Going to look at 2005 camry 5 speed manual

[anotherYOTA]

Hi guys Im going to the dealer to look at a 2005 camry 4cyl 5 speed manual tomorrow. What should I look for. So far I have read about 4cyl throttle body failure. How do I know if it's been changed. And also read about stripped head bolts. Any tips are much appreciated. Also it has 80k and 1 owner.

ive never heard of throttle body failure on the 2azfe....... also the head bolt problem is more common on the 02-03 camry

asides from a basic inspection and test drive i would check the serp belt area for any dried pink coolant residue..... the original water pumps are a weak point on these engines

if it's a reasonable price, buy it. My 04 is almost at 200k, stock clutch, has been perfect. take care of it and it'll take care of you.

good luck! join the very few of us that have a 5-speed
