Used Toyota Camry for Sale in Redding, CA

The car seems to be extremely reliable and appears to provide decent protection for a smaller sized vehicle. However, you do pay a pretty penny for such a nice car, I walked out of the door with a "discount", spending about $22,000. The versatility was enhanced from my previous car experiences as this car provides a rear-view backup cam. I purchased the all-weather floor mats which are amazing. The backseat also provides tons of space. I can fit two car seats plus a stroller back there!

My 2003 Toyota Camry V-6 LE is the largest car I have ever owned. When I bought it, I wanted to get something with anti-lock brakes and side-curtain airbags since I needed to commute in L.A. I thought I'd only drive it a couple of years and then get something a bit smaller after the airbags became more popular on other cars. However, after 16 years with no problems at all, I can't find a good reason to sell it. Yes, it's got a lot of miles on it (about 145,000), but I keep it well maintained, and she runs great. It has never leaked ANY fluid on the floor of my garage, even after that many miles. The car has always looked very classy (white with tan interior), and has cast wheels that give it a bit of a "sporty" feel, too. There's a ton of room for suitcases in the trunk (for those long vacation trips), plus a lot of handy cubbies and nooks for storing things in the cabin. The floor mats are worn and dirty, but the carpets and upholstery still look like new. The driver's seat is electric, and has an adjustable lumbar support, too. Even with that, though, I still needed to put in a back support to keep my back from aching on long drives. The back seat is apparently comfortable, though -- my wife (who has had back problems for years) prefers to sit back there most of the time. Since I keep it garaged, the headlight covers aren't even cloudy. I was surprised that it's not very peppy, with it's V-6 engine, but I think a lot of that is due to the transmission always being in 'overdrive.' Speaking of the transmission, it's a bit slow to do a downshift when you stomp on the gas pedal to pass someone, but I've gotten used to it and manually shift if I need to. The mileage is pretty decent, too, for such a large car -- about 28 mpg -- and that is also due to the overdrive on the transmission. That keeps the rpms from getting out of the "economy" mode. When I go down a long, steep hill, though, I turn off the overdrive, and the transmission is usually enough to keep the car from going over 65 mph.
