000s. Cars, trucks, and SUVs. In that period they had 4, 6, and 8 cylinder engines that would be near the top of the list for reliability and ease of ownership. You see tons and tons of them being daily driven today with 300k miles and the engine & transmission have never been opened up.

those Older Camry's were tanks. My buddy had a 94 2 door. Like being young and stupid. In the early to mid 2000. I cant remember but our early 20's. We were in a bad storm driving like idiots in big puddles. We went too deep and hydro locked the motor. After we towed it back and he drained everything and replaced the oil. It had a slight bent valve I believe and mad a bit of a racket running but that thing ran for like another 5years or so.

Oh the regret of selling my 1997 LE! At the time I was Service & Parts Mgr at a Lincoln-Mercury store and in the 2000 model year, when the Lincoln LS was introduced, I just had to have one. Ford's answer to BMW, I thought. It was great to drive; it was recalled within days, and things went south from there. And they got worse up to about 2006 when things got better. Traded mine for a new 2002 Highlander and have had nothing but Toyotas/Lexus ever since! The Camry had triple door seals and was perfect in every way. We live and learn.......

Happy to say that I can’t think of any car I regret selling. Very happy with the current ones. Love your work 👍

Thank you so much for doing a video on the older Camrys! I still daily drive a 1997 XLE 3.0 V6 with 169K and it drives like a new car. I wash it religiously to keep the rust away here in MN. I LOVE this car, its bulletproof and I do all my own maintenance. I love the channel, hopefully more videos on the older models, keep em coming!

Still own an 18 year old 2005 Camry LE. Over 350,000 kms & runs like a champ. Leather interior is so thick and plush. Switchgear, especially HVAC knobs and signal stalks are so solid with tactile feedback. Also has a cavernous trunk. The 2002-06 Camrys were so good.

This is why I'm still driving my 2001 Toyota Sienna with 446,000 miles with the original drivetrain. Solid, no rattles no cracks on the dash no worn fabric seats.. A few upgrades like reverse camera , head up display and quality audio makes the driving experience more up to date. My best advice is to change the oil more frequently. Dirty oil and oil dilution is can be engine killers

I have a 99 XLE 5S-FE 4 cyl with that same beautiful leather interior. Best car I've ever owned. Mine's a highway cruiser that drives 400 miles / wk and gets 27-29MPG at 75MPH all day long. I do all minor to mid-level maintenance myself( using The Car Care Nut videos as reference) and usually use Toyota parts when/if available. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP OVER THE YEARS!

One of the best Toyotas ever made! I had a 2002 with that same engine and I put 255k miles on it before I sold it. And it was still going strong!!!

I love your videos. I grew up around Toyotas. Also, I now work on cars as a hobby and rarely do I come across top tier mechanics. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. 5 stars!!!

I love it and agree on spotting shoddy work by mechanics....so many don't take pride in their work, anymore. My Dad taught his boys, "If your going to do something, do it right!" I notice SO many older Camry's and T-100's still out there doing what they do best....RUN!! :-)

Good to see vids on the golden oldies.

Amazing video! As always, you never disappoint I love these cars too. I have a 1999 Toyota Camry LE 4 cylinder with sunroof, ABS, alloy wheels, rear spoiler, mudguards... every option except leather . I even have the dealer optioned Eclipse AVN-20D GPS stereo. These were sold through Toyota dealers in response to the (new for 1998) Honda Accord offering a factory navigation option, while the Camry didn't. Anyway, it's the two-tone Pearl White Lexus color paint scheme. I have 298k miles on it and the car still runs strong and drives smoothly and very quiet. It's a daily driver, but a nice one. The cloth seats and interior panels look amazing. I'm hoping to drive it past 500k miles, God-willing. By the way, that upper compartment for the garage door opener is a sunglass holder on lesser models. The garage door opener holder, power passenger seat, and illuminated vanity mirrors are XLE-only features.

The information you delivered was well filtered and well delivered. I was captivated from the beginning because of that. I'm looking to buy a 1999 Camry tomorrow and this really set my mind properly. I appreciate you sharing your insight and expertise.

