Buyer's Remorse

SOmetimes, I am not pleased with my camry. Often I fantasize about being with other cars. Is thoughts about cheating the same as cheating?

I don't know if I can be happy with camry for very much longer.

I hear ya, there are times when I wanted to get rid of my car, especially during the winter since the tires I have now suck in the snow. But when my car is clean and the streets are dry, I like it

LOL. I was just thinking about the same exact thing!

I'm beginning to realize the interior is very cheaply made and not all parts fit exactly. I saw an 05 350Z with that orange color, 32000mi., and it was only for $16k. I was so close to trading mine in. But everytime I look at the Camry, I just fall in love again. It's like a love / hate relationship, ya know.

...that is actually one reason I bought the Camry: new + mod and still less than a Lexus GS, Infinity M, Audi A6, MB E-series etc. (IS, G, and C-series are all too small for me)

lol, somehow I find it hard to believe that you won't spend money modding the IS350 if you had one. Common, it really doesn't matter what cars we have....we will mods because that's who we are. At least, I got my wife convinced.

I am a V6. I bought my cars for the wrong reasons. I only got my car caz i needed a ride to work. It still is beatuful at night, how the silver paint reflect the light. But only at night.

I dunno....Maybe I am depressed that I can't get the wheel I wanted becuase they are sold out everywhere. (tsw mondello) I was ready to buy today...


I definitely rather have a coupe.

my car is old....i have a 2003 with 57k on it, and im approaching 60k, and stuff is beginning to wear out, like my brakes, balljoints, and the like, and the body is showing age with scratches, dents and the like.
i often feel i should have gotten something newer, but when it comes down to it i love the gen 5 more than any other gen of camry, and i got the color and options i want, plus ive modded the thing to the point where it suits me. i love my car and everytime i drive it i know why
ill be keeping mine for a while

Hey, at least the weather wasn't as warm as it was supposed to be here in STL today. Otherwise, you would have been cruising with the windows down in your horrible Silver Camry.


<-----------Posting from STL. Flying home to DC tomorrow.

I feel the same way about mine. Only because it has the I4 though. Everytime I use the cruise I hate the car cause it kicks down so damn easy and jumps up to 3000 plus on any little hill.

I've only had my car for a year and 3 months and the I4 in it is killing me. IDK how long this drive by wire thing has been in use in other cars but it's ridiculous. Last weekend I had an extremely close call trying to get the damn thing up to speed, so im taking it in to get a quote on the worth and am thinking about the v6 or an A4
