If there’s a 2000 Toyota Camry that ticks just about all of the right boxes, it’s probably this one. The seller says this sedan is a one-owner example that was frequently used for short trips, and with just 33,000 miles, it’s likely seen very few long-distance drives over the past 25 years. This one’s also the high-trim-level XLE model, and I have to agree with the seller that the first person who checks out this car might want to buy it. This 2000 Camry XLE is located in Seekonk, Massachusetts, and can be seen here on Craigslist, where the owner has set an asking price of $10,500. A big thank you goes out to Mitchell G. for sending us the tip here!
The Camry got a mild redesign on the front end for the 2000 model plus some slightly upgraded taillights, with this one looking much like it would have back when the car was new. Those plastic headlights up front show little to no fading, so unless they’ve been replaced, I’m guessing this Toyota has spent most of its downtime in a garage. It’s not confirmed that the paint is original, but if this one’s ever gotten a respray, it appears to be a high-quality job. The factory alloy wheels are said to be wearing fresh tires, and the brakes are also stated as new.
Even in the XLE model, a 4-cylinder engine was the standard powerplant, and it’s great to find that this one’s got the optional 3.0-liter V6. The seller mentions that the timing belt was changed at 28,000 miles, and more recent service includes new serpentine belts, a new alternator, and an oil change. With the low miles and the longevity these motors are known for, there are probably years of life left here, plus the seller says his car got a perfect score on the Carfax report.
Stepping inside reveals an interior in well-preserved condition and loaded with accessories, including a sunroof, power leather seats, and a factory JBL Stereo system. The price of $10.5k may sound a bit on the high-end for a Camry that’s now a quarter-century old, but all things considered, it just might be in the ballpark for this one. How much would you be willing to spend for this 2000 Toyota Camry XLE?
My 1998 has that V6. Kinda hard to work on but I love the torque and gas mileage. I have 459,000+ miles on her trying to get half a million. Best car I ever had.
This with only 30k on it for 10 grand has to be one of the best deals out there, not a sports or muscle car, but a well made car, this will go forever, if they repairs receipts for brakes and timing belt, you have nothing to do, new tires too, comfy nice 25 year old Toyota.
Parts for these are cheap and plentiful like the new headlights on this one. I had a 96 with the more dependable 4 cylinder, best car I’ve ever owned.
My dad had a 1989 V6 Camry he bought new. As reliable as the day is long, and surprisingly quick and fun to drive. I wonder why they did the timing belt so soon on this one. Maybe a bad tensioner? Toyota’s answer to the Honda Accord. Both great, reliable cars that were comfortable and fun to drive.
Most Toyotas seem reliable as the tides 🌊 🚕
The rubber on belts and hoses does get brittle and dry and go bad with time, not just mileage.
You won’t get any “ferrin’ guff” from me on this one. Even a Yankee Doddle Dandy like me, knows this was the most important car ever. Enough to convince even me? Good heavens, no, but a better built, modern car, you just won’t find. Toyota Camrys have inundated the drag racing scene, previously held by Firebird. Stock cars too, but that has begun to change a bit.
A great find, but certainly not rare. These low mile beauties will come out of the woodwork for years to come.
When my wife insisted I sell my Dodge Neon, we replaced it with a Camry like this. Comfortable, great highway cruiser, amazing MPG. Fun factor “Zero”. We both got tired of sliced white bread and bought a turbo Subaru Forrester. Holy smokes batman, what a difference in a commute! We still have this car to this day with 170K miles on it.
It would seem that 10K is a lot for an old car, but these Camrys are so good, and new car are 3x that price so this might just be the bargain of the week. Or perhaps that Neon for 1/3 as much.
Great car. It won’t last long.
The 4 cyl was the preferred engine for low maintenance and low maintenance costs. Once every quarter century, whether you think it needs it or not, replacing a rubber timing belt is a good plan. Tires too, even if they still have tread and no cracks (with the low miles, this car could be running the OE tires).
Needs a five-speed manual transmission for that money.
Relive your glory days of running to the grocery store, when mom needed milk, and tossed you the keys.
Timing belt at 28K miles doesn’t sound very Toyota-ish. Just wondering why so early. We have a 2016 Camry in the fleet along with a 2014 Corolla. We replaced the timing belt on the 2014 at 60K miles as it was going to be the Pilot’s commuter car from Charlottesville to Dulles for a year to be on the safe side.
Probably because it aged out.
I think this is the cleanest and best deal I have seen on this site. Must be an estate selling this.
We had the exact 2000 Camry, same color, options and engine. We got almost 300K miles from that car, one of the most trouble cars I ever owned. Traded a ’97 Seville with 24K miles for this after Cadillac said I needed a new Northstar engine due to excessive oil consumption. With the Camry, I never looked back and cherished it for many trouble free years!!
Peak Toyota.