I was fortunate enough to own one of these. One of the best cars.

2000-2001 are my favorite Camry model years. Subtle styling refresh. Hubcaps didn't look terrible.

My 99 Camry 4cyl is so quiet and still smooth too at 336k miles! Two important tips, don't use an aftermarket IAC (idle air control valve). I used two of them over a few years and they both gave me an annoying rough idle and not very good idle speed control, that I lived with for years because I couldn't figure out what was causing it, just said well it's got very high miles! Can't expect it to be perfect... Luckily I kept the original IAC for years in a box of old parts. I serviced the original, (cleaned it, lubed it really well) out of suspicion and frustration. Put it back in with a new rubber O ring seal and idle is perfect again cold or hot! That plus also doing a new fuel pump (3rd pump replacement), 2nd pump was getting a little odd, new fuel filter (black liquid came out of the inlet) serviced and flow tested replacement injectors. That made it go from slow, sluggish feeling and white ash build up on the spark plugs. To even more smooth and power back to as it was new. Now it's quick to get up and go considering it's only like 120hp. Also the car is so quiet on the road (amazing because it doesn't have much insulation at all!). But be wise and use quiet tires so you don't hear tire noise! I use General Altimax tires and love them for almost NO noise, very smooth, comfortable, low cost and not Chinese crap...

I purchased a 1998 Camry le 3.0 v6 with 26k original miles 1 owner,Southern California granny Annie owned!❤I sold my ls400 that was totaled 🥲.I miss her but I found a unicorn

I purchased a 1999 Camry XLE 3.0L V6 from a retired teacher with low miles, really low miles. As I write this on 9/23/23 it has 42K original miles!! All repair documentation in hand. Exact same color as the one in the video with like new leather seats. No rust or dings. It is now a daily driver for my wife and is truly the best riding vehicle. Floats down the highway like a new modern luxury car. Only issue is it needed to get the brakes lines fixed and typical wear and tear along with a set of tires. Gets an oil change every 4K miles as my wife doesn't drive long distances on a regular basis. Besides a couple lamps that needed to be replaced it is the perfect car. Not looking to sell it any time soon, lol.

i could've made this video, what a perfect recommendation lol. i have a 2000 Camry CE I bought with 222k for $3,600. fixed a few things like the dash clock and the driver's side door wiring so my rear window would work. one owner, absolutely flawless inside and out, not even rusty like this example which is surprising because we use salt here as well. this generation is absolutely the best, imo not just because of the lexus-esq feel but it's also my favorite design. ty for the info and also for making me feel a little less crazy about being so proud of this car.

I traded my 2000 Camry XLE V6 in for a 2011 Venza XLE V6. I really like driving the Venza, but I have to admit, that 181 horsepower V6 engine that was in that Camry had a particular growl when you would punch it that was just so satisfying. I'm convinced that that car would have kept running forever. It had almost 200,000 miles on it when I traded it in.

I admire the way that you are a perfectionist with the coolant hoses and the use of the constant tension clamps as was installed at the factory!

Watching these is very informative. And inspiring. But also scary. You point out so many things that could go wrong....

Hey Ahmed, I've been watching your channel for quite some time now and learned quite a few things from you. I consider myself a Toyota fan as well and been comfortable and familiar working on them. About those radiator hoses, usually when you install new hoses and use those worm gear clamps the new hoses will expand and contract over time and sometimes they back out after a few hundred miles or kilometers or so and so you would need to re-adjust them back to it's original position. It is not the fault of the mechanics/technicians. Some shops tell the customers to come back after some time to get the hoses adjusted back and re-tightened like you did in the video. When I was working at several shops and working on pretty much all cars this is what we used most of the time. The spring clamps from the factory are good, but usually lose tension over time and when you remove them and I guess some shops don't want to order new spring clamps so they just use worm gear clamps instead. Some dealers don't even have the original spring clamps in stock so there's no way to get them sometimes. Good video. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see your new shop up and running. Take care.

