Living Below Your Means: Why My Toyota Camry is My Ride of Choice

[@Magnetorheological]

That thing will run forever! I still have my '96 Camry that I drove from high school all the way until I was 26 when I got a new car (also a 2018!), and I couldn't bear to sell it...just north of 200K miles and still a solid and reliable (now second) car!

Keep you fluids fresh and that thing will run forever

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

Most cars get totaled from accidents or rust. Changing fluids besides the engine oil is a waist of time and money.

@ a jug of new coolant is only $20 and rated for 150k miles

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

@@XXtheJUMPoffXX Yes, but the labor. Getting all the air out of the system is a pain. Top it off and keep driving.

Got 200k miles on my camry 2021 and still running nice, take care of the car and it will take care of you.

I have no idea how I came across your video, but I’m glad I did. I really enjoyed it! Just to help out, the first button is for the auto high beams, which turn on the high beams automatically when no other cars are detected coming toward you. The second button is for traction control. It’s best to keep it on, as it helps the car maintain grip by controlling traction. If it’s off, you’ll usually see a warning on the dashboard.

@@abdulrahmanabdulla4298 Yes during Covid as a traveling nurse she traveled back and forth from South Florida to California/Washington and NY/NJ and some small states in between for several years. She refused to fly to make more $ and be able to commute on her time off in states away from home. She made a lot of money by staying humble and driving an economical car.

I got 99 Honda accord lx it has 245k miles still runs like champ no problems whatsoever 💪

[@mistah_nahamsha]

My grandpa had a 2003 Highlander. He gave it to my cousin and he drove it until it was totally rotted out. 220K miles. Lasted the longest out of every car he's ever owned. I drive a 2012 Mazda3. It has 137K miles and it's tiny but great. It's got a 6 speed manual and it's comfortable to drive. No point in buying a luxury car when I can just get in the car and know for a fact that it's going to start. I also get like 40 mpg. Since I got it (1 year ago today!) my average is 36.3 but that's accounting for the drop during winter. It's so good in fact that I'm going to buy another one in the future. Also, those buttons on the left of the steering column are traction controll on/off and automatic high beams on/off.

[@Hello123-b7l]

2018 camry is a pretty decent car! I drove a 2021 as a rental. Nice comfortable interior. Only thing I didn't like was the transmission. It felt jerky when accelerating. If you want a decent car, save up the money and buy it with cash. Don't finance. Also don't buy a car too expensive as it will depreciate. You get a car to get to work and make money. Otherwise you are working to pay off your car which is the opposite of what you want to do.

[@yardboy3955]

You made a great choice with the Camry, it’s a great car. It will last you a long time. Like you said it’s reliable and one less thing you have to worry about in life. I like your thinking.

[@themichaelw]

Not to flex too hard on you guys, but I drive a foreign 😎. Yeah, that's right. From the Land of the Rising Sun. a 2011 Toyota Camry. Man, I frigging love that car. It was my first car and it's been with me for almost a decade at this point. I used to beat on that thing driving the wheels off it as a teen. Cooked the pads and warped the rotors being a hooligan, so replaced 'em myself. I change the oil regularly and it has been nothing but a trusty workhorse. Over 100k miles on 'er now and she still scoots like a champ.

[@phild326]

Great video and spot on with everything! At the end of the day all that matters is that you like it and how you see it and how you feel it. Congratulations on your car! I love it! Looks amazing!

Hey Lena, what a great review, keep at it, the personality is infectious it'll for sure pay off in the long run!

[@firedevin1525]

This was recommended to me via my homepage, I'm your 72 sub! But Toyotas are the way to go for reliability, good gas mileage and longevity. I'm happy for you! ~2017 Toyota Corolla owner also living below his means :)

[@thevacdude]

Good cars. My grandparents had two. A 2002 XLE in silver over grey, A 2011 LE in beige over beige. Yours is two generations after their last Camry. An 8th generation.

One Terrific Toyota Camry

[@wesleyjones1169]

I have a 2007 Camry XLE V6 currently with 175k miles barely broken in and it's been a great daily even a perfect road trip car. I'm planning on doing a road trip along the Pacific Northwest up to Canada sometime next summer.

Girl, you're living large. I thought I was going to see a nice plain sedan but that year Camry is so nice I'm going look for one🎉

[@BeReady726]

Jinxes are real lol, every time I tell someone what I'm excited about it goes the wrong way. nice car btw, I have a Camry too and they are awesome. Ironically I realized how much I love Toyota's after working as a valet driver at a high end restaurant. I noticed how simple and easy and solid Toyota's felt and I understood their true value.

[@elfishcoder7287]

Evil eye, google it.

[@ManuelFresh100]

Camry's are the best. It's better to buy used/ low mileage/ late model year though. New Camry's go for around around 40K now.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Facts matter! A Camry LE is around $29,000. Run away from any dealer attempting to mark that price up.

[@4397evan]

It's interesting to me learning people's definition of living below your means. To me living below your means is a 15-20 year old car. A 2018 Camry is living at the average person's means.

[@xSilentRecon]

me when i bought a 2005 lexus es330 for $6k when i could've bought a $30k new car in cash

[@BillieCristal]

Some people just get on and drive never bother to read their vehicle owners manual. Read doing routine basic and schedule maintenance. And then they wonder why their car break down no matter if is a Toyota.

[@yume8380]

Just want to add, once you have made it, say making $100k a year nobody is stopping you from buying a $40,000 Tesla, or a new Lexus, in the mean time stick with a beater, it will do you good.

[@RMJJ91]

This car isn’t exactly a shitter. It’s pretty much a brand new car. I thought you were driving a 2000’s or 90’s car. But it’s a Toyota so a good choice nonetheless.

[@CorollaChronicles]

Nice car! I'm in kind of an awesome place where all I would ever want, even as a project car, are Toyotas and Lexuses. I mainly drive a 2008 Camry XLE V6, got it used about half a year ago for $8660 and with 149K miles. But if I had things my way, then I would've loved a 90s Camry or Corolla in good condition. I am kind of concerned though- what's that ticking noise at 4:59?

Lol. In Nigeria, driving a 2010 Camry is Luxury. Be grateful dear. You are in a tier 1 country. What you consider average over there is extreme luxury here. 2018 Camry can be affordable for Politicians and company owners here

[@w2xyz]

This is why our country is so messed up. We are conditioned to believe a perfectly nice vehicle like this “isn’t hot” because it’s not a Mercedes or Range Rover. But it’s perfectly respectable to anyone who doesn’t have their head up their ass. Unfortunately most of us in the west do. Refreshing to see a cute young woman exercising wise decision making and not crashing out financially for social media likes

[@bossmedia4028]

I like how this generation is giving up materialism and being more practical. You don’t need a flashy car or a high car note. You can’t go wrong with an older Camry. Any car will take you where you need to go. Thats all that matters.

So that thing is not safe at all, severely behind new car's safety scores. Not always just about whatever is cheap. If u can afford it, u dont need something fancy, but at least get something newer and safer.

It probably has abs, esp and airbags. That’s fine by me. Don’t need those annoying collision warning beeps.
