I still remember the thanksgiving my uncle and his wife showed up in one of these that morning at the big family gathering. Everyone got a kick out of the rear wipers. I remember it had the alloys and leather. V6 that made it nice and peppy. They had a one yr old lil girl at the time who I watched get married last month. Hard to find retro review. Thx motor week!

I have a 95 Camry Wagon as my current daily. It’s held up extremely well with zero leaks. It currently has 195k on it, with over 40k being put on it in just 9 months. It’s been extremely reliable even today. I treated it to new gas shocks for the front and rear hatches, new front door speakers, all new engine mounts, a new single din with Bluetooth because it’s almost a necessity these days, and mk3 Supra wheels that I got for $100 with brand new tires on them. The car is absolutely amazing for moving things. I can’t say enough good about the car. And at 70, with NGK plugs, wires, and igniter, I get 32mpg. I’ve gotten almost 550 miles to a tank. I simply can’t say enough good about the car. It’s treated me extremely well.

I still see these Camry wagons on the roads every now and then quite frequently and they seem to last forever. I’m sure each of them has a few hundred thousand miles on the original engines and transmissions. My Toyota Sienna hit 290K miles and still drives flawlessly without having to rebuild anything. Yes, besides the engine and transmission, the suspension, electric windows, fuel pump, brake calipers, iced cold AC, paint job are still original. Engine oil is clear after 6000 miles amazing. My Honda, BMW, Infiniti, Mercury, Mazda and Nissan are not in the same league.

I have had many people come up to me in parking lots or while I'm pumping gas and remark about how they haven't seen one of these in years. Overall, it's been an interstoing, but worthwhile experience.

I drive a 95 Camry LE V6 wagon with 246k miles. Still runs great. No surprises in the repair department, except a radiator that suddenly failed three years ago. Otherwise, I’ve just had parts replaced as they wear out. Cosmetically it’s not great, with the clear coat having worn off on one side, but It hasn’t been in a garage since I bought it it 2001 (I don’t have one). It’s been great for hauling my keyboard rig to gigs. Just had the struts and valve cover gasket replaced, and plan on driving it a little longer.

[@louiszagar1270]

So, I needed a new car back in 1999 since my late dad's 1983 K-Car wagon(!) he gave me finally was sold to a high school kid. I bought a 3 year old 1996 Camry Wagon that came out of the south with the 4 cylinder 2.2L engine with just 42,000 miles on it . White, beige interior, black roof rack, gorgeous and with the gold badges all around. Even found two extra CAMRY gold badges and stuck them mid line on the front doors near the hinges. Looks original And yes, they are GOLD PLATED! $32 on Ebay. I have been driving it ever since and still own it down here in Florida. Has never seen snow, salt, etc. and is solid as a rock. In the same condition as this video! The interior is "eat off the floor" clean, the rear hatch and engine hood hydraulic lifts were all replaced new (a very cheap fix), everything works as new (yes, even that pesky power antenna motor that I replaced only ONCE in 25 years. All power windows work perfectly (replace just ONE a few years back) and she sports a new windshield. She also has two sets of original Toyota wheel covers, not those cheap ones you can get at your auto parts store. Finally, I have her running on my favorite tire of all time...TIGER PAW AWP II WHITE WALLS! i put a little "beefier" tine on her as well Great handling and essentially a Michelin tire since they now bought our Uniroyal a few years back. I did spring for a new Kenwood BlueTooth radio head just to keep up with the times, ya know! Then....IT happened after 258,000 miles (my goal when I bought it was to rack up enough miles to get me to the moon...about 243,000 miles). Just changed the oil and was coming back home when it started to rock and roll. Got it home only to have to tow it to a great Toyota repair shop I found near me. Failed the engine block test. Bummer. Opened the top of the engine to do the repairs and was told by the mechanic because of excessive wear he found in spite of the care it has received over the past 25 years, that it was better to find a new engine or a rebuilt one. Scoured the entire US and found nothing out there since so many Camrys had a ton of miles on them and were not good candidates for a rebuild. Found some high mileage used engines that had more miles than mine. My mechanic suggested I try to find a good "grandma's car with anything less than 100,000 miles on it. OK....back to FB Marketplace, Craigslist, etc. And then, I hit pay dirt. A guy in Miami (I am from the Tampa/Clearwater area) was selling his 95 year old dad's 1996 Camry COUPE (complete with sunroof) with only 67,000 miles on it. Since it was the only option at the time, we bought the entire car, drove down to Miami with a flat bed U Haul behind our Sequoia(!) and got it home. The car was a MESS having sat unused for a long time, quite dirty in the engine bay, and according to the shop, some kind of black OOZE was found in the transmission pan. But the engine sounded fine (seller said he has all the service records from his dad who only drove it within a 5 miles radius from his home)...but hell, only 67,000, certified one owner miles. Got it to the shop, they dropped my engine and the one from the donor car and took the best elements of my car with the best stuff they could pull off the donor car and did a full gasket re-seal on the donor car after a full pressure wash. Looks like new! My mechanic is a Toyota specialist and dialed in the engine far better than original. Even sounded like a turbine engine with that proper "whine". We were able to pull about $4,000 worth of parts from the donor car so we were already ahead of the game. The whole process took about 5 weeks to complete, but I had my car back, perhaps better than ever. So, off on the road I went to check MPG and overall performance. Two, 100 mile mostly highway trips showed the car now getting about 32 MPG when my original engine could only must about 20 in the city and maybe 21 highway. Also had the auto transmission service done (full flush, screen cleaned, etc.) and all new fluid with a special additive to keep the seals like new and reduce wear (the original trans was rebuilt at about 211,000 miles). Car shifts quickly with ZERO slippage. And the pedal to the metal power has increased significantly. After about 1,000 miles, I drained the oil after using Auto-RX (great stuff) to clean any minor sludge issues (there were none, according to my mechanic), and then filled with the following "cocktail": 3 quarts of Mobil 1 High Mileage Full Synthetic oil, 1 quart of Marvel Mystery Oil and one pint of BestLine Nano Diamond Technology Oil additive (more great stuff...USE it!). This is what will go in the car from this point on (I only drive this car about 7,000 miles a year now so she will get two oil changes each year to keep her running clean! I also use ONLY either WIX (NAPA GOLD is WIX), K & N or Mobil 1 Oil filters (NEVER FRAM). I use the car with all the rear seats in the down position so it functions like a small cargo or mini van. TONS of space back there. And as a side issues, the stereo system sounds like a concert hall since all the sound absorbing seats are now out of the way. A bit of serendipity. Next goal is to get it to 500,000 miles. Total cost of the repairs, $6,000.00 and that includes the purchase of the car ($2300). Try to buy a decent car for THAT little. And I should tell you not a week goes buy when someone will ask to buy my Camry. Either at parking lots, on the road, or one guy who drove right into my driveway as I was detailing the car. I kid you not. So, fellow GEEKSTERS, take heart. You now own something that others always wanted. Like getting to date that prom queen back in high school. They call that KARMA. Enjoy.

