I am a toyota owner.
2002 Camry LE 4banger 5spd Bought it in 2008 with forty something thousand miles on the odometer. Why did I buy it over something more interesting? 1. Was planning on buying a motorcycle in 2009 and the purchase of a "family" sedan was the appropriate political choice considering a bunch of other factors (college expenses, wife doing the staying at home thing and other priorities\realities that where buying a GTO or Miata during the same time period of a new motorcycle just wasn't the right thing to do). 2. I wanted a family sedan (with room for tall people and car seats) equiped with a manual transmission. 3. I wanted low miles 4. I wanted something mechanically reliable and easy to work on 5. I set a cap of 10K After seeing countless cars that I wouldn't mind rocking pushing 100K+ miles on the odometer and a HUGE variety of fagomatic equiped cars I found the Camry. It met all the requirements I initially established so I bought it. Its boring but it gets the job done. All it has to do is take me a few miles to the train station\gym every day. Its a station car that will probably be hauling me around for the next 10 years. Its dull Its paid for I have more interesting vehicles in the garage. |
