1988 Toyota Camry CS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great second hand car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Indicator electrical failure.
Air conditioner needed upgrade and re-gassing.
Front struts needed replacement (expensive).
New tyres.
Fan speed resistor burnt out and needed replacing.
General comments?
It has had a share of problems, but for its age they are limited.
Power is good for a 4-cylinder engine and the fuel economy is pretty good.
The interior has plenty of room for a full car load of passengers.
Design may not be exciting, but Toyota is all about good value for good quality vehicles.
Top buy for a family with limited finances.
