1985 Toyota Cressida 2.8L I6
Summary:
A solidly built 80s classic
Faults:
Alternator (aftermarket) was bad when I bought it.
Steering rack was bad when I bought it due to the previous owner not replacing split rubber boots.
General Comments:
Absolutely love it!
Bought a rust-free example in Texas for only $300. Replaced the alternator and worn-out steering rack, and drove my 29 year old gem home in air conditioned comfort, 1200 miles without a problem. Comfortable, quiet and reasonably sporty for its day... The car is very solid with NO squeaks, rattles or noises common to American cars of that age.
A true 80s classic that I'll be enjoying for many, many years to come.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

If this is supposed to be a review of the Cressida, why are you referring to the "Baretta"?
