1999 Toyota Camry LX review from North America
"The best car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Changed alternator after 150.000 miles.
Timing belt at 100.000 miles.
Struts at 110.000 miles.
Head lights every 2 years.
Brakes after 5 years.
General comments?
This car is really great, it has never let me down.
When I bought the car from the Toyota dealer, it had 54000 miles.
I changed the oil to Amsoil synthetic 0/30 grade. And now I change it once a year or 25000 miles.
The engine is running like new, and never needs oil. Plus I get about 32 mpg around town. Passes inspection like a new car.
