You bought a car with 95,000. miles and gripe about a missing jack? I guess that's Toyota's fault.

Also, warn carpets, Hello. it's a car with 95,000. miles. Could be the previous owner (s) were hard on it, or even normal wear and tear.

I owned two Totota Cressida's. I loved them both. Very good ride and reliable. Best cars I ever owned, I bought them used, with approx. 50,000. miles and kept them until well over 100,000. miles, then sold them. I had to "Buy American" because I work within a union, and got peer pressure. NEVER AGAIN!!

Summary:

A reliable, classy Japanese BMW

Faults:

Replaced alternator, contacts, radiator, muffler, shocks & struts. Nothing out of the ordinary for a car of this vintage.

General Comments:

This thing just keeps on cruising! Very reliable and practical too, since it's a wagon.

Nice blend of luxury and performance.

0 -60 in 8.5 sec.

The engine feels like it will last another 170000 miles.

Good paint and interior-quality materials all around.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
