Im from northern illinois and i got my cressida after my camry and ranger both were crippled sequentially, and sold. the rangers in a junkyard somewhere in town. the camry, despite being sandwiched, is still being passed around college students around town. my cressida is in fairly good shape for its age in general, but things havent been taken care of by previous owners are catching up with it...few rust spots on fenders, shocks, belts, seals, etc etc. its overdue for a rebuild i cant afford, so i guess i'll just keep adding oil
. so far ive put a new radiator, rear shocks, plugs exhaust (still quiet...and 6 months old and leaking already, bastards shoddy work) 5 new tires, battery, wipers, plugs, and some misc other things that have broken. it still pulls strong though and isnt going to fall apart too soon. cressidas really do last forever even when abused horribly.
