Aw, he's just bitter he only has 4 cylinders, he'll get over it like Lammi did, some day.

I think he meant to say is "What's worse is being passed by a granny in a V6", so who's the one driving like an old fart here?

My aunt has a Lincoln Town Car....3 kids. 8,11,14 and she loves it. But she's always driven a big car. She almost got a Magnum Hemi!!

I agree, all he does is bash Toyota and how much he hates his car...just sell it and buy a ford...you'll eventually realize how good a Toyota really is

A car is what you make it......old folks tend to like reliability. I don't see anything wrong with a young people liking that too. Putting bigger wheels on your car and tinting the windows is one of the things you can easily do to distinguish it from an old person's car. It's not like a Camry has an old image you can't shake no matter how you try to mod it.

I won't be trading in my ES any time soon just because I saw a lot of old people at the dealership when I went yesterday. They all seemed happy so that gives me more evidence that I have a comfortable, reliable car. Now it is modding time as soon as I get some cash rolling!

And don't feel too bad that you are being owned by old people on the road. It's all good. Trade in for a Gen 6 SE V6 and you can show granny how it really should be done. I don't know about other places but when I went to Florida one spring break, all the old people I encountered had VERY heavy feet. Any of them could have gotten stopped for speeding well above the speed limit or reckless driving.

Camry really isn't a car for old people the only kind of car I have ever had is a Camry. If anything I would say its more for middle aged people, not seniors. When I think of a car for senior citizens I think Buick, Cadillac, and Lincon. Hell most older people still refuse to buy an import.

I thought the Avalon has a reputation of that? Not the camry. ask 10 old people if they like toyota, the majority would say yes

here is the reason why i dont get rid of it:

bought in mar 06 for 17,500.00
registration 800.00
total 18,300.00

if I sell it today, i'll be lucky if i get $15,000.00 (private party).
I need at least another 800.00 to register the car i replace the camry with.

i would also lose the 800.00 i paid to register the camry at the beginning.

total loss = (17,500 - 15,000) + 800 + 800 = $4,100.00.

that is a lot of money to lose in less than 2yrs.

OK, I guess that makes sense. Did you expect the purchase would be an investment with a good ROI? Now for the sake of everyone that now knows your reasons, could you quit cher bitchin?