I think everybody has a “the Toyota I regret selling” story. For me, it was the 1989 Cressida with the inline 6 Toyota put in the Supra. Straight 6, RWD loaded out with sunroof, automatic, leather. God, I wish I still had it.

This should be the new project car for this channel! These cars are bulletproof

Glad you mentioned the signs of a one owner car, the more and more that I clean my ES a little more and work on it a little more I learn more about the previous owner Pretty confident it sat for a while before being sold

I drive the 2000 version of this car. I've had it since 2010 and the Odometer is at 198,438. I can testify that with good maintenance, this car is a pleasure to drive. Do your maintenance as and when due (using appropriate oils and materials). Attend to faults in a timely manner using appropriate replacement parts. Greetings from Africa (precisely Lagos, Nigeria)

I'm so happy for Toyota owners who will be able to service their cars in new Care Care Nut service. By looking this video I wish more and more to be closer to Chicago. Thank you for nice video.

I get great pleasure seeing a car well taken care of. Thank you for the show & tell

I inherited a 2000 Camry LE 4-cylinder version from my daughter when she moved up to the Mommy-car (Subaru Legacy). We spent a lot of time / money on it when she first got it (new windshield, paint, muffler, rear bumper cover) and then spent some more on it (struts, timing belt, water pump) when she gave it to me (all DIY). Love this car! Rides like a dream. After all those repairs, I spent six months driving it around Texas for work, then back to the snow & rust of Michigan. Now it's back in the my shop for the winter to have a hole in the main frame rail welded up. Can't wait to get started! Thanks for the great video! Love this car!

They don't make them like they used to AMD. Toyota quality and reliability at it's best. Thank you for another honest and through inspection.

I have a 99 ce with 73,000 miles. I had to replace the sway bar end links, rear control arms, struts/ alignment , all fluids, tires and do a tuneup. The car drives amazing! It gets 30 mpg highway and is an eye catcher.

My first car is a 1999 toyota camry 3l v6 Touring and it's in immaculate condition I bought it for $4,500 and it had 80000 ks on it. It's really good to drive I love the car to bits. It never miss a heart beet and it's really reliable

Hello, I’m fond of your vídeos - they’re complete and amusing. Thanks a lot for broadcasting your channel. I’ve got a Prius NGA Top 2017/2017 in Brazil 🇧🇷.

We had a 97 XLE that threw a rod at 58,000 miles. Towed to Toyota dealer from mechanic who found the broken rod. Argued with Toyota for 3 weeks, which finally determined the rod failure was likely due to a manufacturing issue it identified for a 100 vehicles or so. To their credit, Toyota replaced the short block on their dollar.

I bought a 98 camry with the 2.2l engine about a year ago to fix up. I have almost rebuilt the car because it needed to much work. The paint work isnt in great shape, but its not very rusty underneath. Im actually doing a partial rebuild on the transmission right now, but Regardless of the work this thing needed I kinda really like the thing. Parts are readily available and cheap, these things are remarkably easy to work on, and they just keep going and going if you take care of them.

We own 2 of these, we live in Australia and travel long distances. One of our Camrys has been ours for 16 years and the other a little less. The cars are serviced very regularly (every 9000 kms) at the same time by us at home. They are definitely keepers. We love them. We also own another 2003 Camry which is just as reliable. Your videos are so informative and entertaining. God Bless you. John and Christine.

From Adelaide, South Australia - I had a 2001 V6 Camry Touring from 36,000km to 410,000km, and remember telling my mechanic that I didn't need a Lexus, as my Camry was so smooth and quiet. My wife took over the Camry when I bought a 2004 IS200 at 80,000km in 2014. Unfortunately the IS200 was written off in a road crash, so I went back to a 2004 V6 Camry for a few years until I couldn't resist a 2012 GS450h, and the Camry went to my daughter to replace her older Corolla. I think I must have taken notice of my mechanic saying I shouldn't buy any cars other than Toyota products. Thank you AMD for your great knowledge and engaging personality.🚗

I absolutely love my 2001 2.2L Camry. Only one I’ve ever seen that is a 5spd manual. It’s reliable and a blast to drive.

