1990 Toyota Camry LE V6 Start Up, Exhaust, In Depth Tour, and Test Drive

[@derockn00]

I now own a 1990 red Camry LE passed down from my grandpa. has 79K miles to date after 24 years and He polished it EVERYDAY. So it looks like new. When I go to the car wash for detailing, the people over there were impressed at how well kept the car is. I love that V6 doe. Grrrrrrrr.

[@Kayla037]

I have a 1991 Toyota camry, given to me by my mom who passed away about a month ago, I told myself when I get back on my feet I will restore this vehicle and make it look brand new. it only has 80,000 miles on it.

[@cookiesandcartoons]

+sweetdaddy coolaid My brother still has the '91 Camry that we used as kids. It's got 470 000 km on it and still purrs like a cat. The only problem is rust(and the catalyzer) because the first owner didn't care about rust proofing and there's so much road salt here in winter.

[@Kayla037]

Wow, I still see some of them on the road here in Cali. they are good cars.

[@cristianperez1120]

im 15 and my mom has 1991 Toyota camry and for some reason i want to be unique in my town and have that car looking nice tinted windows and LED lights to make it look more modern but cool at the same time i hope it last till im old enough to drive because its back to 0 miles so its worth nothing at this point but i like the car and my mom still drives it like if its still new

[@Kayla037]

It is worth something, maybe not money but it represents good memories which is worth more than money. You can always buy a new engine for the car if you still want it, that will run you about 1500 dollars depending on how new it is.

[@tylongkicks8821]

@sweetdaddycoolaid sorry about your loss. The 89-96 Camrys are my favorites.

[@meepingdrew]

I miss my 1988 Camry LE V6. It was my Grandmothers. Had 272k miles on the original engine. Such a solid car. Lost due to accident from someone failing to yield right of way :(

[@pedrito77]

Wow! This was my very first car! The velour seats were amazing! You forgot to mention the most important part: right under the steering wheel, there's an vent! It was directed right at your groin--best invention ever. Perfect for those hot summer days. Thank you for posting this video.

[@bgerb4943]

Aaaaaahh take s me back to the good ol' late 90s when my neighbor's teenage son had a 1990 Toyota Camry LE V6 like this one, good ol' 90s grunge and all, those were/are great cars so much nostalgia, thats all!

Great friggin car, i had a 1991 4 cylinder from 07-13 with 179,000 miles when i brought it and she never let me down or left me stranded even in the most extreme cold condition during the winter in the north east. All you gotta do is keep an good battery and change the oil and she'll run forever..

[@flip240]

My first car was a handed down 1990 Camry v6 LE in light blue. I didn't know anything about cars back then, but it drove amazing and the only thing that ever broke on it was the exhaust rusting out. I still hold most cars today to the standard of that car.

[@IBK31]

My 98 year old great grandmother had this same car in the same color before she recently died. She use to drive that car like a bat out of hell. Brings back memories. Great video Kyle.

It's quite a large engine for such a small car to be honest

[@indigocoolvinyl00]

[@johnmandoni5627]

Brought a tear to my eye; I bought immaculate one of these from a lady whose father owned it and had passed away. It was my first car out of college and starting my new job. These had really smooth engines and one of the most sublime transmissions I’ve ever driven. They shifted almost imperceptibly. I ended up selling after 2yrs when it had persistent but slow oil leak - was quoted more to replace main rear seal than car was worth. In hindsight, I would have kept it a bit longer. This was much nicer than newer Camry as it fitted just below Cressida which was their top level car before Lexus was released.

[@bobstar1996]

Awe man i hate to hear this . I own a 1990 camry LE model when i got it i realized its not worth the 3k to replace the seals so used liquid copper in the rad and before my next oil change i used stop leak lower seal repair and since then iv lost minimal oil . And from most peoples reviews you can expect at least two years of a good seal then just rinse and repeat lol 😂 and thats what i plan to do .

