i just bought myself a brand new car, 2005 toyota camry le silver. this is my first car, and i'm paying for it with my salary at 1.9% rate.

i was a little nervous at first because i had to drive it home from the dealer, which was 30 miles away. i was afraid i'd get some scratches on my new car, but it rides so smoothly.

it's nice. happy.gif

Ok, dont enjoy your car, crash it as soon as possible, hope you dont take anyone with you EVER... (Just joking... biggrin.gif, enjoy your car!!!)

Remember when they compared an iPod to the Camry? You will now see how awesome (and moreso than iPods) the car is... I have a 1998 LE myself, tis very nice smile.gif
dreamz
thanks, all. smile.gif

i also had an interesting experience on the way to the dealership. i took the train up north, and i pulled out some reading material, "essays in existentialism" by sartre, when the dude next to me starts staring at me and my book. then he says, "so you're into philosophy, eh?"

we started talking (well, he did most of the talking) about eastern philosophy, and then he gave me his phone number. i've never been given a phone number by some random guy before, so it was a little strange.

Very reliable car.. we actually have three camry's in our household.. possibly a fourth soon!

Congratulations on your first car! I wish I can buy new car too. Camry is an excellent economical car, despite its famous brand and you'll get Toyota's reliability. Nice choice! thumbs_up.gif

1.9% ): I'll be lucky to nab 8%
chconline
wow you got a camry for ur first car??!?! Lucky bum... laugh.gif
dreamz
yeah, it's reliable. that was one of the reasons for getting the camry (my dad kept pushing for it. tongue.gif).

drthodt, find someone to cosign. you might get a good deal.

i'm lucky, though. i had some good credit, and i just graduated, so i got the low rate and a special college grad rebate.

chconline, do people not usually get a camry for their first car? biggrin.gif my dad couldn't decide between the honda accord and the toyota camry, but we ended up with the camry. he gave me several thousand for the down payment, and i'm paying the rest.

good luck getting your car, altezza! smile.gif

i dont really like that car. But goodluck with it.

Where'd you hear that. o_O My family has an 03' Camry and its running great.
panacea
the upside: its good reliable car, luxury too

congratulation on your purchase - very nice for first car !


the downside: me being picky

camry is a family car. its not very sporty at all (even the sport versions)
the handling shows that.

since you are young and its you first car accord would have being much funner to drive
the coupe version would be amazing !!!

but since your dad made the choice for you you have fun with it.

i know at least 6 people who own a brand new silver camry le and there are at least 10 of them in 5 minute drive radius.... its the car of choice for many many people -
it is so for a reason - good car, but for same reason i would never get it.

just my 2 cents. congrats again.

ps. did you get silver dashboard instruments? if you did kudos to you, they are pretty cool smile.gif the regular package sucks, and the loaded one is mint.

ohh and did you get the nav system?
NeoXY
lol!!!...yeah!!...asian pride!... laugh.gif laugh.gif rofl.gif rofl.gif ....oh shut up...

anyways...congrads...

Congrats, I hope you enjoy it. My first car is my 2000 camry xle v6, got it earlier this year since I am a poor college student that can't make big payments on a new car smile.gif.

Nice! Congrats. Hey, this is a bit off-topic, but is the BMW 645 sexy or what? I would give anything to get one of those!
Beastage

Congrats Dreama! biggrin.gif

The Camry is a very good choice.. I hope you love it much as the other camry owners will.. Make sure you take care of it less than *cough* wink.gif anyway.. have fun man..

Camrys Rule. Just sold a '93 model we had for 6 years. It had 293560 miles on it. No kidding. Ran great up until we sold it. Replaced it with a used 2001 model (love the taillights) with 32000 miles.

Good choice. Toyota, especially the camry, is very dependable. While it may be "boring" and common, it really doesn't matter if you're happy with it. I don't think you're a car enthusiast, so I think it's an excellent choice.
dreamz
wow, this thread is still going? it's so old. laugh.gif

yeah, it's a great car. it's so smooth and nice, and extremely spacious. thanks for all the comments. smile.gif

indeed, the controls on the wheel are a nice touch, and i use them every day. i agree, i love the lights. i can't explain why, but they just look so nice.

nope, not a car enthusiast at all. i spend my money on books, computers, and guitar equipment, but i love the look of the camry, despite what others think. i still love my car. happy.gif
