What can I say about the Camry? It cost me $250 sight-unseen, bought off eBay and arrived on the back of a truck from NSW. I was told the transmission would need relacing – but the simple adjustment of one nut got another 18 months out of it. Other than a $350 second-hand transmission, it has had nothing but routine maintenance and tyres. My dad runs it up and down the Geelong-Melbourne road 6 days a week and has put nearly an extra 100 000kms under its wheels. It’s completely soulless and boring – but economical and reliable. If you just want to get from A to B (and with no literally no luxuries in between) then the Camry is the car for you. Don’t expect it to be fun…
