I am Frank. I bought a used 96 Camry LE Collectors Edition. I worked in Chrysler dealers for almost 30 years. When I left the auto business I also left my allegience to Chrysler. I was a Chevy man before that. Favorite car still a 69 Chevelle.
Needed to get a car to replace a beater I been killing. A good friend needed help with his daughters Camry while they were away on vacation. It was so much easier to work on then my other cars, I searched for one. I always knew the import technology was ahead of the domestic cars, but, damn this car has stuff! It has 174,000 miles on it. It has/had some typical Camry problems and some typical average mechanic problems, but overall the car is great. With my background and computer skills I have been able to get to the bottom of most of the items needing addressing.
I talked my neighbor, who was a Chrysler Tech, into taking a job at the local Toyota dealer that was expressing interest in his skills. He is so much happier at work now and I have a guy on the inside now.
I know if maintained these cars will out live me. Looking forward to a long relationship with Toyotas. Oh, yeah, after all those years in the car business I know not to buy new. Being mechanically inclined, I can get away with it. Looking foward to owning another soon.
