New Owner Camry (Vienta) - Hello and a quick question

[ScottieJay]

Hi to everyone,

this forum has been a big part of me moving to own a Camry and what to look for when buying

I've been lucky enough (I hope ) to purchase a '93 Camry 3.0 V6 auto called the Vienta in Australia.
She's only done 72,000 k (45,000 miles), has a few scratches but nothing that can't be fixed.

I checked the following before buying:

- transmission fluid (red and correct level)
- oil (still clear and not white residue, head gasket seems ok)
- moves from drive to reverse smoothly and easily
- v smooth on accelration, no smoke

CV joints seem good as does the suspension.

So, what I wanted to ask was any recommendations on what I should consider getting looked at straight away. I was thinking:

- Auto transmission service
- Timing belt

Any other thoughts/recommendations would be great thanks guys. Keep up the good work and I hope to be able to contribute soon too

Wecome to TN brother from a different mother.

Sounds like you are covering all your bases.

I am sure you have checked for recalls down under? Checked the car is not a chop job and of course not stolen?
An clearly you have checked the service record of this baby?

With all that done happy cruising.
