One owner with low miles

I bought my black SLE V6 coupe new in '99. It was going to be my sunny summer Sunday car and that's just what it has been. After over 23 years I have only replaced an EGR valve and an O2 sensor. That's nothing to brag about really since it only has 38k miles. It is on it's second set of tires and second battery. I special ordered it from Canada with every option but a sunroof. I struggled to pay the $23k back then but I made it. It has been in my basement most of the time so it still looks showroom new. The paint has never needed waxing. I have owned 42 vehicles over the last 56 years and this one has been one of my favorites. The oldest car that I have owned was a '41 Ford. They newest is a '19 Outback. I have owned all kinds, but have had the best service out of Hondas and Toyotas (including Lexus).

Desirable and reliable

Toyota is a brand everyone knows. This car reminds me more when their product was solid, strong and meant to last, with the most basic of care.

Great car, very resistant and durable.

This car is all we needed. I never thought of something that should be in a different or better way. I did little repairs but never a mayor repair.

Long lasting and one of the best we have owned

This car was bought new in 1999 for commuting and then about 2007 it was used by my oldest son and then the youngest until he was out of college. I have been driving for 3 years now again and have 236,000 miles on car. Love it and have minimal issues with any system on car. 3.0 liter manual

Most Reliable car I have ever owned

Bought an SE V6 5speed manual used with 180,000 miles for $2000 I got 250,000 on the original clutch. Still runs like new. No issues. So glad I bought the V6. Plenty of power. Great for road trips. Plenty of trunk space. Decent space for rear passengers. By far the most practical coupe I have ever owned.
