What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Toyota Camry

"Best used vehicle ever"

"This vehicle has been the most reliable car I've owned . Mine has the 2.2 L engine . It might not win any races but It's definitely not what I'd call slow . This car also rides great and the seats are very comfortable . The trunk is a good size . It will hold a push lawn mower . Some say the design of this car is a little boring but throw a set of custom rims on it and tint the windows and it really makes the car look nice. If you find one for sale and it looks like its been taken care of you should buy it on the spot ."

"It's a Camry. nuf said."

"These cars run foooooreeevvvver. They run so long you get sick of driving them. Almost never wears out. A car 19 years old that gets 35 plus miles to the gallon. If you can deal with accually driving a Camry instead of some "Cool" ride, this car is defantly best dollar value out there. Very undervalued. I recently drove from Houston to Portland, 2600 miles with gas north of $3 bucks a gallon. I did it in 3 days and for less than $400 bucks. The car never gave a moments trouble even after 14 hours staight driving. A great and very comfortable road car."

"Reliability personified"

"In the 22 years I owned this car not a bit of trouble. Of course, I did follow all the maintenance suggestions and had a reliable garage."
