How the 2012 - 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY saved The Popular Camry 'Muscle' in Nigeria | A PERFECT CAR

NOTE : THIS CAR IS NOT FOR SALE ‼️
The 2012 Toyota Camry is the 9th generation Camry that came in 2012 to save the popular Toyota Camry that seemed perfect but was actually problematic...from the melting interior, to the engine oil guzzling problem and the total craze around it when it started selling in Nigeria.
The 2012 Camry came as a subtle looking car with a wider body angle and just fit in perfectly into the class of vehicle that the Camry represented all over the world.
This car rarely develops issues as long as you are buying a low mileage version and it has an interesting feel when driving also...it is a perfect daily driver car in Nigeria and it is very much available in the Nigerian used car market as Tokunbo and Naija used.
This car is a best buy and I hope to hear your experience with this particular car. WE LOVE IT SO MUCH

[@dapsonlou77]

I Upgrade to this car after escaping my 2010 muscle. The car spends more time at the mechanic than at home. My mechanic told me to get the 2012. I ended up with a 2014 camry. I was so excited because it doesn't shake like the muscle when you turn on your ac. Long story short, the car lacks power, the ride is not smooth. The v6 drives better, but Nigerian mechanic will lie to you that V6 is problematic, even though the V6 is better than the 4 cylinder. I got bored with the camry lack of power and switch to a 2012 Eclass. Best move I ever made. I've not been mechanic in over a year. You change your oil once a year, unlike the camry every 3months. The cost of running a Eclass is cheaper than a camry. I found this out after many years of suffering with Toyota because I always see everyone driving it.

[@toluwalopedada2815]

[@motleydude73]

Not sure why you've had so much trouble with your Camrys, they are renowned universally for being uber reliable. I have a 2010 and it costs me $150 a year in basic maintenance. I've owned it for 3 years / 35000 kms. No issues at all. Perhaps yours had poor servicing before you bought it.

Get the V6 with the 2GR-FE..the 1AR-FE in this 2014 camry will burn oil more than the 2AZ-FE if poorly maintained..you have to change your oil religiously with the recommended oil..0W-20/5W-20/5W-30

[@ekinefamily4610]

Whether well maintained or not, the 2AR-FE engine of Camry made in 2010-2011 burns oil at high mileage. It's like Toyota intentionally made some of them burn oil even though you do maintenance timely and properly. They'll tell you only 2AZ engines burn oil, but that's a FAT lie.

[@nnaemekacharlesezichukwu816]

This is another generation of the 2002-2005(big for nothing) Camry . Everything in front, only seatbelts at the rear. Electro pneumatic steering breaks before 100k miles, mystery clunking sounds from the rear. Super lightweight, you don’t wanna play roughy with. Exterior is a beaut.

So sad the XSE trim is not available in Nigeria, and though it doesn't have a manual transmission, it does have a manual mode. On some trims like the SE trim, you will see small paddles at the side of the steering wheel, you can use them to change gears yourself.

[@damilolaakanni]

XSE wasn't a thing until the current generation (2018+). SE was the sporty trim until then.

[@dapsonlou77]

Another thing about the check engine light always on,on this car, that's because you mechanic stole your catalyst converter. When ever your 02 censor codes comes on in a Toyota, just know your mechanic has stole your catalyst. I lost so many catalyst to Nigerian mechanic, till I educated my self on it. Always have a mechanic confirm your catalyst before he takes your car and have another one confirm in his presence when he return your car. Know this and know peace.

[@chibuzoroduche4058]

It's because of the customs duty you pay. It's 70% of the value of the car. So for instance, if you pay 60million Naira for a brand new G-wagon from Yankee plus 70% Duty, the cost of the car is already 102million Naira on getting to Nigeria Then if you are buying in Nigeria from a dealership they will add their own profit margin to the cost of the car. That's why the princes of brand new cars in Nigeria a ridiculously expensive.

Hi, what’s the difference between the LE & SE?

[@234drive]

The LE has fabric seats while the SE has a mix of leather and fabric. The SE also has a different and more aesthetically pleasing front bumper with fog lights and it mostly comes with paddle shifters and a V6 engine as opposed to the 4 cylinder engine in the LE…that’s the major difference

[@tesfayebaba]

20-25k on maintenance, I don’t think so maybe 30k plus. If people used the recommended engine oil of their car they’ll be spending a lot. SE feels better and has a lighter steering.

[@sibidi894]

I see people put bigger tyres on this car in order to improve/increase the ground clearance. What are the disadvantages of the bigger tyres? I read somewhere that it could wear out the transmission faster. Is that true?

[@234drive]

Yeah that is true...bigger tyres also distort the suspension and the overall drive and feel of the car.
