Add another camry to my group of friends. One of my friends recently got a light blue 1995 LE V6 Camry light blue for $2300. Not bad for the price, but it has some flaws. I don't have pictures yet, but I plan to get pictures soon.
What I'm here for is anything I need to watch out for these V6 camry. My other friend has a 1997 LE V6 also, so getting familar with the 1MZ-FE(?) engine is needed for me.
Anyhow, some things I need to try fix for her.
Front passenger bumper blinker is broken. Cover is cracked and the support where the bulb tighten is gone. The socket for the bulb is there though. going to junker for this
High mount tail burned. Going to replace
Power antenna. Non existent. The hole for it is there along with the surround plastic thing, but the antenna itself is gone. replacing entire thing I suppose fron junker.
Driver center vent is missing. Not sure how the vent came off. Going to figure this out and find one from junker.
Driver side accessory box (coin box?) doesn't latch. gonna replace entire thing.
Center console door below radio is broken one side (it'll fall off if open). replacing.
Center console between seat. The second part of it where it is connected to the storage bin is crack and rattling a bit. Nothing serious but I would replace it if I could. storage bin door surface has cracks.
A 'clunk' in the back when going over bumps. I suspect strut mounts.
The biggest thing would be the front. The passenger side had been pushed in. The owner said when he was parking, he smack the front on like some kind of thing he told me I forgot. I'm thinking like a garden box or some kind of pipes in the parking garage. This caused the passenger headlight to be pushed in along with messing the hood latch. He manage to get it to latch correctly though. The support holding the headlight is pushed back, hence the front radiator support thing that holds the radiator in place is bent slightly (not sure what the right name of it).
Besides that, the car is fine for having 214,000 miles. Owner rebuild the entire engine when it had 180,000ish. Engine made a noise top end, but he decided to get the entire thing rebuilt. A/C is cold as it had been overhauled in 2004.
Any suggestions of comments are welcome.
