1992 Toyota Camry XLS review from North America
"Well worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, not a lot to speak of actually.
When I first got the car, it ran like a race car, then I noticed a vibration in the way it shifted. I brought it to my mechanic and he said it probably needed a tranny fluid change, and maybe some adjustments. Not knowing when any service had been done on the car, he suggested that we do the timing belt, radiator fluid and tune up. It cost me about $450 for everything, and now the car runs incredible.
Also, when I got it, the power antenna didn't go up, but the radio worked just fine.
General comments?
I bought this car with over 166K on it. Yes, I was a bit apprehensive, but the car looked so good and ran solid, I figured for $2100 how could I go wrong. It booked for over double that.
It was in GREAT shape. The leather was a little worn, but the windows, rugs etc were in excellent shape. My wife has a Honda Accord that's about 5 years newer and she still prefers to take my car, saying it's much more fun to drive, and she feels safer in it.
This car has the V6, and when I say its got Balls, that's putting it mildly. Makes me want to get a Lexus for my next car - but then I ask myself, why spend the extra $$ when I can buy a Camry instead!
