1996 Toyota Camry LE 4 Cilinders from Dominican Republic
Summary:
Confortable / Reliable
Faults:
I want to buy a Camry LE 94, 95 or 96...
I've heard that the car is very reliable due to its heading on mid-long trips and the balance with comfort. But I've heard that they cause problem on oil leakage at this time...
I mean by 1996, the car was new, at 2000, only 5 year operative, personally I would redo the engine seals as a good owner, so I know that I got to look for this topic when I face my candidate, oil seals, and leakage...
I wanted to say that because some people say its wrong, but its normal that seals fail after the 3rd year of ops, and they last 5 or 6... Today in 2007, after 11 years, its fair to let em leak a bit, all you have to do is give it maintenance...
General Comments:
OK, today, june 2007, I want to buy a Camry LE 94,95 or 96.
What should I lock for besides leakage?
In fact this car is so reliable that its been a little difficult for me look and realize what problems the car usually face...
Here in Dominican republic, and some other countries, they put GAS (LPG or GLP) (Propane) instead of normal gasoline to run those cars, and the camry is one of the most wanted here, even when they have been running on propane for several years, the engine seems to be OK anyway, that seems amazing for me... And also they use DUAL hybrid sistem PROPANE-GASOLINE to reduce the fuel consumption, so:
What other problems should I look for on this car? (I've read all reviews, so don't tell me to do it)
Hope to get the best offer and the more convenient one, I'm going to think about your suggestions and itll be important at the time I face those cars in order to buy, I want something in very good conditions, had many headaches with my last car thinking on repairing things... No more!!!
Thanks in advance for attention...
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Toyota Camrys are great, my only comment is that this person couldn't have owned a Toyota Skylark as the Skylark is a Buick.
