1995 Toyota Camry LX

Summary:

Lemon

Faults:

Every last thing that you could ever imagine. This car made me so depressed I couldn't begin to imagine a worse experience. This car is a complete lemon. And the customer service sucks. I had to replace the rotors and axle. Struts and the transmission, battery and starter. Hmmmm oh yes and the radio started to malfunction and play and an obnoxious level until I disconnected it completely. The dealer then tried to somehow blame the malfunction on me. This was a horrifying experience, stay away if you want to keep your sanity. Oh yeah an the moonroof stopped working as well.

General Comments:

SUCKED.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I can't really defend the dealer, but, come on, we're talking about a car with 112k-129k miles. Things will happen. Things will have to be replaced. And maybe the previous owner didn't take good care of it. You can't really blame a car with high mileage for not running quite as well as a 60k mileage car that's certified or whatever super-high standards you judged this older car by.

Thanks for an honest review. A very dear friend of mine was talked into buying a used Camry with 80,000 miles on it. In just a few months he was having nothing but trouble with everything on the car. Then the transmission went out (common for Camrys) and he was told that repairing it would cost $3000. His wife was sick and he was very short on money. He junked the Camry and paid virtually nothing for an old Chevy Celebrity wagon with over 200,000 miles on it. That old Chevy has performed flawlessly for 4 years. Toyota might once have built a car that came close to the Ford or GM cars of 20 years ago, but in the past decade they have built VERY unreliable vehicles, especially the poorly built Camry.

I saw poor dealer customer service, and the exact parts indicated. Imports do have issues, however flabbergasted that may seem to you.

Sounds like you got ripped off by a crooked dealer selling you a lemon. This says more about the dealer than about the car. You'd be better off buying a 1 owner vehicle from a private party than buying ANYTHING used from a stealership, I mean dealership.

I had a Camry for four years and it never gave me as minute's bother in anyway shape or form. The only reason I traded it in, was to get a newer car. That's all!...I daresay my trade-in will still be making someone very happy.

1995 Toyota Camry LE 4 cylindar

Summary:

Slow and Steady wins the race

Faults:

The car has required:

Two new motor mounts- $400 all together

(We knew this when we bought the car)

Brake work- $100.

Emergency Brake Work- $40.

Potential O-ring problem, but we have experienced no major leaks of yet

The A/c does not work.

General Comments:

This car is very sluggish, but sounds very solid.

The engine purrs like it was brand new.

The seats are very comfortable.

Gets okay gas mileage 26 on the highway

22 in city.

Overall a very solid and dependable first car. It should last to over 200,000 miles. I see nothing going wrong with it in the near future.

With my 94 2.2L 5sfe 5 speed manual transmission, I get probably an average of 35mpg on the highway. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Never under 30mpg though. Just another reason automatics suck.

1995 Toyota Camry LE 2.2 4 cylinder

Summary:

I believe this car will last many more years to come

Faults:

Needed new breaks.

"D" light in dashboard burned out.

Driver's side power-window motor is weak.

A belt for the air conditioner had to be replaced.

General Comments:

I bought this Camry from the original owner at a good price. Most of its problems were usual for a car this age and have been fixed at mostly reasonable but sometimes high prices. It's amazing how these cars drive so smoothly with 90+ K miles on them. Inside, It's hard to put the car in park when there is a cup in the left cup-holder. Also the dashboard seems designed only for the driver's use... the passenger will find it a bit harder to use the radio and A/C controls. Outside, the paint has held up well but the original wheelcovers are wearing out. overall though I think these '92-'96 Camrys are masterpieces! I love my '95.

I purchased a 1995 camry in 2004. It had 80,000 miles on it when purchased, and I have had no problems with it. I expect that I will be able to get 300,000 miles on it without any major problems. The car is very confidence inspiring. It is very quiet and responsive, and everything in the car still works commendably. I would highly recommend it. All the materials used are top notch, normally expected in a more expensive auto.
