Default Do you own a 2001 Toyota Camry LE?

Do you own a 2001 Toyota Camry LE? I was just wondering. I am still currently saving up money. My old car is nearly ready to die. It's a 1995 Buick Riviera. I can name 19 different problems that are wrong (or were) wrong with it in the past 2 years.































I'm 19. I am lookin to buy a 2001 Toyota Camry LE in a few months. I read they go for around $7,000 today.































If you have one, tell me if it still works right and everything works in excellent condition like it was brand new. Or, tell me if you've had any problems with it.































Right now, i'm kind of afraid 2001 may be too old for me to get, and I say to myself that I could go a couple years newer, like 2003 or 2004.































Unfortunately I think 2003 and newer may be way out of my price range.































Do you think 2001 is kinda old for a Camry for me, or do 2001 Camrys still have a big bunch of life left in them. My personal rule is that it's time to put up my first considerations for buying a new car when the old one is in it's teenage years.































Do you guys think an '01 Camry LE still has plenty of life left, or are they starting to show their age. They are gonna be 8 years old next year. I personally think I could get at least 5 more years out of one, but I'm not sure.































I was just looking for opinions of '01 Camry owners and what they have to say.

i have a 2001 camry . great on gas. I love it. you could go look at previously leased cars & maybe get a newer one. the only complaint i have is my family is tall & so they are not as comfortable as i am. i am 5'2". but i love the way it handles. no major problems to report. i did buy it used & have had to replace the brakes this year. but make sure you have the oil changed every 5,000 miles or less. long as you change the oil i have hear they run for-ever. You know how you spell camry "my car" ha-ha. i have had it since 2004.

I own a 2001 Camry LE.















It is a great car. It is wise to buy one,if you can find one.















I have 85,000 miles on mine. Never fails me.















I had to take it to the dealer to get it tuned up. It cost a lot.Next time i will take it to a independent mechanic ,its cheaper.















Other than that, it is very dependent. And gas mileage is great,about 30.















But no car runs forever,All the rubber has to be replaced eventually.















And battery and brakes.















Good Luck

I don't own one but i am a toyota tech and i can tell you their great, obviously every car will have its problems, but you wanna get a car that has less likely those problems, which is the toyota camry. Ive seen many with leaks and strut and spring problems exhaust leaks and everything because people don't take care of them, and they are still running strong. But if you do what the dealer recommends then youll be fine. If your tight on money you can go to the dealership for possibly just an oil change and find a tech that does side work and could do it for alot cheaper then the dealer does. Good luck if you get the car.

Both the 4-cylinder and V6 2001 Toyota Camry have Consumer Reports' Much-Better-Than-Average Reliability Verdicts. For contrast, there is not one Buick in any model year from 1998 to 2007 that has a Much-Better-Than-Average Reliability Verdict.































Also:































1. The Reliability Percentrank of the 2001 4-cylinder Toyota Camry is .96, on a scale of 0.00 to 1.00, and the Reliability Percentrank of the 2001 V6 Toyota Camry is .89. For reference, Toyota's overall 2001 Reliability Percentrank average is .91, Honda's is .88, and General Motors' is .32.































2. AutoOnInfo.net's detailed reliability and durability studies suggest that a typical 14-year-old Toyota vehicle is about as troublesome to own as a typical 3-year-old Buick.































3. Toyota dominates nearly all of AutoOnInfo.net's durability measures.































Finally, my friend's daughter drives a 1993 Toyota Camry that serves her perfectly fine.
