The Camry. Save the money on gas and maintenance.

geez .. what is this .. .the 48th car you've asked about? You've been shopping since at least Jan. You said you're not getting one till fall anyway, right?

 

The Lexus are all expensive. Get the Camry.


hahah... This is a car forum, right? Thanks for the reply, though.


What happened to the Tundra?!


My mom is against pickups and doesn't like them.

Have you priced out the total cost of ownership (TCO) of those vehicles especially repairs?  Of those, the Camry is the best choice for a teen.


How would the cost of ownership change if I bought a lexus es350 2007 because it is the same exact car, but with some more luxury and still has the exact same engine. How much higher is insurance on the es350?


Because it's a Lexus and they will charge you more for the exact same piece of metal. This is a real thing, btw.

The Camry would be the smartest decision since even though they are all reliable cars, they will still all break eventually and the Toyota will be the cheapest to fix and maintain. Even though they share many parts, you’ll still get charged more to fix the Lexus just because it’s a Lexus. It’s stupid but that’s how places are

i wood do a pickup, then you can cut/sell firewood on weekends


hahaha... Yeah, I hear you man. But, pickups are too big and inefficient for me, I want something simple. Thanks for the reply though.


So skinny jeans and mocha lattes it is.

JK, baw. {black}:laughingoutloud:


I actually wanted a pickup, but my mom was against it and the market is too bad for pickups now.


she knows, "there's something women like about a pickup man"-RIP Joe Diffie
i found a good one beside the road this week below your budget

idk about the GS considering ur insurance id check with that first and also good choice with v6 in 07 camry since the 4cyl 07-09 had defective pistons and oil burners.

maybe a 2010 camry 4cyl would be better even a 2011 honda accord 4 cyl are excellent
