I really want to say thanks for all the feedback. WOW!! you guys and gals(sue) were very helpful. Its very hard to not buy this car. The price, the color, the options and the miles were perfect. Funny thing is I called the dealer this morning and first thing he said was "I knew you would call me, are you ready to buy your camry?". I asked him about the transmission issues and if hes familiar with it? I told him that ive been reading reviews and he told me that because the camry is for older folks that they want an extremley smooth ride and that the V6 was made for the rav4 so when its in the camry, its so stong that is flares, "its more like an athlete". He said that reviews from consumers are usually much older people, and they are used to lincolns etc. Im 30 years old and ive been around the block way to many times!! I could tell there were things he didnt want to talk about. We were very nice to them and we are not difficult customers!! He ended the conversation with "it looks like this is not the car for you". I have never in my life heard that from a car salesman. Just wanted to say thank you again to everybody here who replied. I hope I can help people in the future. Off to the Honda dealership. Thanks, Yaniv. |

Replying to: yanivsme (Sep 13, 2008 9:54 am) I can understand why you decided to turn down this vehicle. ----- I owned a 2003 four cylinder Honda Accord prior to purchasing this Camry. The Honda also had a 7 year / 100,000 mile Honda extended warranty. The Accord was very good up until 50,000 miles. Between 50,000 miles & 90,000 miles, the Honda Extended Warranty paid for $3,300.00 worth of repairs. (AC Compressor, Motor Mounts, Window Regulator, Radio, Two Cat Converters----etc). This vehicle was serviced every 3,000 miles by the Honda dealer. I did not purchase another Accord because the driver's seat was killing my back! You might want to look at a Chevrolet Impala. That was one of my choices on my "short list," when I purchased the Camry. I did not get the Impala because I could not get the trim package that I wanted! Best regards and lot's pf luck with your search. Dwayne

Replying to: dmathews3 (Sep 17, 2008 7:11 am) I know with the I4-5 speed we have, once it is in 5th gear, the computer will 'lock up' the torque converter, which has an effect of dropping a couple hundred rpms off the tach at highway speeds. If you were watching the tach when shifting, you would think that the 5 speed was actually a 6 speed. It may be that the V6-6speed model he referenced can lock up in both of the real 5th and 6th gears, making it seem like an 8 speed. Don't know, only guessing. |
