congrats on the steal

should take off the rims or paint them black

That is a good deal. You got cool wheels and it looks like a XLE or SE verstion. Nicely done. Give it a lot of oil changes and call it a day.

That thing is clean. Keep up with routine stuff. My 98 with 225k is starting to be hard to keep up with: oil leaks (oil pan), struts, sway bars, brakes, cv boots, spark plugs. I’ve done all the door handles, seat belts (they stop retracting), a few gaskets, hoses and radiator, but I don’t know if I’ll keep going. It starts to add up if you let things go.

I feel so ripped off. My car was above 10 grand and it’s a shitty 94 HP, slow, boring car with a 5 speed manual transmission. I live in Europe but I feel so ripped off.

Only because people told me to buy a newer car because repairs on a 90s car will be a nightmare, or so they said.

Did you have any expensive bank breaking repairs? I don’t think so, but feel free to tell me.

Do you guys like go up north for these??? Here in Texas that’s worth like $6k (according to some people).

Careful not to dent the bumper ;)

My dad’s was a 1994 and it made it to 330k miles. Keep up with regular maintenance and you’ll get there.

Those 2000s are epic, beautiful car for a great price

That’s BEAUTIFUL. I’m so happy for you OP. I’m a proud 2003 owner and these things are fucking tanks. I got mine at 172k, great condition, no issues-like yours, and am still totally good today. You be gentle and take care of it, and it’ll take care of you for a long, long time to come. Send that thing to 300k+!

You must do your oil changes and regular maintenance. If anything ever feels even a little bit off, I check it out myself and schedule service if necessary. Do not take it to the dealership or chain shops like jiffy lube.

Congrats!

That’s a deal

you’re lucky, that’s a steal of a deal right now

Love the green

That’s a beauty! I bought my 2001 Camry two years ago with 140k and it’s done beautifully since. They’re troopers!
