1991 Toyota Camry DX review from North America
"A good car, but avoid these years like the plague"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Avoid the 6 cylinder auto trans Camry built from 1988 - 1991. Transmissions failed at 110,000, leaking before then...
A commercial rebuilder will not even offer a warranty with an auto 6cyl trans from these years because of the poor quality. So count on spending 2-3k on it once you get over the 110,000 mile marker or so.
The engine also had a serious leak - not the seals, but somewhere in the block. About $500-$600 to fix.
