2016 Toyota Camry final update! Lots of miles!!

[@FlexSZN23]

I have the 4 cylinder 2017 Camry SE, it’s currently at 127K and it still feels the exact same as it was brand new. Starts right up every time in the brutal Minnesota winters and handles the snow like a champ. One of the best cars ever built in my opinion.

[@rmyr4359]

Same car 117K now ❤

[@drivedb7]

Though bland, these Camrys are a little under appreciated. They’re extremely reliable, the build quality is good, they’re very comfortable and have “good enough” road manners. In 10-20 years, they’ll probably be remembered as the 3rd and 4th gen Camrys are today as unstoppable and dependable workhorses.

[@armedinbama]

I inherited a 2000 Toyota Echo from my grandfather in 2003. It had about 40k on it when I got it and had been in a couple of minor accidents. I sold it in 2014 with 267k miles on it. I replaced tires, brakes, belts, water pump, mass air sensor and one battery. I could never have hoped for a better free car!

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

I liked the one I had.

[@bradhampton6457]

The Camry served you well Tyler. I have an 05 Camry for my daily driver. But i'm a Mopar guy from way back. I have a 2016 Chrysler 200 and a Ram truck also.

[@mjmcomputers]

We share the same thoughts on Scotty. I grew up with him on the local news station and he would answer viewers questions and he gave out a lot of bad advise.

[@97I30T]

Yup. Like Tyler said, Scotty has absolutely no clue what he's talking about more than half the time. I genuinely don't understand why so many people treat Scotty like he's some kind of automotive god.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

@@97I30T He's a clickbait scammer.

[@666cemetaryslut]

Guy is an idiot, I cant stand him

[@kennethbrogdon5701]

My best friend has a 14 Corolla and I ragged him about buying a bland penalty box, but driving it a handful of times, and riding in it a bunch, I’ll say it’s quite pleasant. It’s got 130,000 on it and he hasn’t had a moment’s trouble out of it. He told me he will drive it till the wheels fall off.

[@mikeskipworth9464]

My brother has a 2013 SE that he got last year after the untimely demise of his Avalon in a fender bender. VVT is a magical thing. Super flat and fat torque curve for the rated power level and being a 4 cylinder. Great cars.

[@okeydokey2337]

The 2015-17 camry is a legend of reliability. Change the oil regularly. That's all you need to do.

[@dynatrak]

The company I for for apparently doesn't believe in retiring a company vehicle. I've been in my issued 2006 Tundra since 2009. It had 30,000 miles at the time, now it has 498,000. it's needed several items repaired by the time it reached 250,000 miles, just the typical moving parts that wear out on any vehicle, no major breakdowns. Still on it's original 1GR-FE v6, transmission, AC compressor with factory charge. I run those Michelin Defenders as well, and get 90-100,000 miles out of them. No interior or exterior trim pieces have broken/fallen off, or seats torn up. Headliner is still perfect. Never a problem with power windows, and locks either. It's held up well, and I have no complaints. Looking forward to see your next company vehicle.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Good GRIEF!! LOL... The retirement mileage has trended upwards. 20 years ago when they used Ford Tauruses it was about 100k or 2 years. Now it's 150,000 and 4 or 5 years.

[@armedinbama]

I always did like Michelins for a highway truck. Great ride and tread life. Initial purchase price can be hard to swallow. But like my grandfather used to say, "Buy once, cry once." CHEERS! 🇺🇸

[@dynatrak]

@@TylersNeighborhoodGarage Haha, especially for this company! Fortunately, I don't have to spend a dime out of pocket. I just let them know what needs to be done, the price, and they say get it done. I tell new hires to take care of their issued vehicle, because they won't be getting a new one anytime soon.

[@dynatrak]

@@armedinbama Indeed, that's great advice from your Grandfather.

[@Brararaf101]

Ever change trans fluid or all orig

[@klc317]

Sounds like a great car! I agree with you. Im provided a car through my company as well and I try to keep it nice and clean as possible inside and out since its basically my office. Some of the other folks at the company, they're cars look like a rolling trash can inside and they just figure its not mine so why care attitude. Have some respect and be happy with what you have is my opinion.

[@armedinbama]

☝️Yup, this!☝️ CHEERS! 🇺🇸

[@gavinwolfe3238]

I bought one of these recently when I realised I was doing far too many miles for the Subaru Levorg 2L turbo I had before. Just my work/run around car doing a fairly long commute so the simple Camry is perfect for that running. Just cruises on the highway an hour or 2 a day so it should last forever I think! Not the flashiest car but it’s nice enough, and we use my wife’s car for the family on weekends. Up to 139,000km so far with nothing but oil changes.

[@shepshepherd]

The Camry has to be the ultimate embodiment of a car as a domestic appliance, which is no bad thing in my book.

[@Ian1964]

An honest recommendation. 4+ years of high mileage and use. The reliable Camry's 👍

[@teeemack]

I bought My 2015 Camry SE brand new, I now have 127,000 miles. I have replaced the tires and a battery. I still have the factory wipers and replaced the radio because I love Pioneer head units. That is it. I also have a 1999 Solara with 279,00 miles and a 1993 Corolla with 230k and they all still drive like new.

[@jmurray01]

If I had to buy a modern car it would be a Toyota hands down, can't beat the reliability. Don't get me started on Scotty Kilmer!!

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Well, he does own a classic! A 1994 Celica! 😁😁

[@DieselBricks]

Only thing that surprised me there was the spark plug life, that's some miles on 1 set. I'm guessing Honda Accord for the replacement, about the only thing I can think of that you wouldn't pass on and just wait for another Camry.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Haha they don't buy Hondas...wish they did.

