1987 Toyota Camry LE 4 cylinder from North America
Summary:
A reliable bargain
Faults:
Automatic seatbelt works only when door is shut several times.
General Comments:
This car will not die!
This car has been in my family for 15 years, and lived through 16 Iowa winters!
The car is very smooth and extremely quiet.
The level of comfort and amenities is very high for a 1987 car.
Just add oil regularly and that's all it takes!
The brakes are slightly squishy compared to my previous Audi 5000.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have an '87 Camry LE that I am selling (174K) - not because there is anything wrong with it - but, because I can't justify the insurance (I don't drive much) and I can't tolerate all the idiot drivers on the road. I would rather ride my bicycle.
I have had this "loss of power" thing since I bought it three years ago, but I read a comment from one user who said that it was a problem common to the '87s. An easy fix to this issue is to simply drop it into low gear and then back up to drive and the car is fine! When the car is running at full power; it will do 0 to 60 in 6-7 seconds... not bad for a four cylinder! I love this car (actually manufactured in Japan) ; it is 100% reliable.
