My Camry is about to die at 132k miles. It has been good to me but it is no denying, I need a new car. I'd prefer certified preowned but I'd only have 9k to put down max. Might be helped out by fam as I graduate college soon so those gifts will be coming around. So I suppose they might match it. Side note I live in the NE, so weather is pretty shitty and unpredictable so looking for AWD only. Thanks.
Only 132k on a camry and its dying? You should probably look into learning how to maintain a car before getting a new one. My 03 350z has 171k miles and runs as strong as it ever has.
I've done great maintaining my car. It needs repairs that cost as much as the car due to other people who share with me when I'm at school and have no need for it. Oh and it's much older than you think 98' Camry. I believe it was in 2 accidents before I got it.
