Pros: Reliable Quality Vehicle Cons: My Family Has Outgrown It
Two weeks ago I took my 1989 Toyota Camry to a mechanic to get my old changed and other maintenance and as he looked under the hood he turned to tell me that my engine was in remarkable shape for having 179,000 miles on it and told me that it...

Pros: Reliability and fuel economy beyond compare, utility Cons: 4-cyl Under-powered @ hi-elevation; Not designed for off-road
I need a low-maintenance vehicle as versatile as an SUV, but I refuse to drive a behemoth because of fuel economy. You'll never believe all the things I have done in my Camry Wagon.
When I got my Camry, it was to replace my rather...

Pros: All the space! Cons: one of the windows doesn't roll down anymore :\
My older sister has owned her camry for 3 years and she got it from a family friend. It seems as though this '89 Toyota Camry will NEVER die! It's got way over 100,000 miles and everything in it is still running strong. My sister bought this car just...

Pros: Dependable, long-running Cons: stripped down model, not as plush
In 1989, my husband totaled his relatively new car. In need of something quick, we walked down the street to a nearby Toyota dealer. We were rather desperate and decided on the bottom of the line Camry. The model we chose didn't have an outside mirror...

Wow, when I bought this car 2 years ago in 1998, I thought to myself that this car would not last since it was almost 10 years old. To this day I regret saying that, it runs like a dream. I have an 89' marroon Camry with power everything, and a nice moon...

Pros: Solid and dependable Cons: none that I can think of
I own a 1989 Toyota Camry. I bought it when it was two years old and had 50,000 miles on it. I was not worried about the high mileage due to the consumer reports that had been written about the Camry.
I am here to tell you that it now has...

Pros: The initial buying cost Cons: Saves money for the long term because of its renowned dependability
I admit it - I am currently driving an 86 Buick Century, but that's only been the last little bit of my driving life (and it's only because I didn't want a payment and since there were no used Camrys around in my price range...well...you know the...

Pros: Lasts for years, good gas mileage, took a serious licking, and kept on ticking. Cons: Finally died...hey but it was 14 years old! The Bottom Line: Find one that has less than 200K miles, and you'll have a great car.
RIP my 1989 Toyota Camry. My aunt bought this car brand new off of the lot in 1988-89. It was th ...

Pros: reliable, good gas mileage, power locks Cons: stiff steering at times
The '89 Toyota Camry is a really great car. My dad has had his since '91, and it was the car I learned to drive on. The car has very good handling, though the wheel is a little bit stiff and takes real muscle to turn sometimes. Also, the turning radius...

Pros: Ease of handling, gas mileage, lack of repair costs Cons: Lack of a rear window wiper
I have been driving a Camry for more than 15 years. Prior to my first Camry ownership I always felt the need to drive a full sized sedan. I'm
over 6 feet tall and needed the leg room. But the interior design of the Camry affords me more than...

Pros: This car has now 176,000 miles. It still runs. Cons: Too many repairs due to prior owner. The Bottom Line: I would recommend to get a car like this because it is good on gas and it doesn't take much to keep it up.
I brought this car three years ago when my oldest daughter was in high school. The first owners brought the car off the show room floor. It must have been great! Well, a friend of mine told me about this car and I was in need of a car. I got the car but ...

Pros: Reliable, great-looking, great value Cons: Maybe too attractive to thieves The Bottom Line: I recommend this car but be aware of its popularity for thieves. That said, I probably would still buy it, as it was a great alternative to a new one.
Upon returning from overseas in July 2004 after 5 years living and teaching in Africa, Europe and the Middle East, I knew I had to buy a car to re-enter American life. The only place I had needed a car in that time was Africa, and it was a 1986 Corolla ...