I remember test driving these cars with the family as a kid and we eventually got one. And it’s where I learned a lot of DIY on. I remember being at the Toyota dealer and really analyzing and getting a feel for every square inch of these cars. I remember they weren’t quite as nice as the accord at the time but for some reason I still preferred the Camry. It seemed smoother and more refined. The accord has a nicer interior though with nicer seats. The Camry was plain. This generation Camry felt like tanks back then. The car provided 200,000 trouble free miles then it got its transmission rebuilt shortly after that then shortly after that the engine bay caught on fire. Never learned why. But the car did its job well other than that.

1998 Toyota Camry had 376000 miles on it before a deer totaled it out. Never changed the power steering fluid or brake fluid but transmission, engine and fuel system were serviced regularly. Car was accidentally put into reverse at 65 mph when the car had around 200,000 miles on it. Transmission never gave me any problems! I am a mechanic and if somebody told me that I would tell them that they are not telling the truth. Still hard for me to believe even though I experienced it. I just purchased a 2001 Toyota Camry with all service records done at the same Toyota dealership. It has 176,000 mi on it. I love the way these cars ride and the ergonomics fit me like a glove. The dash is superb with no hard plastic seems to start rattling and cracking. All smooth soft round edges with no seams versus today's hard plastic with square edges and seams that crackle when rubbing against each other. And last but not least, no tracking ability except for the phone you have with you. That is a plus in my book, I do not want a computer on wheels that can be controlled and monitored externally.

My 81 year old grandmother still has her 2001 camry. Has around 120000 miles. She does not drive it much, maybe just to the store in town once a week, I always tell her to get it on the freeway once in awhile. The interior still looks great and it still runs great!

This was my first car, a 1999 XLE V6. I took it for granted in high school - and now I’m in a plasticky, slow-as-hell prius. Sure I save gas, but the material quality is night and day!

Thank you for passing on your knowledge of Toyota. I really appreciate it

We had a 99 Camry all we did was oil changes, front brakes, rear stabilizer, timing belt, O2 Sensor, and battery it still had the original muffler. Still solid no squeaks would not hesitate to take it on a cross country trip. Sold it to a relative in 2015 who still had it last year. Thank you for all you do.

I used to get inside one of these back in the day and would get blown away by how smooth and quiet they were. Was my dream car growing up. Highway cruises were absolutely imperious. I'd jump on the opportunity to own one today.

YES!! Once again, I AGREE! My 97 Camry was the same color! I unfortunately got mine used 7yrs old. Brake, fuel lines backing plates rusted out. Foam door seal drivers side ripped. I drove it daily, was a GREAT car!!! 4cyl in mine. Love/miss it!! I parked it anywhere! I have some nice 16" wheels for sale to replace those 14's. 😁 And YES! Rear crossmember/ fuel filler tube!!! This owner should Super Shield or Fluid Film all that rust!!!! 🤔

Fellow mechanic here - one of my dream cars is the 97-01 Lexus ES300. Based on the 97-01 Camry. The 1MZ-FE 3.0l v6 is one of the all time greatest. Honda/Toyota quality peaked in the late 90s-early 00s

Have recently come across your channel and have been enjoying your videos. I'm a car nut and have enjoyed 'all things cars' most of my life. I am very lucky to own a 1996 300ES my wife and I received when my father-in-law passed away two years after purchasing it. It has been garaged since new and gets careful attention both on the body and mechanics. The mileage just passed 160K, very low for the year, and runs like a top. It has gotten fresh oil every 6 months (or 3K miles) and everything else mechanically needed along the way. The 3.0L V6 DOHC 1MZFE engine is just a gem to drive. But I don't need to tell you that! Anyway, a testament to Toyota and to the long life they can have with good care.

