Another Camry. Why? Good question...

[Raza]

Raza- I know. As said, it's not my primary. I'm concerned about leaving her with the 92, it's an old car and I keep expecting it to just die, so the car purchased this time needed to be something she'd be comfortable with that I pretty much wouldn't have to worry about. I'll replace that 92 with something more interesting as soon as my personal finances can warrant it. Believe me when I say I've never been more bored/unhappy with the Camry. If you see something especially interesting around the $10k mark, let me know and I'll consider it, but I don't think I should go much higher right now. I have no debt and I'd like to keep it that way.

Intrepid- The 2000 is an LE and nothing exciting. Frankly, I really dislike it. It's the only one without a nice interior, it does at least have a moonroof, but I think the seats are uncomfortable, the dash unattractive, power barely adequate, my list of dislikes goes on. This is the main reason why the 92 is not dissapearing for a newer car yet, I like it much more than that 2000, regardless of age. And yes, I rather liked those clear corners on the 92. I generally dislike white cars, so when I got that one I tried to make it look a little better.

Ten grand!?

That's a shit load of money on the used market.  Damn, a nice Viggen (though with high miles) was just sold for 8K to a member on another forum. 

If you want to talk about it more, we can go to PMs.  But I'd definitely be open to helping you find a replacement.

Yes, it's the 4 cylinder. I'm fine with that though, it has decent power (and more importantly, it feels decent under acceleration... not something I could have said about the previous 4 cylinder engine), and it gets pretty good mileage. Passing power impressed me for what it is, which adds to it being a good highway trip car. I've been taking several of those this summer, so it's worked out just fine.

how about you do a chop with the metal still in place, but just move the emblem down to the grill

That would be silly.

Luckily I saw the thread title, and set my alarm clock for 5 minutes in the future and I was happy I did, nothing like sleeping through the work day.


Can get Viggens for $10k!!

I warned you about the drowsiness. If you read this Camry thread after taking a Tylenol PM, you might never wake up at all.

Oh that's right; they sold/sell the XLE in the States with a 4-cylinder.

Yep. I wouldn't have bought it with the 6 they offered in it in 04 anyway, the 4 cyl is smooth and gets good mileage, with enough power to get the job done, why pay for the 6?

The new 6 on the other hand, I'd take.

The old 6 was dismal. The new 6 is

I personally like that generation of Camry.  It's a decent looking car IMO.

[thewizard16]

Thanks. I'm of course not wild or raving about the car, but it's a very nice car, and good at what it does.

[SaltyDog]

I wouldn't mind a Camry on the highway, but in any other kind of driving I would be frustrated and bored.  Atleast it has leather

Now that you have the reliable daily driver, you need a toy. May I suggest a last gen Mazdaspeed Miata?
