1986 Toyota Camry LE review from North America

"Stone-cold reliable with proper maintenance"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

L.Rear power window ceased operation.

Power door locks inoperative.

Fuel filler pipe seeping gasoline when fuel tank is filled to capacity (corrosion related).

General comments?

I was dubious about buying a car with 300000 K's on it, but the previous owner had oil-sprayed the vehicle frequently throughout its tenure so the body is in amazing condition. The underside needs touch-ups to arrest some forming rust spots. The a/c had been serviced by the previous owner and was recharged with r434 (?) never heard of that refrigerant, but it must be a Japanese thing. However, it the a/c is still operating quite efficiently. Canada requires emission testing on all vehicles up to 20 years old (drat!) but the old Toyota passed without a hitch, and well within the parameters. The original cruise control still works!!!) This car was purchased to get me from A-B, it does highway speeds without complaining and has plenty of "giddy-up" when required. It has some little quirks, but they are small and are consistent with the car's are and mileage.
