1988 Toyota Camry LE review from North America
"Long lasting reliability for cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major, just Oil change, air filter change.
Replace alternator at 205000 but the alternator look like the original.
Head gaskets are starting to give, small amount of pressure in the radiator.
Replace breaks twice, by fault. Did not bleed correctly.
Replaced all tires twice. A lot of driving.
General comments?
Great gas mileage, but tranny has some problems. I think its the linkage or something, no 2nd gear. Goes from 1st to 4th and when put in drive2 it goes to 3rd? Weird, but still runs.
