well after i have had the car since jan 08 i traded my 07 ( new but left over) camry se off.
the camry was a i4 auto, w/heated leather, heated mirrors, sunroof, jbl, trd wheels, trac/stability control, every option u could get on a 4 cyc, sticker was 296xx

but i traded for a 2011 grand cheerokee larado x 4x4 38xxx sticker

plus all the standard stuff even has a built in flashlight.

i love the remote start it turns on the heater and heated seats, the rear defroster and mirrors. love to see what id does when the weather is not 30 deg

all keyless just grab the door handle and it unlocks and touch the start button, to lock touch the black piece on the door, or chrome piece on the rear hatch, never get the key out( now if my house can do that). u can pause live radio/sat radio, rewind and play back. the interior lights up so nice at night, it has dim lights near the door handles and door pocket and on/in the over head console that gives off a dim light, so the car doesnt look pitch black but not distracting or bright, also it has rings around the cup holders that light up. and i got my auto hvac controls back, like my es300 had... god i missed that.every thin is voice controled push a button say turn radio to so ans so channel it does.


got 1.9% financing over 5 years which is nice. didnt carry anything over on the car. i financed it (the car 7years) too long.( i got took on it thought it was a 6 years at 7%, didnt read) i will be paying back close to the same amount.

but over the first 900 miles i got 23 mpg out of the jeep, compared to 27 out of the car on the same trip.

i will miss the camry but not the rattling sunroof that never was quiet.(turned me agaist sunroofs, my old lexus never rattled but the camry was never quit) and the jbl has more low end bass than the jeeps 9 speakers.

but the camry was a great car never let me down and was always a joy to drive, managed 35 mpg out of a few tanks. no bad words to say ( minus the sunroof)
now pics of both




oh the center, it displays
radio settings
fuel economy and distance to empty w/ real time fe
speed
tire pressure in each tire
trans temp/coolant temp/ oil temp/ oil pressure/ engine hours
has a vehicle setup when u can adjust about everything,





now el coche, my favorite pic of her.

congrats on your new car. yea financing sucks. I do like my 07 se. 5 year 2.9% apr. got it back in november. will be paid off by next year though :-) i wish mine came with heated seats let alone leather. man didn't even realize you could do heated mirrors definitely would've helped this past winter. but yea congrats new car looks nice.

No place left to put your Camry?

I'm getting an SUV or Truck next but by the rate of depreciating, I don't see the point in getting rid of a $10-$15k car that still works fine.
