When I bought the car, the previous owner mentioned that the speedometer did not always work properly. It turns out that the speed sensor was to blame and I got it fixed. Other than that, nothing else has gone wrong.
I got this car for a steal at $2,000. It had 162,000 miles, but I took it anyway.
The speed sensor was replaced, and that stopped the car dying on me, and the needle not working.
This is a very comfortable car, especially with the lumbar support of the driver seat. My leather seats are worn, as are the carpets, but this is expected in a 14 year old car.
The paint is in nice shape, and there are no other major defects.
I believe Toyota builds a great car, and it's no wonder I see so many old ones on the road. There is a reason they are moving forward.
I can't really say anything bad about this car. Even with the high mileage it runs great. I hear that these cars, when properly maintaied and cared for, can run well over 200,000 miles.
If you're looking for a used car, I would recommend any Toyota Camry. Just make sure the previous owners took good care of it.
Wow, $2000- - cars must be really high where you live! That would be a 700-$800 car in the rural midwest where we live. I am driving a 1993 Maxima- 134,000 miles- $900.
Well Japanese cars tend to keep their value. You got a heck of a deal for your car, but I guess it depends on where you live.
