Yes, and yes.

BEHOLD!

Surprised the car dealer let you swap the car I would say avalon as well. Comfortable, more power. Having it certified is not that big of an issue, big it does mean you get that additional 18K mi. warranty, if i remember correctly.

Or for that kind of money, why not get a 90-94 Lexus LS400 with a 4.0L DOHC V-8? The LS400s are built like tanks, get good fuel mileage and are heavy, safe cars. I get about 20-22 mpg in mine. However, they require premium fuel.

THANK YOU EVERYBODY

Hello everybody
Thank you very much for your views. I finally got #1 Camry CE. Priamrily what suppoerted my decision was: Low mileage, privately owned, better resale value after 2 yrs, and well maintained. Including tax and fees, it came to $13K.

Apologize me for my ignorance of the engine stuff...

Thanks
Vellay.

well, thats the whole point of having forums like this one.

its so that people can share their knowledge about what they know and learn about things that they don't know.

I know that's the point of having a great forum such as TN!!! I swear, I'm addicted to this place, and it's great. I've helped people with a lot of things, and people here have helped me with a lot of things, I swear, this is almost like some kind of an on-line bar or something where everyone goes and talks...it's odd.

Now all we need is a "Cheers" inspired Toyota Nation.com Commerical -- "Someplace that you can go where everyone knows your car..." or something...

Oh to hell with it, I'm lacking creativity severely here...but it was fun while it lasted...:p

i don't think this place needs a commercial to advertise what we do.

word of mouth and searches on the net seem to be working well at the moment.

Yeah, I remember when I first came to the forums, I found it on the internet...but I mean that the forum is commonly used and pretty much the most popular toyota forum on the web, so I was saying that we needed a commercial or something, since that everything else that's popular's got one too.
