I have one of those....3 litre v6....change the oil regularly, change the transmission fluid at the proper intervals, as well as the timing belt....no problem...and this is a 1996 Camry, up here in the 'salt belt', and driven all year round. Maintenance is the KEY for ANY car.

[VomBethel]

I had the same year, same vehicle with a V6! That dash looks so familiar. Never had any trouble with the transmission. Before moving, sold it to a relative. She's still using it as her backup car when the kids visit and need to use a vehicle. The inside of the vehicle is in fantastic shape for a 20 year old car! Thank you for bringing back some memories.

My grandma has a 2005 XLE V6 at over 250, 000 miles and the transmission is still smooth as silk. Car runs excellent and hasn't had many issues other than needing suspension replacement. Camrys either V6 or 4 cylinder are extremely sound decisions.

Well i have a 2005 v6 camry and it has 270, 000 kilometres on it and the transmission is smooth as silk, engine runs like a dream, doesnt use oils or fluids, one owner in 17 years, full log books right up till 250, 000 kilometres! The 1mz-fe engines are highly sought after scotty, and they are as reliable as the 4 bangers as long as maintenance is done right!

I had a 2002 Camry bought new like this one with the V6, kept up on the maintenance and never had any transmission problems. I’m not hard on cars, but enjoyed having the extra power and smoothness of the 6 when needed. Sold it after 14 years and 180, 000, just wanted a new one. That ended up being another Camry, also with a V6. It’s a 2016, only complaints: the seats are harder, not as comfortable as the 2002, and the audio system lacks bass, the one in the 2002 sounded much better (it had an external factory amp) under the passenger seat that made a big difference.

[johnpflug]

Sounds like the current owner didn't change the transmission fluid & filter after purchasing the car with 60k on it. And with spending $20k in repairs & maintenance, it sounds like he was ripped off by several mechanics along the

[Modeltrainscarsstereos]

That 2.4 was fine and it had the old 4 speed automatic. Grandpa loved his and so did I.

[kleveshellhorn]

My 2005 Camry with the 4 cyl has 356, 000 miles on it. I change engine oil every 5000 miles and change the trans filter and oil every 60000 miles. It runs like it was brand new

[AutoNaija]

True. Inline 4 Camrys in top shape are not slow at all. 💯

[neonreign]

I have an '04 Camry with the V6 1mzfe engine and it has over 200, 000 miles without any issues (and it has the 5 speed automatic transmission). Don't let it scare you, the AISIN transmissions in the V6 engines are still reliable.

[CoryMaiden]

I own a 2006 Camry and I absolutely love it. I'm not getting rid of it. It runs like new. I have the 4 cylinder XLE and I always change the transmission every 60k. Runs and shifts great.

[SerpentStar_]

Who the hell spends $20k on repairs? That's a new car 🤪💸

[shaunmilor]

I have a 98 camry 1mz-fe v6 with a manual trans. over 336k on this car and it still runs great and has been one of the best cars Ive owned besides my 84&85 22r & 22re 4runners and my 96&03 5vzfe v6 supercharged tacomas

bought a 97 celica with the 2.2 4 banger for $1200. transmission fluid was black but shifted OK. changed fluid and filter and still shifts fine. kept the old fluid just in case.

[ALAPINO]

Seems that there were a few instances where this owner has been taken advantage of.

[arguz]

Scotty I followed your advice, AKIBONO are expensive but is worth the price, no noise, smooth stop and light dust after 6 months or so…👍

I make a point of NOT using my brakes. I anticipate stops and allow my engine to do most of my braking. I live above 5, 000 ft on a mountain and smell other people's burning brakes while I use my gears