My first car that my parents gave me was a 2000 Camry LE 4 cylinders. At first, I did not like the Camry because is slow and all my friends have Integra and Civic Si. Couple years later I sold it to my father's friend and till this day she still driving it without any issues. Now thinking back, I really regret selling that Camry. That car did not give me any problems, it helps me save a lot of money when I was in college.

Back in the day you could get the V6 with the 5 speed manual. Rare. And then add on a TRD supercharger. Extra rare

Thank you very much for those very valuable videos you give us Toyota fans and loyal owners.

Best video. Great summary and not clickbaity.

Thanks for another super useful video. Looking for a cheap car to last about 2 years. I'll take a close look at this generation camry

I absolutely love the MZ family of engines. I remember my grandmother buying a brand new '94 Camry V6 XLE and I was absolutely astounded at how quiet the engine was. She gave it to me 10 years later when I started to drive. Had I known how to fix cars back then, I would have fixed it up and kept it.

The title of this video is exactly my sentiments. I owned one if these also a V6, amongst many cars including a Lexus GX470, I still consider it the best. Love it!!! That are so so well made.

Million likes for this clip! Very informative, instructive and educational video! 👍

2000 LE 5SFE owner here. It finally died years after I sold it with 240k on the clock After it hit 300k mice ate out the wiring harness. Then a tree fell on it in a storm. They took the engine out and put it in another car.

92 Corolla was the best Yota my family owned but all we have had were good. We never had a Camry- except my 08 Solara if that counts since my insurance calls it Camry Solara.

LOVE your videos !! Always so informative

My son just inherited this car from his great-grandparents. It has a little over 200K miles. They said that they only thing they had replaced was the fuel pump, back in 2006. The car had a check engine light (code 0446) so we are replacing the charcoal canister, but that's it. Thanks for all the maintenance tips!

This was very educational. Thank you. My well-maintained, rust--free '01 4Runner is proving to be difficult to part with (though I wish it rode like a Camry...).

My dad had a 2001 XLE V6. It was fully loaded and I had so many childhood memories in it. Never seen another with same paint, wheel and spoiler option.

Really enjoy your content. Keep 'em coming brotber.

I still drive my 1997 Camry I purchased new in 97 and has given me 25 years of reliable service with only 129,000 miles. I'm going to get a new Camry at the end of the year for all of the safety technology.

I had this car and regret selling it too. While sitting in the cabin you couldn’t tell the engine was running. It was that quiet. The ride was very comfortable and the brakes were very good. Best car I ever had.

Thanks for pointing out the VINs on the panels and bumper... good to know these things if someone is buying used! Esp older cars, and cars maintained by their owners, so it's not in any CarFax or tracking system.

9:55 my mind is blown. I really learned something today!!!! That is a wonderful piece of knowledge.

I agree! My 2000 Camry is now at 334K miles and going strong. I prefer the 4cyl however, because it's incredibly simple to work on when replacing a starter or alternator. I updated the car for $100 by installing an android radio which gives me a 9 inch screen, TPMS, and back up camera.

My favourite Toyota was the Cressida. Inline 6, multi-lunk rear wheel drive.. enough said!

I have a 99 XLE, and an RX300 with the same engine. Love them both. Recently had the suspension redone on the Camry. Unfortunately, about 6 years ago we had a really bad hail storm and it got pretty badly damage because of it. I still love the car though. I've thought about getting it fixed, but it would be expensive to get repaired properly. Otherwise, this car has been amazing. Had it since 2008.

I really enjoy your videos...What a lovely channel. Followed since the white ML320 video, and because you are family friendly, my kids can watch you too. God bless you for the beautiful content , and your obvious high integrity,....Greetings from Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa

Hi AMD, the fixes that you demonstrated in this vehicle showed the importance of taking Toyota to be serviced by Toyota technicians. They would have an eye for what to look for the nuances and what to watch for because they worked on it day in and out. Sure, the dealer will be high price but I think it is worth every penny baring the technician are not lazy and the service advisors are not greedy for up selling.

My biggest regret is selling my 2005 bare bones manual transmission CE Corolla model. Best car I ever owned, had it for 17 years
