1989 Toyota Camry Deluxe review from North America
"The car maxes out credit cars at a higher rate than Nicole Ritchie"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New Front End at 120,000 miles
New Struts and Mounts at 100,000 miles
The transmission and all mounts are nearly GONE!
All oil seals have vanished. It leaks like a sieve.
Defective window seals are falling out.
Radiator replaced twice.
Before electrical was rewired.. the car died randomly.. even at INTERSECTIONS
Most recent problem is terminal--valves and rods are failing.
General comments?
This car has been a money pit. My father and I have put forth over $3000 in the past 4 years to keep this car running. The lie that Toyota feeds consumers about their cars being the best on the road is possibly the greatest marketing ploy since Triumph of The Will. If one wishes to buy, an excellent used car, take heed and purchase a Lumina. That truly was the greatest car I've driven.
