1989 Toyota Cressida MX-83 review from North America
"A world class car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
AC condensor has stopped working.
Tachometer has stopped working.
Leather seats are starting to show their old age.
Not too bad at all.
General comments?
This is a World Class Japanese Luxury cruiser. I purchased this Cressida used off of the internet, even with the high miles I knew it was a real value for the money.
I have not had one major mechanical problem with the car since owning it. A few cosmetic things here and there such as the leather seats and broken tachometer, but that is expected with so many miles, plus it's old age.
This car could last forever. It still drives extremely smooth and is very quiet on the highway. Lots of power from the Supra engine too.
If you are looking for a reliable used car, why not a Cressida? They come fully loaded and offer great value. I would drive my Cressida any day over a new American made car, it is built to last.
