With 136k we have done the expected,Timing belt,cam and crank seals, oil pump O rings, plus transmittion oil change,coolant change ...etc. But my 2002 Camry with only 40k has recently had to have the air/fuel sensor and a/c mag.clutch relay replaced. So, I'm wondering if this is a sign of things to come.Has Toyota come around to the planned obsolesance that the American car manufacturers succumbed to. lobo View Public Profile Find all posts by lobo Add lobo to Your Buddy List   #2   10-08-2006, 04:43 AM Wolfgang Junior Member   Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 62 Are Camrys' Still as Well Make as in the past Yeah go buy a Chrysler or GM even a NISSAN and drive for a couple of years --- then you'll be back for Yota quality. I had stuff fixed free (AC on 12 year old 4Rnr) from Toyota - Special Service Campaign) many years past warranty. New cars are very complicated - stuff does break - but Yota stands behind fixing them (take the purported sludging of engines - they extended warranty). Plus price seems to remain pretty constant with new features added. You can still get a new Camry for $18k!

These cars were easy to fix and service, had less plastic and rubber parts, were creatively designed and well build. While new, they still were able to go 25 mpg (corolla 1.6, 2TC). -- Doctor J ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Doctor J's Profile: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/m...hp?userid=53661 View this thread: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=159065 Doctor J View Public Profile Find all posts by Doctor J Add Doctor J to Your Buddy List   #4   10-09-2006, 09:45 AM Wolfgang Junior Member   Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 62 Are Camrys' Still as Well Make as in the past Yeah if you don't mind them rusting away. New ones don't seem to rust. "Doctor J" <Doctor.J.2fezaz@no-mx.forums.yourdomain.com.au> wrote in message newsoctor.J.2fezaz@no-mx.forums.yourdomain.com.au...

However, the hatch doors on 82-85 Celicas and Supras are developing huge rust gashes around the glass. Also, on my 87 Camry Wagon I have found primed, but unpainted area above the rear door opening around the hinges. -- Doctor J ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Doctor J's Profile: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/m...hp?userid=53661 View this thread: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=159065 Doctor J View Public Profile Find all posts by Doctor J Add Doctor J to Your Buddy List « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Thread Tools Search this Thread Show Printable Version Email this Page Search this Thread: Advanced Search Display Modes Linear Mode Switch to Hybrid Mode Switch to Threaded Mode Posting Rules You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts vB code is On Smilies are On [IMG] code is On HTML code is Off Forum Jump Please select one User Control Panel Private Messages Subscriptions Who's Online Search Forums Forums Home -------------------- Cars Lounge     General     Acura     Alfa Romeo     Audi     BMW     Dodge     Ferrari     Fiat     Ford         Ford Explorer         Ford Falcon         Ford Festiva         Ford Flathead         Ford Focus         Ford Mustang     GM         GM Cadillac         GM Cadillac Deville         GM Camaro         GM Camaro Firebird         GM Chevy Malibu         GM Corvette         GM Fiero         GM Oldsmobile         GM Pontiac     Honda     Hyundai     Infiniti     Isuzu     Jaguar     Kia     Lexus     Mercedes Benz     Mini     Mitsubishi     Nissan     Peugeot     Porsche         Porsche 911         Porsche 928         Porsche 944     Rolls Royce     Saab     Subaru     Toyota         Toyota Camry         Toyota MR2         Toyota Prius     Volkswagen         Volkswagen Beetle     Volvo All times are GMT -8.