Great video Kyle!!! I personally owned this car for 5 years and I must say it was a blast to drive and comfortable for long cruises. Rarely ever needed any major repairs and I loved it every time i drove it. I actually believe that power mode really made difference in acceleration as the engine revved higher. This brings back memories since i have sold this car now after adding 130,000km in just 5 years of driving and bringing a total 345,000km!!!!. Definitely recommend this car to anyone.

Kyle, I LOVE you for doing these! It's hard to find a good video on KZbin about 1988-1991 Toyota Camry. I brought my first car ever, 1991 Toyota Camry LE V6 off from junkyard for only $130. It run fine, but need some work. Now it's running perfect for 3.5 years since I got it on road! Lot of long road trip and it never act up or give up on me! I'm a daily driver and it got 265,000km (164,660 miles) on it now. I got it when it was 235,000km (146,020 miles). TOYOTA LASTS FOREVER!!

[@davidperry4013]

Also the 2018-2024 V6 Camries have over 300 HP and it sounds better than a Maserati. The new camries are hybrid only but, that isn't a bad thing because Toyota makes the best hybrids and they proved their worth with the 4 generations of the Toyota Prius, 3 generations of the Lexus RX hybrid, and other Toyota and Lexus hybrids.

[@silasmcgee3647]

The V-6 will probably make more sense to you in the much larger 93 model but there’s nothing really wrong with putting a V6 in a small car because it’s a Toyota so it’s bulletproof either way

Man, this car was and still is a classic! Good review!

[@satguy27]

Just bought a new to me 90 Camry LE V6, paid a grand for it with 280,085 miles on it. Was a one owner and needed a well deserved bath inside and out, but overall it's still a great running car with all it's Toyota based maintenance records up until 2006, but it was parked shortly after that and stayed that way until I got it. Had to empty out the gas tank and change the fuel filter and gave it some new plugs, wires, and distributor cap and rotor and it fired right back to life. However, for anyone reading this after this is being posted, many of the parts externally and the suspension parts are becoming obsolete, so depending where you are, Rock Auto dot com is gonna be your best friend for parts or maybe a junk yard if you're lucky enough to find a decent one in there. Struts and strut springs are seemingly becoming an issue if they need replaced, so take that into consideration. Anything dealing with the stereo is going to take slight fabrication and/or modification for the now 30 year old vehicle. But she's definitely on her way to the half million club with the new tires and belts.

[@WarthogRacer]

I love the acceleration sound of this car and other Japanese cars of this era. My grandfather had an '82/'86 Nissan (N12) Pulsar NX.

[@DarkandStormyNight01]

I have an '87 Camry LE 4 cil in mint condition with 45,000 miles and I adore her! Differences: I have crome exterior door handles, no mirror in the driver's side visor and no sunroof. Unless the guy wasn't aware of it or the '90 Camry doesn't have it; my Camry has folding back seats making the trunk uber large for extra long packages :) I also keep my Camry in overdrive(? the button he pushed) so it's ALWAYS peppy. I also love & prefer the great rear window coverage vs today's car style.

I had a base model of this particular Camry - five speed manual, power-nothing (with the exception of steering), leaking trunk, and a bad paint job. Yet despite how basic the car was it still had electronic fuel injection for reasons that escape me and was fun to drive (but that may be the nostalgia talking). Even on the base model the interior quality (even without nearly so many features) had all the soft touch materials, rockin' fake leather, and (I only this was included because the car was originally from California) air conditioning. Some days I miss that car other days I'm thankful to have airbags. EDIT: Now I know what that blank next to the center stack was for!

this 90s v6 sounds manlier than many of today's. i am impressed.

[@mhtube01]

Overdrive pretty much gets rid of 4th gear actually and makes it a 3 speed in a way. It allows the engine to run at a lower RPM at higher speeds while in 4th gear, say on the highway, thus improving gas mileage and it kind of makes it feel like you have a 5 speed. It works great with a V6 too since you have all the extra power over a 4 cylinder. It's always on unless you turn it off by pushing that button on the shifter.

