My baby for the past 3 years.
Very rugged and reliable car. Go for the V6 if you aren't all about fuel economy.

I drive one; here’s my 2 cents
1) Buy the four plug (You obviously care about fuel economy )

2) Please buy TOKS, and check vin; please try as much as possible to avoid Naija used.


I cum in peace

The more you know about the vehicle the safer you will be. Run a VIN check and verify critical facts you need to buy a used car with confidence. Check the title status, previous odometer readings and the current market of the vehicle. Do as many checks as possible to ensure you are getting a legitimate offer.

I been driving a 2004 Camry...... 4 cyl..... currently has 240 000 miles. The car is very reliable despite having such high milage. Maintenance is very low. I'm tall... the car suits me... plenty head room. I use it mainly for commute.... 40 miles each day.... 70 to 95 mph in the mornings..... 20 to 65 mph in the evenings.... no hills. If to be driven in a hilly area.... or you love to fetch load... get a 6 cylinder. I'm just kinda tired of this one and want to get the last in the series...2006 XLE. After that one... I hear of problems.

Hell no!.... only when I'm wayyyyy past the recommended change oil mileage I'll top up ... then change do the oil change later. I am super poor when it comes to maintenance... but yet.....the car is faithful.

I currently own one. The car is pretty reliable. The A/F and oxygen sensors are the only down side of this car for me. For an average user, it may not really matter cos it doesn't noticeable affect the driveability. It's easy to maintain as well. Just stick to manufacturer specs and you'll enjoy the car. I bought mine as Nigerian use and have used it for 3years now. It's currently 309k miles and still going very strong.
Re: Advice: What Are The Common Issues With Camry 04/05 by Owenuneed: 6:39am On Jan 24, 2021
Hello Guys, I'm currently using this car, but I noticed I'm having high fuel consumption rate. My mechanic said the catalyst i.e indomie is absent. Could this be the cause of the high fuel consumption??

Re: Advice: What Are The Common Issues With Camry 04/05 by Wilson5183(op): 8:13pm On Jan 24, 2021
Please what about the fuel consumption. Doesn't it consume alot of fuel.

The Car is prone to having malfunctions of those sensors. They're are the sensors which regulate Air and Fuel mixture in the car's combustion system. When these sensors go bad the car seems to lose it's fuel efficiency. Over 75% of this grade of Camry I have scanned always throw up codes suggesting that those sensors were malfunctioning. Like I said earlier, it doesn't noticeably affect driveability. You may only notice an increased fuel consumption. That is the only negative for that car for me. Apart from that, it is a very reliable and easy to maintain car.

As you plan for the 2006 XLE... A first time car owner is interested in your 2004.
