Kouzie had one that was modified, he may give some more input.


My mom had a 94 XLE V6 until about a week ago. She owned it for over 5 years with very little issues, from 160k-250k. The V6 doesn't get very good gas mileage, only about 18/23... which is the same MPG you could achieve in a diesel truck. The 4 cylinder is a little better on gas, but I don't know about real world mpg.

I'd look for a coupe if I were you. It's less common, sporty looking, and not the bland boring Camry most people have.

I saw a 5 speed Camry coupe in the junkyard a few months ago. It was sad.

Those Camrys are decent cars. It was around that time that Toyota's reputation moved from "cheap, reliable cars" to "nice reliable cars".

The camery came in a two door version? that's a new one to me because i have only seen sedans everywhere.

It was very uncommon. The Solara ended up being the replacement for the Camry coupe.



From the looks of things, we may be seeing a new Camry coupe in 2012!

Only if its a 6cyl. I drove a 4cyl around and it was super slow but the v6 can kinda dip.

They don't really push like a Honda, but if you just want an easy-driving comfortable car, go for it. If you go with a four banger you'll get pretty good gas mileage, too.

Are you in need of a car? If so, grab it. If it's mechanically sound, and not rusting out from under you, it's a good deal. If you don't need a car, and can afford to wait (or spend more for something better) do it.

If you're just picking one up to play with, 50/50 you're gonna flip it in a year or two if not sooner.

wait huh? what do you mean?

wait huh? what do you mean?

Flip it = buy and sell for a (potential) profit.

That's the general definition, anyway.

[CBro7]

Simply, you're probably not going to keep it very long.

a 92 camry is only worth 1700.
If you are going to spend that much find another accord.
Maybe a se.
