      @@codygarner7495 I think he’s joking that some manufacturers might intentionally make their cars hard to repair so their customers are more likely to toss the old car and buy the newer ones. The car being easily repaired is seen as a “bug” that needs to be fixed to them.. so they can rake in more profits.

      Man I love that car. And would still be driving it if someone wouldn't have totaled it. Could still check the dipstick and it would have caramel clean oil. Of course I regularly maintained it, but cars back then were easy to work on.

Second car was a 92 Camry, put 250k miles on it and the only non wear part I had to replace on it was the electric window motor in the driver side front, because back in the day we had to roll the window down to pay tolls.

The thing only had 239K+ or something like that and he regretted selling it ever since. Meanwhile I have over 284K on my '02 Camry Sedan and I know that thing will hit 300K before the year is over.

I've been a dealer auto technician for over 8 years and worked on a LOT of cars, I've also owned a lot of cars over the years from all makes and decades... The 2nd gen Camry is INSANE how reliable it is. Toyota's are excellent to begin with but these 2nd gen Camry's were like zenith of Toyota reliability. My Camry is pushing over 315K miles and hasn't needed ANYTHING other than servicing. Still has good compression across all cylinders, ice cold AC, all electronics work, smooth drive, great visibility, just a really comfy simple car. It's still averages 21-24mpg hwy...

      You go ahead and get yourself one of these cars, just don’t get into any accidents with modern cars. Even if you’re willing to put up with the lack of all the modern conveniences that 99% off buyers demand, you’re still driving a tin can. If this vehicle were to get in a collision with a modern car even at moderate speeds, you’ll be extremely lucky to survive let alone walk away. There’s a reason modern vehicles are the way they are and sorry it’s not the government or even the manufacturers fault. It’s the public’s fault for making the demands they’ve made about safety, efficiency, technology, and so on that have turned the modern car into what it is.

The only major repairs I did to it were replacing the rotors twice, 2 thermostats and the distributor. That was it. The least problematic car I have ever owned. I would have put a million miles on that thing except it got stolen. No cassette player, just an fm radio and hand crank windows. No computers. It was easy to work on at home and reliable as hell.

      «Ну конечно!» - сказала коррозия. Была бы анодная защита, тогда да. А по сколько это тойота, сгнила бы за 10 лет. На такой только по Калифорнии рассекать.

    My family put 300k on a Camry. It left us stranded once when the timing belt broke. Luckily a new timing belt and water pump (while you're in there) is all it needed. We sold it many years ago and it now has 422k, still running and only uses 1/2 quart of oil in between changes. They are great cars.

    Most beautiful Camry ever built.
    My sister had a 1989 and it was a very spacious reliable vehicle.

    My mom had an 88 just like this. Same color combo. Same sunroof and seatbelts.
    I needed this today.
