1999 Toyotat Camry, Great Car!

I have owned the car since it was new in 1998. It has been the most dependable car that I have ever owned. It has never broken down and left me stranded, ever. I make sure the car receives its regular maintenance and replace the belts and tires as needed. The ergonomics of the interior are great with all controls easy to reach. With the V6, I can still manage to get 30 MPG on the highway. All around a great car.

We got it as a used rental car in late 1999 and have driven it to death ever since. It now has almost 150000 miles and we've never had a big problem. We change oil regularly. Only repairs were the right window motor and we did all the belts etc. My husband drives it daily around 50-60 miles. We will drive it til it drops.

OLD PERSONS CAR, AND I LOVE IT

1999 CAMRY XLE 2.2L in bogus green... BUT aside from being an ugly 4-door sedan in very good condition, it runs and drives superbly. I purchased it in November of 2018 with 81K and 9 months later, I hit 100K, so I drive a fair amount... but it's 99% highway driving. I avoid traffic jams like the plague and mostly drive on cruise control. The car and all its systems run perfectly. I installed new struts and springs all around along with good tires. I also installed an excellent remote starter that will start my car way before you can even see it. Lastly, I installed a Kenwood Bluetooth radio with backup camera and full LED lighting in and out. The car gets about 29mpg when I drive mostly on cruise. I couldn't be happier with it and its performance. It drives smooooth on the highway. Here's are the only negatives I can think of; After using Amazon Basics Synthetic 5W/30 oil, the engine began starting up with a puff of smoke and using 1/2 a qt. between changes, so I switched to Penzoil Platinum Synthetic 5W/30. It still has a small puff of smoke at start up, but it totally stopped using oil in between changes. The puff of smoke is most likely due to a leaky fuel injector or a worn valve seal, or maybe a gummed up oil ring, but I doubt it. Lastly, with the new suspension I installed, the car stopped sagging so I could get over the hump at the end of my driveway. ***Be aware that many manufacturers of suspensions "quick struts" (strut and spring that are factory assembled) assemblies that say they also fit the Toyota Avalon of the same year. Well, the Avalon is 300lbs heavier in the rear so when installed on the Camry, the rear end sits extra high. This happened with the Sensen quick struts I installed, but is not true with better quality suspension companies like KYB who make struts specifically to fit each vehicle. Many of the Asian-made and eBay quick/fast struts are more like "one strut fits all". In my case, this extra height was a good thing to help get over the bump at the end of my driveway. And while I'm talkin' struts, I will say the Sensen Struts also do not like temperatures under 35º as they turn rock hard. This can seriously damage your front end. Be Careful when chosing your struts ans springs!!!

This is the best car I have ever owned. Never have had any mechanical issues. My Camry just keeps going, never going to die. The paint/clear coat is peeling badly. Alas it is time to say goodbye. It will cost more to smog with repairs than car is worth.
