My wife has a 2003 Camry {her third one} with over 125,000 miles. She was going to buy a new one but this one has been so trouble free that she can't bring herself to trade it in.

When she does buy a new car, there is no doubt what it will be, the only thing that she'll have to decide on is the color, because it will be a 4 door, 6 cylinder, Toyota Camry XLE same as this one.

I drove Mercedes for 35 years and 4 years ago switched to a Toyota RAV 4, All Wheel Drive and never looked back. Mercedes makes a terrific car. but on a price/performance basis, the Toyota beats it hands down.

I can buy two RAV 4s for the same price as a single Mercedes {I know I don't get the hood ornament} and have cash left over.

Greybeard, I’d like to second what Alaska wrote above.

If you’re “thinking Toyota”, take a look at the RAV4 line as well as the Camry’s. Especially if you live in an area with snowy winters.

I have a 2005 RAV (”s” version) that’s been an excellent vehicle. 113,000 miles and all I’ve done is change the oil and put new tires/brakes on it (also changed the oil in the gear cases, it’s all-wheel-drive).