@@connorPiper0 ur tripping lol. The v6 isn't bad on gas it's just not the best. The v6 only adds like 200 pounds more than the 4 banger..

Can we bring back the rear facing back seat in stead of 3 row suvs

[@loudring6247]

it looks unsafe

[@eurosonly]

You say that now but you'd probably chance your mind if your kids had to sit there. Have you ever seen a car like this get rear ended and what happens to that row of seating? There's nothing left of it. Just make 3 row sedans if anything. It would be like a limo for the masses.

[@loudring6247]

we had a 86 beloved Volvo 740 GL Turbo wagon with rear facing seats and even I knew back in the day when my siblings and I would ride in the back that we would have been in bad shape had we been in a rear end collision but I tell ya what good times man this camry wagon brings back my awesome childhood good ol days gosh I miss them days.

My car is 1995 Toyota Camry Wagon LE with V6 3 litr engine... car is still on the road with it's 2th driver(I AM 2nd owner 2005) now 148600 miles no any problems!!!

[@richgall63]

These Mid 90’s Toyota Camrys were some of the most solid cars EVER made. But the one MUST HAVE option was the V6 engine. It was a hefty upcharge for that power plant but the vehicle literally became 2x better.

[@jimr9466]

I got the original window sticker to my 1996 V6 LE Camry and my 1998 V6 XLE Camry and my 1997 4 cylinder LE Camry. Anyway, it was a $2,000 option to go to the V6. Most expensive option you could get.

[@richgall63]

Jim R I’m sure you agreed that the V-6 was worth the money

[@jimr9466]

@@richgall63 most definitely! Only lose 1 mpg. The V6 sounds much better too!

...my previous 93’ Camry LE 4 cyl. sedan had over 650k miles, until I sold it to salvage yard for $150.00 due to various transmission issues. It was my reliable daily driver.

[@applepoop10]

The V6 is better

[@jimr9466]

@@applepoop10 the V6 is definitely the more enjoyable car but the 4 cylinder is more reliable than the V6. But, The V6 does have the more reliable transmission. I've owned both versions and could say overall the 4 cylinder is the more reliable option. I could go on forever about these legendary Camrys!

[@dorkultra]

i don't think i've ever had the pleasure of seeing one of these on the road, maybe one day. wagons4lyfe

The 85-88 Toyota Cressida wagon also had the double rear wipers.

Back then while in college, I wish I could afford this car. It would have saved me a lot of money by now.

[@steveespinola7652]

The last time I saw a Toyota Camery Wagon was two years ago in the summer time and it was in mint condition but it only had one wiper in the middle of the the back window, the owner took really good care of it.

[@nakoma5]

Whoa there, more comfortable than the quiet, cloud ride of a Taurus?

[@MikeA1]

Good handling, huh? In high school, we were taking a curve on the freeway when my friend lost control of her ‘92 Camry wagon. The car ended up knocking over a freeway sign, rolling 5 times and landing in an embankment. Driver airbag never deployed and all the windows shattered. The good thing was all five of us walked away with just scratches/cuts. I kept the seatbelt that saved my life. So grateful no one was in the 3rd row jump seat because the whole trunk area ended up crushed.

[@BangEmUp1994]

92 Toyota wagon is Fuccin incredible I feel astonished

[@charlie_nolan]

After making a car with 2 rear windshield wipers they made the FJ Cruiser with 3 front windshield wipers

[@rushnerd]

I bought a 71K mile Camry LE (NON-WAGON!) last year in the same "gold" paint. Someone down the street I park has a wagon. I think they look awesome and I always figured they had more power. No complaints on my Sedan Camry though, cargo space is kind of crazy, and it is modern enough to be happy with at $3,750 for a car that will likely go forever.

[@norman6771]

[@earthsperfectphotos9765]

Ive seen quite a lot of these wagons still jugging around from San Diego CA to los Angeles. Although yes low key becoming rarer. But i still see a lot of the 92 - 96 sedans and coupes of both makes .

[@whitb003]

My friends mom had the exact same car when I was a kid, we used to sit in the back and stare at the people in the cars behind us. Those rear seats were probably dangerous but they sure were fun.

[@howtobebasic2122]

The most Bulletproof Toyota's ever made are the Camry's from 1992 to 2001 and the corolla from 1993 to 2002. i see them everywhere and they can last FOREVER!!!
