1991 Toyota Camry DX review from North America

Outside of regular service intervals performed since ownership (0-100k):

At 177K fuel leak (inconclusive);

150K the alternator;

130K the radiator, O2 sensor;

60k-100k struts.

Recently, my wife and I donated the vehicle because the cost to replace the fuel tank, fuel pump & sender unit (even though they were intact) & housings, straps, etc. were well beyond our threshold, the value of the car which I estimated to be $1000.

We really hated to get rid of this vehicle, especially me. I paid $250 to Toyota dealer to inspect and basically tell me the cost to repair the gas leak would be $900. As yet, I still don't know what caused fuel to leak vigorously while just idling in park. I did, however, see the tank myself and noticed a 360 degree wet spot where the fuel pump is bolted onto the tank. In hindsight, I should've endured all labor pains myself, repaired and put it up for sale (what we were trying to do just before the fuel leaks). What a bummer...

But, I would purchase another '91 with very low miles in a New York minute. I absolutely enjoyed doing some of the maintenance on this car.
