Hey, I'm relatively new here, and i'm a noob to the world of driving but my dad gave me his 2000 camry and I would like to know the most about it possible. My first noob question is: What generation is it? I read these posts talking about gen3 and gen4, i assume that 2000 is gen4, am i right? Is there a gen5 with the 2002?

Yup, you are right. Gen 3 was 92-96, Gen 4 97-01, and Gen 5 '02+. Or something like that. 2000 is def. a Gen 4- with the wide, flat tail lights.

Yes yes, i've tried to talk to my dad about modding the car but he sees no point. Its an LE V6, white, with tan leather interior and every option. Power everything, 6disc in-dash cd changer, alloy rims, etc. It's on a 4 year lease, and we're just half way. Anyone know rules about toyota leases? What will void the lease? My dad said not to do anything to the engine because thats automatically a void, he thinks. I may just rice it up a little with some blue street glow and maybe a nice system to bump around in. What type of mods will void the warranty?

Here's a little history on the Camry

If you can afford it, get a TRD supercharger and have them install it. It shouldn't violate any conditions of the lease :P

wow, 2002-2006? Damn, i had no idea they planned like that! Btw, nice car in your sig but it looks a lil odd with the rims...maybe they're not big enough or something, it just looks odd with the beastly camry. :shrug: maybe its just that picture.
