Explore the 1994 Toyota Camry

Running smooth as silk after a quarter century!

I bought my 1994 Camry LE in 1996 from a dealer in Bremerton, Washington when I was in the Navy. After I retired in 2000, I gave it to my mother in Kansas as my new company gave me a car for work and pleasure. My mother drove the car for the next 20 years until her passing when it came back to me. After replacing a few of the more worn parts I put it back into full service and she is running as good as the day I bought her 26 years ago. She only has 160K miles on her and drives smooth as butter. She will probably outlast me too!!

Camry & ?

I bought my Camry from a friend well over 200k miles the odometer stuck at about 271k I set mileage and oops lol started up now I’m at 272097. I love this car. I have not had 1 problem. I keep the tires up, change the oil every 3 months ( I know I know) my son says nooooo. But I do. Sometimes lately it smells really hot, but no visible leaks drips,?. Should I flush the radiator or leave it alone??

Most Reliable Car I've Owned

If you are looking for a reliable vehicle to get you from point A to point B with good gas mileage, look no further. I bought my Camry used 2 years ago with 180,000mi and I now have 240,000 miles on it and shes still running like a top. Would highly recommend to pretty much anyone.

Best car I've ever owned. Reliable. Sporty. XLE V6

Bought it @150k, super clean from original owner, now has 250k miles. A fantastic car. Essentially it's a Lexus with Toyota badges. I think it looks great (in black or green), a sleeper sports sedan. Won't win any races but very adequate to get up and go and keeps up. I've noticed no drop off in engine performance but transmission has dropped overdrive and 2nd gears. I read that there are shift solenoids in trans but have to pull the pan to get at them. No shop would confirm that (??) Was getting 25-30 mpg, now getting 20-25. The ONLY repairs needed other than routine maintenance have been computer/"brain" and instrument cluster @ 200k (both used and no problems since). Check engine light started cycling @ 220k and now stays on. Pro/factory trained mechanic says "just keep driving it." I want to drive it til the wheels come off! Find a good one if you can and you should have a bulletproof low maintenance/low cost ride.

Always reliable!

The car was great for a first car. Bought it used with 235,000 miles. Still running with 269,995 miles. Probably good for another 20,000 miles! Change the oil regularly and this car is built to last

Most reliable car I've owned.

At 259000 it's still my main go to car. Powers getting a Lil sluggish and check engine just came on for first time since I had it so it might just be a sensor I hope. No complaints here.

I love my "mommy car".

1994 Camry wagon with 267,000 miles on it. We drove it from Colorado to Washington state last summer. Had a small problem with a broken part in the brake system due to wear and tear but it was very comfortable for 4 adults and it pulled a utility trailer. She gets 28 mpg around town. Yes, the antenna drive has been replaced several times and yes, the plastic door handles have also been replaced but I will drive this car forever or a million miles. Also handles our local mountains well.

Toyota reliability

This car was made to last, just amazing that it's a 23 year old car and it runs as well if not better than most current newer cars today! Super smooth power from V6 and the seats match in feel and comfort!
