Used 1998 Toyota Camry for Sale

For a car that's 20 years old, I can honestly say that it's the most reliable car ever. I have about 120,000 miles on the car, and the only maintenance I've done is oil changes and replacing the clutch over the last 18 years. I could have a Mercedes or a BMW if I wanted a status symbol, but they would never be as low maintenance. As for the design of my car, I'd say the Camry is pretty timeless, so it doesn't actually stand out in the parking lot as a 20-year-old car. Believe it or not, I've actually had several people leave notes on the windshield offering to my buy my car! They know that Camry's last for a very long time, and I think one of the most practical things a car owner can do is keep your car for a long time. Buying a new car every year is just wasteful. I get great mileage for the fuel, for example, when I drive from New York City to North Carolina, I only have to refill my tank once (if I start out on a full tank). I used to live in New York City, so I nicknamed my car the Gray Lady after the New York Times. In the city, my car really took a beating, there's always someone tapping your bumper while parking or a taxi cab door hitting your side. Someone broke into my car once! But the Camry is so durable that you can barely tell from looking that body.

The Toyota Camry is a four-door sedan with exceptional roominess. The backseats have leg room for adults, and the front seats are wide enough to make one feel like a first-class airplane seat. The trunk is enormous. It has enough room to hold a full-sized stroller and six other suitcases. The head room is enough to handle a six-foot five adult and not have him duck his head to the side. The vehicle has clean lines and is super reliable. It handles well and has a lot of power for a four cylinder.

This sweet, little, used car was right in my price range. And in fact, the owner had already moved on to a new car, and this one was taking up valuable parking space. I was happy to adopt it and have it take me home. This little car is the perfect fit for me, as I'm usually the only one in it. I don't need a big, gas-guzzling tank when this zips through traffic and into parking spots with ease. My mechanic has had nothing to say but glowing reports about this purchase. He says it should last me for a long time if I keep up the maintenance. What few repairs it needs, he says, will be easy and inexpensive to take care of. This makes me very happy.
