Just to be clear, this is hands down the most reliable car to date!

New, proud owner of a '98 Camry at 60,000 miles. Just got it a state over from NJ for $2,250- No rust. I felt like I've been blessed with this beauty.

My 2000 camry made it to 406,000 miles and was still running. It needed struts, new tires, oil pump gasket to stop oil leak, and exhaust system. It had the original transmission / engine all still working fine. I finally let go of it but it probably would have ran at least another 100,000 miles. Amazing car.

Bought a 98 new. Done 510k miles. It`s still a beast.

Watching this as a proud owner of a 2000 Camry with 60k on the clock. The mechanic had a look at it recently and he said it’s in better condition than most cars only a few years old. 😂

My camry turns 21 this year! Taking her out for drinks mayb premium gas

#3 #4 #5 all of which I have experienced, but I didn't have any issues with the original equipment until 280,000 miles. I also had to replace my OE radiator around 290K, but in total the repair bill for all of those issues was under $1,000. I'm now over 300K and expect to hit 400K no problem. Just make sure you're keeping up with your oil changes and timing belt. Also, replace the water pump when you replace the timing belt. This car will last forever. In fact, my original key no longer starts my car because the teeth are so worn the antitheft activates LOL the car has outlasted the original key it came with.

I've ordered many parts for my 1999 Camry from your company, and your delivery time & quality are better than most online parts sources I've used before. I also love your instructional videos on these cars, straightforward, accurate & no ambiguity. These cars were manufactured here in Georgetown Kentucky, near my home, I also met some people who still build modern Camrys in that plant, many people who locally race these older Camrys, and retired plant workers who remember building these 4th generation ('97-'01) Camrys. These "old timers" still rave about how much better these Camrys are, compared to the newer models their children are currently building in that same plant! I have just crossed 370,000 miles driving/maintaining my own 4 cylinder, 4th Generation Camry, thanks to the old timers' stories, your instruction videos, and a lot of parts I bought from you guys. Keep up the Good work! -Love to see more Gen-4 Camry videos!

Imagine the world if every vehicle had problems this simple

Broken door handles 😂

Had a 01 Camry with 312k kilometres. Bought is for $350 and have had to put about $1000 into it. Done Oil changes and replaced the front left axle. Overall great for eating up highway miles and keeping you comfortable.

This car is literally bullet proof for reliability

Tail light wiring affecting shifting. Who knew. Thanks, I will remember that. Good tips.

I have a 2000 Camry V6. No major issues. It has over 194,000 miles. Mine takes off very fast at a light. I beat a 2020 Mustang. He picks up and goes with no issues. I have not had any of the issues that were talked about except the oxygen sensor. That is it. Mine still runs like it did when I bought it. The best car EVER!!

Thanks for great video, my 97 has all other than the Gasget! Milage close to 300 KM. despite all these runs smooth.

I'm super glad to have found this video. We just bought a 2001 Toyota Camry LE that has three of these issues. The wiring harness tip was the best of the batch. All 7 wires were broken in two places in the general vicinity of the trouble area you pointed out. They've been trimmed, spliced, soldered, and shrink tubed. The reverse lights and the license plate lights all work now. When it wasn't simply the bulbs or fuse, I was concerned it would be a difficult diagnosis and repair. I've ordered the valve cover gasket from your website. The oxygen sensor is the next one on your list that I'll tackle. This video has no doubt saved me many hours and many headaches. Thanks!

I guess I might have what you referred to as a "barn jewel." I have a 1999 Camry LE, and it just hit 83,000 miles as of yesterday. It was garaged most of its life, and the previous owner always had it serviced at Toyota. At 65, 000 miles, the water pump and timing belt was replaced, the brakes were serviced, the hoses and belts were replaced, and the power steering pump was replaced or repaired due to the leak you described in the video. In addition, the paint is original, and other than a couple of dings, it looks almost better than when it was new. Of course, I am a detailer and have been detailing cars for over 40 years, so I do have an advantage in that department. With that said, it is amazing that this car is in the condition it is in. In fact, it is in better condition than most of the newer versions of the Camry you see today. Thanks you for your video, as it has given me some things to be proactive about, especially the wire harness in the trunk. I had planed on replacing a lot of the wire looms under the hood, but now I will have to check on that one too.

I had a 2000 camry for about 10 years and never had any of these issues except for the valve cover gasket.i just sold it with over 258,000 miles on it and it was still running like a champ.love those camrys.i just got a 03 LE V6 with only 103,000 miles, super clean love my "new" cam.

Informative keep em coming on the 4cylinder 2000 toyota camry
