    STILL DRIVING MY 1996 Camry V6 LE and it's April, 2025.

    STILL DRIVING MY 1996 Camry V6 LE and it's April, 2025. I am in love with this engine! Also love the visibility and comfort of the ride. While the exterior shows its age, the interior is like new. I have 133,000 miles on it. My question is, because it does not have all the safety features of today, including more than 2 air bags--one for driver and one for front passenger--is it still OK to drive and feel safe?

    They DO NOT die

    This car is something else. Mine has 246,000 miles on it and runs like a champ. Of course there’s been front end work and tune ups along the way but man this car has pushed itself to the limit and does not die. Speakers are stock till this day and they sound amazing. Amazing car and well worth the price

    Best car in years

    It's the best car I've owned in over 10 years. I purchased the car 4 months ago with a "Bad Battery" for $600. I jumped it, drove it home and put the battery on charge for a few hours. Changed the oil while I was doing that and nothing has went wrong since. Car was parked for 9 years and all that was wrong was a dead battery?? Do that to any other car and it'll never run again. This car has shocked me to my core. I am a Toyota fan for life!!!

    1st Camry I owned 5speed Manuel, loved that car.

    96 LE, let my daughter have it when she graduated high school. That was 20 yrs ago, I still miss that car. I’ve looked for one ever since. She didn’t know what she had, she misses it as much as I do. I’ve owed 5 Camrys since but that 1st one was the dream one.

    140000 miles and runs like new . Amazing 24 years.

    My Camry is 24 year old car I would drive across country anytime. Never breaks down . Good handling,ride and comfort. Live in New England and only has minor rust. Most other cars from that year are long gone. Also great gas mileage and performance( 4cyl). Only paid $1500.oo for it.

    THE BEST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED!!!

    This car meets all of my needs and it looks good. So many people have asked to buy it. Last year I had it repainted! It looks as if just rolled of the Assembly line. I only have 169000 miles on it!!

    Very reliable car.

    This car has been passed through 3 members of our family and has been extremely reliable. Even though it is over 20 years old, we continue to keep it because it is very dependable. We are the second car owners.