[@DieselBricks]

Well that ruins my guess, intrigued to see what it is now though. Honda stopped importing the Accord to the UK a few years back which is grim. Slim pickings here if you want a decent saloon car, country seems to have gone mad for small and extra small SUVs.

[@classicxl]

what did u got for a new ride

[@barryaustin6742]

How’s it going! I ran into one of your videos a while back. Back when you were working on the infiniti Q45s. I wanted to ask you about the hood hinges. Do you think it would be an easy job ? Also do you still have any of those 45s lying around ?

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

No man, they are all gone. I never had to deal with the hinges. I think the NICO forum has the factory service manuals posted online for those cars if you need some direction with it.

[@rich8607]

I’m surprised you don’t do something In the car industry as particular you are with them

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Kinda crazy but my career did a 180 many years ago.

[@JaxTropics]

I am confused... scotty kilmore loves toyotas... did i miss something?

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

He made a video at one point claiming Toyota reliability had went in the toilet.

[@Brararaf101]

I got 19 camry I wish i got this style. My old camry 320k orig mostly everything orig front end only tires brakes oil

[@PLATINUM2U]

A camry a day keeps the Tow truck away 😎 P.s. get the v6 for enjoyment 😉 💪😎

[@MisterMikeTexas]

One step above base Camry sounds good to me. But I would take one in black with some tasteful shiny alloys to offset it. As for Scotty, is he dissing Toyota again? One minute, he says it's the greatest since sliced bread, the next he's "mad as hell" at the brand. I wish he'd make his mind up!

[@97I30T]

Scotty thinks that Toyotas made before 2007 or so are the greatest things ever but he thinks the newer Toyotas are crap. Clearly, that is absolutely not true based on what we are seeing in this video.

[@oldcarnocar]

scotty dosent know!

[@armedinbama]

Don't tell Scotty! 🤘😁🤘

[@mikeskipworth9464]

😂😂😂

[@crazyandroiddude96]

What you gonna get next?

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Stay tuned.

[@millionmilegarage9587]

Truly amazing how durable cars have become, especially ones from Japanese companies. Imagine how much maintenance it took to go 167,000 miles in a Valiant🙂. Our Maxima and Odyssey have treated us better than any other car we have owned. Scotty Kilmer is a hack!!! That’s why people watch him😄

[@NCAFBA]

Scotty is such a hack. It is amazing though. My friends have a 2002 Maxima that is VERY close to 300k, I think it's at 294k and it honestly runs amazingly well for what it is. Exhaust is a bit loud but other than that it really purrs like a kitten.

[@GhettoWagon]

Good paintless guy can pop that hood dent out . Those old Toyota's were good Cant say what they are making in 2021 will hold up as good. What not even plugs? No wheel bearings either? We used to change alot of wheel hubs/ bearings at the shop. Maybe it was just NY roads killing them

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Nope, no plugs or wheel bearings.

[@jsciarri]

Toyota does make very decent and reliable cars. But they have one of the most annoying ad campaigns in automotive history as far as I'm concerned. That spokesperson Jan acts so robotic and phony that it stuns me how those commercials help Toyota sell cars.

[@Volusiaev]

This video is very strange, to me! I've had probably had 20 (Company) cars issued to me. Never once was I asked, nor expected to pay for maintenance on any of them.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

I don't pay for the maintenance. The company does.

[@brianandrews7099]

Its too bad your company’s leasing company doesn’t give you the option to buy the car when it comes time to turn it in. You’d make a small fortune on selling it! My father in-law was in outside sales and got company cars for 30 years. He was able to purchase his old car at turn in. At that time anyway, the prices were basically wholesale. He never bought any but my wife and I bought his 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix with around 70,000 miles back in 2001. We passed on his next turn in (2002 Grand Prix) because it was too much like the ‘98 and we didn’t see any reason to buy the same basic car over again when we didn’t need it. His last car (before he retired) was a 2004 or 2005 Dodge Intrepid. He intended to buy it as his retirement car but it gave so much trouble during his time with it, that he decided against it. His leasing company only dealt with American brands. At the time, he could only chose from midsized four doors from a catalog but he could chose the color and pay up for option packages out of pocket. He has probably put more miles on more Ford Taurus over the 1980s-1990 than anyone I have ever known. I agree about “Click Bait Scotty”! I don’t need to hear about how Toyota are perfect and that any other car built since 1985 is and will always be junk! I would never trust a mechanic that hates all car makes but one. I think he started making KZbin videos as a last ditch effort to keep eating after he pissed off his last customer.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

They buy them, not lease. Some folks that have retired bought their cars if they were low-mileage.

[@itsallrobbish]

Good video, it’s amazing these don’t sell well, or at all in a Europe. Everyone wants so called upmarket Beemers, Audis and Mercs, I guess it’s some kind of Masochism…..spend loads on replacement parts and servicing! What’s wrong with Scotty Kilmer, he loves Toyotas, doesn’t he?

[@jamespn]

I’d have to wonder that if Tyler can drive a Camry to 167,000 with noting more than oil changes, a couple of sets or tires, one battery, and a set of wiper blades, then I’d have to believe all the recommended fluid changes (wallet flushes) only serve to line the pockets of repair shops and dealers.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

It was like clockwork that the "service advisor" would come out to the waiting area and try to upsell me on fuel injection services each time I took it in for servicing. I politely declined. I followed the schedule on oil changes, had the air filter changed every 30K, the cabin filter every 50K and otherwise that was it. Nothing else was required to be done by the manual. My co-worker had this car's "stablemate" and it went 178K with no extra costs involved.

[@kyboy5]

Mopar or I'm walking

[@vicaras1]

So ooo many better cars. Don't limit yourself

[@Mail4dalej]

I hear you on Scotty. He's been able to ride the wave in to retirement without turning a wrench. Serious click bait but I guess good for him.
