2000 I30T or 2003 Toyota Camry SE V6?

Decisions, decisions.............both are fully loaded...both at the similar price range...........i know i know camries are for more older people, but look at this site, nicest camry kit i've seen...

http://www.vizages.com/toyota-camry-info.htm

Throw in Coilovers and dubs, then we have one pimped out camry.........

I also like the i30t fast thats for sure...my uncle has one blk/blk, i've set my eye on the silver/blk

Sigh...both in the $15,000ish....decisions decisions..


So which one guys? Selling my 95 GLE soon........

IMHO, neither car justifies the sale of the 95. Camry looks nice but still not enough hp. I30T looks nice but again, it's a sideways move to me. I'd save and go for an used 2002+ with the VQ3.5.

I agree 100%. I made this mistake a wile back. a couple cars back I had a 95 gle blk/blk and now I have a 2k. so for the money i spent i should have waited and got a 2k2/2k3. after all the 4th and 5th(00-01) are the same car basically. dont pay all that just cause it looks a lil nicer.

I would only consider the Camry if it was the 210hp VVT-i engine and 5spd auto. They did a mid-year update and phased out the 192hp non-VVTi 4at. Beware, though. Lots of people have been complaining about the 210hp/5at setup with an extremely laggy electronic throttle and very poor / laggy shift mapping on the 5spd auto. If you conside one, take it for a very thorough test drive.

This is one of the nicest looking camry's I've ever seen. The kit really makes it look like a Lexus.
