IS THERE A "Lemon/Problem" year for camrys between 2000-2005??
 
I am looking to buy a used Camry from between 2000-2005. I have had a 1997 and a 1999 both with virtually no problems for hundreds of thousands of miles. I guess Im looking to avoid a "high" problem year. Is there a year to avoid. Please be specific.

The Generation 4 Camry extended to 2001. The 00 and 01 models would be comparable to the 97-99.

In 2002 Toyota introduced a new 4 cylinder engine. Some owners are now experiencing problems with high oil burning and head bolt failure. There are a couple of threads at this post on both of these issues. This engine also was the start of electric throttle system usage.

The V6 engine remained the same.

I personally would avoid the new 4 cylinder, 2AZ-FE.
