1987 Toyota Camry LE review from North America

"Average?"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Front left wheel bushing had to be replaced at 90,000 miles. Part around 15 dollars did it myself. Very hard to replace.

Starter had to be replaced at 85,000 miles. Flywheel is missing a few gears.

Some part near the left front wheel had to be replaced at 100,000 miles, the cost was 300 dollars. The same part on the front right wheel at about 110,000 miles.

Catalytic converter and muffler had to be replaced at 100,000 miles. Muffler again at 125,000 miles.

Oil pressure sensor replaced at about 90,000 miles due to leaks. Cost around 8 dollars.

Bolts had to be tightened that hold the doors together at 125,000 miles.

Gas tank fill pipe had to be replaced at 110,000 miles. Found part at the junk yard for $10.

Wheel alignment at about 100,000 miles.

Break rotor replaced in the front wheels at 90,000 miles. Rotors 160 dollars.

New battery at 120,000 miles.

New Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve at 125,000 miles, price $140.

New Fuel Evaporative Emission Control canister at 125,000 mile.

Idle speed adjusted at 120,000 miles.

Hood does not pop up. Has to be forced up.

Hand break broke, never fixed.

Trunk has holes, leaks water.

Lots of rust.

Cruise control has minor problems.

When driving 65mph in windy conditions the front windows create a very loud whistling noise.

In winter conditions the heater starts heating after 20 to 30 minutes of driving. Feet are always cold in the winter. Sometimes the transmission will not shift into overdrive.

Air conditioner broke at 85,000 miles, never fixed.

Spark plug wires failed twice.

Interior center console broke.

General comments?

Good car if you know how to work on them. Giving this car to a mechanic is to expansive to own.
