Camry & Solara LoungeDiscussion area for every generation of Toyota's family car, the Toyota Camry. Lexus ES250/300 owners welcome! Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance and more.
With that mileage over all these years,that car will have some mechanical issues from lying around,though.
damn, i'd buy that car in a heartbeat, and just run it, and take just as good care of it.....there wouldn't/shouldn't be ANY mechanical issues lying around...
Oh Glenn......
You just can't imagine the problems that come with this car. Be ready to replace a lot of things, starting with the water pump, hoses, belts, cv boots, all fluids, and that's just for starters. Very nice looking car but the upholstery is likely aged and will tear easily. If someone is going to park it and just drive occasionally it might be fine, but for it to become someone's daily driver will require some serious maintenance. It belongs in a museum.

nah.....the car was well cared for (according to the description) and frankly it does appear to have been....
i could see maybe flushing the cooling system, but seriously, if i lived in the area, i wouldn't think twice about buying it. i'd have to do a KBB search on private sale, then bid around that. but yeah, i'd buy it.
is this a private sale by owner? description makes it sound like the original owner is selling this car. why does it have a used car lot sticker on the back?
I am the original owner of a 94 Camry XLE 4 cylinder. Those Goodyear Invicta GL tires were the OEM tires that came on the car when new. I had them on my car. Whoever buys this car should consider changing them out as soon as they get the car.

no man, you gotta flush all the fluids, change fuel filter and change the plugs, over time fluids will absorb water from condensation buildup and become diluted, basically useless in other words. Some of the plastic may become brittle from oxidation and crack easily when under strain, and it also depends how and where it was stored. I dunno, if someone were to buy this, get a mech to take a look at it first, esp the undercarrage since im almost sure the guy didnt put a vapor barrier under the car when stored
Paying more than that would be ridiculous. Even with only 6k miles theres going to be a lot of issues with a 16 year old car, especially if its been sitting in garage of a grandma for the last 15 years without ever being drivin.
