"Solid - rock solid, best car ever built! I love it!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air conditioning Leaks

Motor blew, my fault.

Transmission acts up on cold day.

General comments?

Great car!

Sat in yard for five years, while I rebuilt the motor really slowly.

Took it out on the road and it drives more solid than cars built in 1994. Certainly worth keeping. You want to sell me your old Cressida? I'd sure be interested! :-)

I own one too! It's a really fun car to drive love it even more in the rain when the back - end breaks loose and you can really have some fun! But if and when the transmission starts slipping a little or you hear a clanking when you come to a stop the problem is easily fixed, most of the time it just needs new transmission fluid. After that it should stop slipping in cold weather.

(P.s. only slide that car around if you know what you're doing or else you'll be out a great car)

I have a 1982 Cressida with 220,875 miles on it, great car, only thing I have replaced on the car since I have had it is a water pump, rodded out the rad., and a fan clutch. Yes, it is very fun in the rain :-). also I have performance parts on it so. not scared to take the car anywhere. doesn't smoke, has no leaks, took the powers stearing and A/C off of it, (take some of the weight off of it) but great car.

I've had mine for years! A comfortable car, and has remained that way since I bought it. Has over 210,000 miles on it and keeps strong. Only problem it's had is some minor body damage (my fault of course), the A/C has never worked, and the rear u-joint went out a while ago.
