...even though I replaced it with a 2017 Lexus LS460. This was the last of the ultra-reliable Toyotas. After this the defects began to grow exponentially with minor inconveniences to engine recalls. On the topic of such, I got my 2002 V6, in 2004. It had 66,000 miles, and cost $15,000. In all that time the car's paid for itself many times over, simply in reliable service and not having any catastrophic repairs, (as frequently happens on other, less cars). I over-maintained this car, as I do to all cars I own, (oil 3 mon/3000, coolant change once a year, ATF drain and refill every 20,000 to 30,000 miles etc.) so for that reason at 204K miles it drives better and is in better shape than most other cars with half the mileage. Original engine, original trans, just a timing belt every 90,000 miles plus a couple of starters and water pumps along the way. Reliability-wise cars don't get much better than this. If forced to somehow, I would not hesitate to buy a Camry with 100,000 miles before I'd buy a brand new anything else.

I bought the car from someone at 114k miles in 2013, now 2016 I have 258k. I've not had any major issues with the car, the most is getting a new radiator about a year and a half ago. It's currently burning oil, but it's a 2002 and I drive a lot.

To SNP Camry..The vibration on your new car comes from the way the tires are mounted. As you may know, toyota does not install good tires on its cars. My suggestion, take your car to the nearest dealer and ask the technician to dismount the tires. By doing so, they will be able to match the two marks, inside the tire and the other being on the rim. In light of that, the technician should consider doing a dynamic balance on the wheels and should not experience any problems thereafter.
satisfied, but would consider others, too

I got what I expected, reliability. I do not think the brakes are as good as my 1992 Camry. Front seats are not deep enough. Head rests do not fit a short person! Some plastic interior pieces are cheap. I like not having to have headlights on.
Take Notes GM

I bought the car with 80k on it and I have 107k miles on it now after just over a year. Had no problems. Ive done only standard maintenance (oil change, tires, etc) and changed the front brake pads. It's my 2nd Toyota car after a long line of GM failure cars that I purchased. GM Take note, this is how you get customers, if you build a reliable vehicle, they will come. If you're looking for a fun car to drive you will not get it with this car. It has no bells and whistles. You get 100% reliability and that is it.
