blue is nice..hmm, i think silver is the best choice..but oh well..red is nice, but you didnt want that kind of red..how 'bout green?
The long black plastic piece(cover) located at the bottom of my Camry windshield on the exterior(between the windshield and the hood) is warping. Is this happening to others? In one spot on the Driver's side, it currently sticks out about 1/3 of an inch from the windshield. The car only has 5500 miles on it, and I think this is unacceptable. Would Toyota fix this or replace it if I complained? I am afraid it will get worse. While taking the car in for service last month, I noticed the same thing has happened on a used Toyota Camry model(97-99) they had for sale, but it was worse! I know this may be minor issue, but I think it shouldn't happen on a newer car this soon.
Thanks for your advice and help.

Silver, blue, red and green are best, IMHO. Silver Camry with tinted windows, black pearl emblem package, and a nice set of aftermarket rims **drooooooool**
Pardon me, I have to go clean my keyboard now!

dark blue i don't like-- plus white and black, which are for those folks who cant decide on a color.

i have a black suv, and its VERY dirty..
I think it has something to do with the "Luxury" emphasis of the XLE model. I personally don't care for it, but I could live with it.

Remember, this car has a salvaged title already. also, the damage done to the car was on the passenger side, near the front of the car (Thank God, it missed the passenger compartment..there was 5 people in the car...the maniac ran a red light and then ran off on foot after the accident). The car could not be started at the scene of the accident.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...we are leaning toward not fixing the car. any car dealers out there? what price would you give for a trade in of a 97 camry V6 xle with a salvage title?
oh and a last note...we bought the car for 10K and then put in about 6k worth of repairs...very bad decision to buy in the first place.
The early production schedule (given in percentages) skipped over the LE V6's a few weeks ago. Has anyone seen an LE V6 in their area or has anyone been able to place an order for one? NOT XLE or SE please ... looking for LE V6 production information.
Thanks
Oh yes, if they ever decide to make them it will be an LE V6, Super White, Oak interior, GI option.
Rest assured, c0ke, there is an LE with the V6. I have seen one at a dealer before the official Camry introduction.

Now the problem comes down to what car to buy...we're spendng 5500 on a used 96 civic dx (66k miles in good condition) and using the rest on a downpayment for another vehicle (<=20k total)...
any suggestions? need something w/ 4 doors (close to the size of the camry) yet w/ good performance...thinking about the sentra SER spec V...\
I'd like to 'upgrade' this car a little bit - install a TRD air filter and muffler.
Does anybody know about the difference in hp's after that? If you don't know for 02 - what's for 98-01 camry?
I've had it since Monday and love it.

Rawie4me has seen one LE V6 ... could have been a special order I suppose but I'm wondering if that's going to be the only way to get the LE with a V6. Why do I want the V6 since the new I4 is so peppy? Good question ... but unless they've done something different in the 02's then the only way to get 4-wheel disk brakes w/ABS is on a V6.
Got any insider folks out there? ... Mackabee seems to be tied down in one of those groups ragging about the "inconsiderate salesfolks"(or whatever it's called). Surely there's someone reading this who knows if the Camry V6 production now includes the LE. Else I'm gonna have to track down my salesman and that usually means going to a dealer.
i am getting tempted to trade in MY camry!
LE stick and automatic, SE V6 and 4cyl in sticks and automatics, LE V6 and SE V6 and XLE as well. We have it all. Perhaps Mackabee is in a part of the country that limits their in-flow of certain models they perceive won't sell well.

Every single minor scratch shows 10 times more thant most other colors and the car looks dirty 1/2 hour after you washed it.
Trust me, stay away from black!
any advice or feedback on a good deal for a base model 2002 Camry LE with PW/PL, CD/Cassette, cruise,... no power seats, no sunroof, etc...
I was given the quote of 19.8K before all the 'fees'. is that a good deal?
Also why is Toyota mailing these $15 gas vouchers if you go for a test drive in SE Toyota region - is that something new?
But thanks to all for responding. I'm not in a hurry to trade but I was hoping to work a deal in the next month or so. This new information gives me a couple more issues to consider.
Guess I'll brave a showroom long enough to pick up a brochure!
Hate to followup my own posts but LE specs on Toyota's Web page:
"Brakes Power-assisted ventilated front disc/rear drum (power-assisted ventilated front, solid rear disc on V6 models) "
It's a pretty good car, even if the exterior design was a bit conservative by 2002 standards. But the best thing about the Camry is its interior design--the ergonomics are quite good, and the quality of the interior materials is definitely comparable to the current-generation Honda Accord, the benchmark for use of quality interior materials.
Edmunds and consumer reports said the 97 up seats were not comfortable for people over 180 ponds -
what are the new seats like?
I have really been taken by surprise by the comfort and quality in the SE V6 models. The ones with the NAV system, leather/sunroof etc (packages with codes "GT HD GU CF") are one of the finest cars I have driven with Toyota. MSRP is a little over $30,000 but whatta car! The seats are top quality for comfort and leather, and the handling is very good as well. Colors are all a better blend this time around, and while the exterioe of the average new Camry seems unremarkable, don't let it fool you. Drive the V6 SE (or even the 4 cyl SE) and you will be pleasantly surprised.
The dealer told me the Camry 2002 V6 has the same engine, transmission (automatic), and suspension, as a Camry 2000 V6. I think the style of Camry 2000/2001 was much better.
Personally, I feel the SE 4-banger is fast enough to meet all my needs. I don't race, not too many hills around here, and its price will be right soon enough.
Also, I did notice a couple of build quality issues when I first saw them. I hope these are isolated events and not a sign of worse things. Overall, it's a nice-looking car that won't offend anyone and won't make you poor with gas, insurance, and repairs.