[@tinuthomas531]

By adjusting for inflation, cars like the Camry were worth $30k-$40k new in the 80s. Nowadays you can get a new Camry for around $20k. They’re obviously going to have to cut costs to keep the price down, it’s always sold starting around $20k for decades. If you want quality, get a higher trim Camry or a more expensive model, those fetch for $30k-$40k, just like what a Camry would cost 35 years ago

This was Toyota at its finest, building cars without regard to cost. Toyota over the past decade has taken cost-cutting to the extreme. Just compare the 2007-2011 Camry's cheapness to the 1990 model. The last generation Corolla was even worse! Toyota needs to bring back fat product! Start putting those massive profits back into your cars!

That's not exclusive to Toyota, Mercedes from around 1995 starting with the bug eyed E Class took build quality from their vehicles and threw it away. It wasn't apparent at the time but 5 years later these cars starting rusting in a shameful fashion in the UK anyway with its wet climate. Most Mercedes sedans from that 1995 until around 2003 still running over in the UK have perforated body panels, it's very rare to see one that's not affected. In the nice dry states of the USA it might be a different story.

Toyota's quality slipped a little after they redesigned it for 2007. I drive an '03 Camry which has quality black leather inside and chrome door handles and panel around the window controls - very well built

[@archechme]

EVERYBODY is doing it.

[@WildWhiteFang]

I work for toyota as a tech and honestly the 2007-2011 camrys are honestly garbage. The problem ones are the ones with the 2.4l 2AR motors that burn oil like crazy. The 2002-2006 camrys are very well built.

I used to remember these late 1980s, early 1990s Toyota Camry models ranging from sedan to wagon, V6 and 4-cylinder, and 4-speed automatic and 5-speed manual. Some of them were All-Trac I believe. Good to see that this car was kept in rust-free condition and driven very little by its original owner back in 1990. Also good to see one-owner vehicles like these. You may not find them anywhere.

It's truly tragic how Toyota's quality and philosophy have declined over the years. Same with Honda.

[@ericmartin529]

+Parrots and Potatoes uh, wut?

[@torguy5763]

+Parrots and Potatoes Their quality has not dropped, but their designs have for sure.

[@mercurialmagictrees]

probably both, it pisses me off. I need to move out west so I can get a decent condition old car

[@raedabdulrahman6556]

Wtf are you talking about??? (I'm aware you typed this years ago).

[@oscar721x8]

Well, the EPA is forcing companys to make car more efficient. Thats why newer car are not too reliable like the old ones. But they are still exception, like my 2011 Outlander sport with CVT. It has 162k trouble free miles. The only thing that gone bad and was replaced was the a/c compressor.

[@bvxjvmin5816]

I have a 1991 Toyota Camry that I got from a family member who couldn't drive anymore. It's got 106k miles on it and it runs perfectly fine.

[@seahawks9608]

Mike Pension are you selling it?

[@bvxjvmin5816]

Unfortunately, no.

[@myolox]

too bad this car will start with any key, thieves flock to this car.

[@amistry605]

yup, my dad had his stolen TWICE in the same neighborhood in Chicago

[@benderbendingrofriguez3300]

+amistry605 HA!!!! Glad i am living in Canada.

[@amistry605]

Bender Rodriguez yeaaa.. i love my hometown (chicago) but its terrible out here

[@tendy101100]

+Bender Rodriguez canada is safer?

[@mikeyu3159]

Depends. I'm pretty sure cities like Toronto isn't safe. You're probably safe if you're living in a town full of white seniors in the interior of British Columbia.

[@benpinter1988]

I had an 1990 camry dx 2.0 similar color and us spec with the big bumpers and the auto seatbelts, as far as I know there were only a couple of them in my country. It had 190k miles in it, but it was fairly good. Sold it last year to a guy who tries to sell it ever since, sometimes I feel like I should buy it back. Saabkyle, thanks a lot for this video!
