Faults:

The passenger side CV Joint fell off. My uncle had replaced the clutch and I don't think he put the CV Joint back on properly. I later replaced both CV Joints because they were both coming apart because of time and miles.

I replaced the blower motor, the old one was dead.

I replaced the am/fm player with a cd player. The tape deck still works, but needs the am/fm player to work. I still have the tape deck in to fill in the hole.

I replaced power antenna with a manual one, it was cheaper. It got stuck in the up position when my Mom attempted to take it through a car wash.

I replaced the driver side power mirror with manual one, it was cheaper. My Mom had backed it into a carport. Before I replaced the mirror, it caused me not to see another car. The damage from this accident I couldn't find.

I replace all four tires about a year ago.

I replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor, pcv, and fuel filter about a year ago.

I had the timing belt and water pump replaced not too long ago.

The heater and ac work, but it is stuck in on position, I know it isn't stuck in defrost. Air comes out, but I can't change where it goes.

It has a power steering leak, but it isn't enough to worry about.

The driver side wheel bearing is currently shot, I am picking up the part today.

When my Mom owned the car, she got in several accidents, no major damage. It has dents on the hood, fenders, and doors, but none very noticeable. A friend through a rock at the passenger door, leaving a dent, he also kicked the driver side front fender.

My Mom also had the starter, alternator, and battery replaced.

Just about everything leaks, but I keep an eye on it. About all the seals and gaskets are old, I watch it though. I put high mileage 10/40 in the winter and high mileage 20/50 oil in the summer. Year round I put Lucas Oil Treatment in every oil change, along with a new drain plug, and drain plug gasket.

The center console is broken, but I just leave it alone.

The car has NO RUST!

That's about it, I think. The car is about 15 miles away right now. So this is from memory, and I haven't driven it in 2 weeks.

General Comments:

This car won't die. I got it going 111 mph (fastest so far) in 4th gear, I ran out of room to keep accelerating. I haven't topped 5th gear out. I nearly red lined it doing 95 mph in 3rd gear. Red lined it doing 65 mph in 2nd gear and red lined it doing 35 in 1st gear.

I have also taken it over a speed bump doing 65 mph, in second gear!

I have kept up with an M5, new Cadi, a Mustang GT, and a few others. At least for a little while.

I change the oil every 2,500 miles.

I work at a non-Toyota dealership, but I still work on the car at work. I still would buy another Toyota even though I get discounts on other car brands.

I have driven about 800 round trip in 1 day several times with no problems.

The interior is basic, but I don't care. I don't need seat warmers or anything like that, but I would like cup holders.

There are days when I have the choice between an automatic 04 Mustang and my manual 86 Camry. I choose the Camry.

Right at this moment the car is sitting along side of the road. I was on my way to work, when the check engine light came on and the car quit. I will get it fixed and I will keep it, because I know it is worth it. It is in great condition, no dings, everything original, and everything works. Its white with a blue plush interior that has hardly any wear. The previous owner took very good care of it. I paid 750.00 for it and I think I got a deal! I used to have a 1989 Toyota Celica and after 7 years, I still miss that car. I was sincerely in love with that one. I also had a 1990 Nissan, that I also loved. It was very reliable and very economical, but the (poor baby) frame rotted out and I couldn't get it inspected anymore. I cried when they took it away. So I will fix it and keep it, I think it may be a timing belt. When I bought it all the belts and hoses were new, but I don't know about THAT belt. Its probably something minor. It drives like a dream. My boyfriend has a newer import, I won't mention the name, but he is very happy with his, he has 230000 miles on it and He also loves my Camry. His is a 1998 and he asked me if I wanted to trade. Enough said.
