1987 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"Can't this car die?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For as long as I've owned it, there's been no big bad surprises mechanically.
It leaks oil, but did when I got it.
The rear shocks are completely gone, now. Even running on just the springs, it's pretty smooth.
Adding oil every week, and the clutch fluid reservoir leaks, but I can't complain for $500.
General comments?
Toyota can't seem to do anything wrong, in my eyes.
Has plenty of power for city driving.
Very comfortable ride, nice and roomy.
The power moon roof is a good feature.
