1993 Toyota Camry V6 GX Sport review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The automatic gearbox suffered a catastrophic failure at just 80,000 miles. A Toyota replacement gearbox was quoted at £5000 plus VAT, over 23 % of the cost of the car when new. Stark choice of throwing the car away or spending the money. Total 'rip off'. The Car in Front is a prospective second mortgage. Have written to Toyota UK and complained, they replied in a dismissive way. I do not expect major components to fail at relatively low mileages on 'top of range' models and if they do I do not expect to pay almost a quarter of the cost of the whole car to effect a repair.
General comments?
I intend to generate as much publicity about this as possible and to conduct an independent survey on the cost of repairs/parts to Toyota's. Can you supply any useful web addresses to effect this?
