2002 Camry LE or SE

i was searching through craigslist looking for a second hand camry when a "For Sale: 2002 Camry Sport" caught my eye.

This Camry Sport comes with 5 speed , leather, and a spoiler.

I ask the seller if this is the Camry SE or is it the Camry LE w/ extra options (ie. 5 speed, leather and spoiler). >> She doesn't know.

Does anyone know if the LE came with these options or if the advertised Camry Sport is indeed a Camry SE. I read somewhere that the Camry SE is a better buy due to better wheels, suspension and other things.

Thanks for the help.

Does it come with alloy wheels? Cause LEs don't have alloys.

If you can, get the SE, you'll regret getting the LE in the first place... like me...

Three-spoke steering wheel = SE
Four-spoke steering wheel = LE or XLE

(you can't just look at the wheels, as alloys weren't standard on SE's, and they were available as a dealer-installed option on LE's)

Think of the maintenance!

Check for blacked out rear emblems, three spoke wheels, smoked headlights [dunno if they did smoke them or not for 02], the fake aluminium trim, white face gauges...

Heres a good example for the interior

A warning for what? I didn't break any rules. There's no rule prohibiting the use of profanity. I'm not challenging your authority, just pointing out that i did nothing to deserve a "warning."

The LE has optional alloys but they're not the same design as the SE. Other than that, you'll just have to look at the car in person for things like the steering wheel, interior trim, badging, lights, etc.. I'm guessing it's an LE with the options mentioned though. Unless it was a hand-me-down that is.. Most people go for the SE by choice (so they'd know) not my accident

any pics on the ad itself? post some pics of the car.
  • The SE should have a front strut bar, LE and XLE does not come with it
  • The SE will have fog lamps and the LE does not (unless they add them on) , the xle does come with fogs too
  • The SE will have a spoiler, black "camry" and "SE" emblems on the trunk. Black housed headlamps
  • The SE should have a silver faced speedo that lights up orange
  • As stated before the SE will have a 3 spoke steering wheel while the LE and XLE will have a 4spoke
  • The SE will have 16" alloys (gen5) and the LE should have hub caps, while the xle will have multi spoke alloys

thats all i can think of for now, it should be fairly easy to tell them apart
