General comments?

Very Good and reliable vehicle. True it isn't cool, but its great for anyone needing dependability at a low price. Bought the car from a couple for $650 with 315000 miles. Put 50000 on her in the last year traveling between San Diego and Phoenix.

Minor items wrong when I bought the car to to general wear and tear. Replaced, spark plugs, wires, brakes, battery, and distributor as general precautionary maintenance. (Done whenever I buy a used car from private party)

Rewired the radio due to previous owner not knowing what they were doing. Had the wires all going above the carpet. Factory speakers weak/blown replaced with generic out of junk yard.

Had to replace two of the four window handles due to them being broken by previous owner.

Overall good car. No major problems have appeared, as is expected when buying a $650 vehicle. Starts every time, uses oil, but more due to leak than to burning. No knocks or clanks as of yet.

Excellent room for such a small car. Seats are comfortable for short and long trips.

Handles well at freeway or city speeds.

Turn signals could be located better, they are recessed under the bumper on mine, not sure if this is a common feature, but makes it hard for cars to see if you are turning at an intersection. Almost been hit multiple times.

The Camry LE is reliable, and has more features than you would expect from a 20 year old Toyota
