1986 Toyota Camry DX review from North America
"A perfect car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing a great car. Have done scheduled maintenance only.
I bought this car new in 1986, and still drive it daily in 2009.
General comments?
I think I will probably keep this car for a long as it runs. Everything works. Cold A/C etc.
There is an oil leak around the oil plug, which is minor. It has leaked for over 15 years. I just check the oil and add a little if needed.
Sometimes it won't start in park, and I have to slip the shift down to neural and it starts just fine.
Needs a neutral switch?
