The head gasket was replaced after 85,000 miles.
I had a complete new engine dropped shortly afterward. I was told by a Toyota dealership that the previous owner hadn't used the right type of oil, or had not changed it frequently.
I love everything about my 1996 Toyota Camry, and even though I admire the new 2006 model, I will keep mine since I have a one year old engine in it. I cannot think of anything that I don't like about it, since it is comfortable and handles well, and requires very little maintenance compared to the previous cars that I have owned.
Toyota Camrys are great, my only comment is that this person couldn't have owned a Toyota Skylark as the Skylark is a Buick.
