Quote:In 1999 I bought a used Ford (only had 10k miles) and drove it for 6 years. The last year it had issues with the transmission and starter.

 

Bought a Camry new in 2005 and have drove it since. My employer gets a corporate rate through Toyota and I paid about 22k for a car that retailed for 30k. I have about 130k miles on it. Just routine maintenance is all I have had to put into it. I could not recommend Toyota enough.

 

Toyota best car they mad from 90's well into 2007/2008 don't know enough about these post 09 versions yet. I drove a 2002 Camry for 300k+ miles and sold it running in solid condition, only problem I ever had was at about 200k the transmission had to be replaced. Some of that was just neglect from the previous owner that eventually took it's toll on the tranny.

 

Without out a doubt 2000-2006 Camry one of the most reliable cars they've built in a looooonnnnggg time.
