I currently have a 1990 Camry DX and I love it but its too small, and falling apart. I wanted a sporty car so I was looking at a 5-Speed Scion tC but im not sure what i want to do.

I found a 5-Speed Camry CE at a friend of mines dealership, and I was wondering how rare the 5-Speed is in the 6th gen Camrys. Should I avoid the CE?

I am so lost at what to do...Idk if I want the tC or the Camry.

Any comments will help! Thanks! What should I know for buying my first dealership car?

CE is barebones and bigger. tC is at least decked out with some stuff.

Only you can make the decision as its your money and your own personal interest. Asking us or any other forum wont do no good. Its our opinion. We can tell you go to buy a new car or a Lexus or Benz but that wouldnt help you at all. But you have to ask yourself these...

1. do you plan on keeping it for a while?
2. how much you looking to pay for the car? if its a reasonable price and not lowballing, stick with it and negotiate with the dealer
3. what is your price range and do any fit it?
4. do you want 2 door, 4 door?
5. do you want room?
6. does it have everything you want?

Do a search on google for buying cars. There are plenty of hints and info on how to approach and what to look out for.

Seriously, asking us for opinions will just confuse the hell out of you as you'll be getting different answers and opinions. Again, in the end, you're making the final decision so you have to decide on what you feel is best for you.

If your going to dealership, bring someone with you who has purchased a car. There are things you might not catch or understand that they will. Unfortunately for me, I didnt have someone. I had to make the decisions myself, haggle myself.

Ive asked myself these things and came up with nothing. I want peoples opinions, so thats why I asked.

I want to spend at most 13, size doesnt matter, and Im planning on keeping it a while. I personally know the own of a local Toyota Dealership, so its not a dealer issue.

I got a 5spd CE and i'm happy with it. The TC is too much of a girly car to me and is way too small, i'm 6'4''.
The camry is huge inside and out and comfortable.

The CE doesn't have remote door locks or power seats and i think thats about it as far as compared to the LE.

Stick shift Camrys are pretty rare, but you are guided by your wants of a stick shift and a low price. If the car fits your bucket and the price your wallet, then buy it. It should be more peppy than an equivalent automatic.

scion will be a bit faster bc its smaller and has same engine. if u want a 2 door with more pep then go tC. if u want 4 doors and more room then go camry. i would go camry and go turbo :lol:
